Please help me find these bird earrings

Does anybody know where I can buy these birds? They are all over etsy so I know they have to be sold somewhere - I've looked at local stores with no luck and searched on line but I am at a loss. I know I could order from etsy, but I'd like a few to give as presents so I'd rather buy the birds and then make my own. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!  Thank you!!!

Another marathon memento to put around my neck

The other day I saw a website that made necklaces for athletes.

I decided I HAD to HAVE a necklace in honor of the marathon I ran...2 years ago.

Isn't it spiffy?  You get to customize the charm piece with a map of the town you ran the race in.

My only question is.... Do I need 13 of them for each half marathon I've run?????

Loving my Lisa Leonard necklace

I finally ordered the pinwheel necklace from Lisa Leonard Design that I've had my eye on for a while and I love it. I'm pumped that I got to customize the saying. Instead of "play every day" I had it say "play laugh love". 

The photo doesn't do it justice.

(Sweet bonus I can even reuse the cute box and tissue paper.)

She also has a molded heart bracelet that I have my eye on, but I don't wear bracelets much so I'm thinking about it in necklace format.

Anyway - if you are ever interested check out her website: lisaleonardonline.com.

Accessorizing on the wild side

My sister-in-law {Gail} can wear all types of jewelry and make it look not only gorgeous but also natural. I really admire her sense of style and how she just knows what will look good together.  I decided to take my admiration a step further and try to spice up my jewelry collection and step out side the box of what I normally wear (wedding band and boring silver post earrings).  So today I took a step on the wild side and wore a beautiful new necklace I just purchased from Allora Handmade. I originally saw it on Lisa Leonard Online where she mentioned that several people stopped her to ask about the necklace. Flip through some of her other 'what I wore Wednesday' posts and you'll see it matched with several other outfits. My closet consists of navy, brown, and black. Nothing in moss green yet that is the color I feel in love with - and am SO glad I did!

I contemplated getting the mini version but that would be skimping on stepping outside the box. I'm so glad I didn't skimp and got the wilder (for me) full size version.  Super duper cute. I'm now coveting another color {mustard} (another color not currently found in my closet) but she is all sold out so I have to wait [patiently]. (P.S. Sign up on-line for her newsletter and get a code for 15% off your first order.)

Today I also sported a new ring that was also inspired by {Gail}.

I got it at Dillards on a recent shopping trip.
I originally wanted it on my pointer finger

but quickly realized my finger is a little plumper than I thought so I had to switch it to my ring finger.

The switch wasn't a big deal - I just thought it was more outgoing of me to wear it on the pointer finger.
