Scarf Season!

It seems that summer just ended, and yet I was met with a dusting of snow when I left the house this morning. In Vermont, this signals a few things: Time to put on the snow tires, stack firewood, and pick out your new winter accessories!

I love scarves, not just for their added warmth on cold mornings, but because they are a great accessory to brighten up the dull months of winter.

Here are a few of my favorite handmade scarf finds from the indie world:

We <3 Fred Flare + Great Holiday Gifts

As many of you know, I am a YouTube fan. This morning I woke up at an unholy hour and was wasting passing time by watching videos from all around the world. While I was browsing I stopped by the Fred Flare page, since they’ve always got something entertaining going on. I couldn’t believe it when I realized their latest video is a clip of Chris and Keith as they take a roller coaster ride!

Secret Confession: I’m terrified of roller coasters, but I force myself to go on them. Here in Florida we have quite a few. Here’s the last roller coaster I rode (other than the indie business roller coaster we are all so fond of!): The SheiKra. If you like heights, love going really fast and have an addiction to adrenaline, the SheiKra is definitely the ride for you! Personally, you couldn’t pay me to go back on it!

You might be asking yourself, “So what’s The REAL reason Tamara is rambling about all this?”. Well, the truth is Georgia and I both adore Fred Flare and you can just imagine that roller coaster feeling of surprise we had when we found out that they have been reading our blog! [Waving Hello To Everyone From Fred Flare!]

Even better, they dropped us a line to let us know that they’re having a sale! You all know that we LOVE a good sale, and this one sure qualifies!

The new Fred Flare holiday gift guide has launched and they’re offering 25% off for two weeks!

They have some super great products in the gift guide, including this Roller Tote (a much safer rolling experience than the SheiKra and my personal favorite!):

So yes, dear reader, get your beautiful behind over to FredFlare.com and take advantage of this rather advantageous sale!

OH! And while you’re in the holiday mood, check out THIS treat from Reliving Moments: Personalized Santa letters!

Each adorable letter comes with holiday stickers, a combination Christmas coloring/activity book and crayons! There are seven different letters to choose from and they even have the official postmark from the North Pole! How cute is that?!

Order early though, so that your little ones get their letters from Santa in time!
