Aimee Mullins

This is probably the most powerful thing you could ever see. I encourage each and every one of you to watch this video of Aimee Mullins, a bilateral below the knee amputee, explain the true human condition and how we treat each other and our children. I can honestly say that my life is better for having seen this :) It will put a smile on your face!

Creepy Smiles

I just found this post on Twitter and wanted to share! I couldn't help but laugh!

Hello fellow bloggers and Etsians! I just discovered Spellbinders in my search for large craft punches. While I'm on an artsy kick, do you have any *must have* suggestions for me?! What can't I live without? Your input is much appreciated :)

New March Sponsors

Happy March, everyone! Let's give our new sponsors a nice warm welcome! Remember, this is "Free Sponsorship Month" on Haute Whimsy, so if you have been wanting to test out advertising for your Etsy shop, web site or blog, now is the time! (It's okay to jump in late- simply e-mail me here)

Created by Vanessa has the most wonderful scarves and gloves! I discovered her in the cold winter months and fell in love with her creations!

Twillypop's whimsical necklaces are very dear to me because they remind me of a special necklace that my grandma made for me when I was a little girl. I get a little misty-eyed whenever I visit her shop :)

The *Trimmings* and *Fancy Goods* offered at Moonlight Court will envelope you in a lush world of Jane Austen and Marie Antoinette! Lucky us!

Faerie Moon Creations' designs are inspired by the earth, nature, fantasy, faeries, folklore, animals, the shining sun, the whispering winds, and the deep blue sea! Have fun perusing her
Etsy boutiques.

Renee T. Bouchard is a fabulous personal style consultant! Stop by her site and see what she has to offer. I love that she has packages for singles and for couples!

Style My Happiness is a fun style blog which also links to Lenka's Etsy shop! I really love her art!

Step into another era at Serendipity Vintage! They specialize in original vintage sewing and craft patterns from the 1940s through the 1970s!

Two Little Tots is the place to be if you're a mom to be! Melissa makes wonderful baby and kid goods, and she even generously offers free shipping if you're from Minnesota!

I'm very excited about Crafty Girls Workshop because I've been in such a sewing mood lately! They have beautiful fabric and patterns, precut and bolts. Come be a crafty vixen!

Bonnie Jones Photography delivers hand printed photographs! She has a great Americana collection, as well as fantastic note cards and other wonderful collections in her shop!

Mandie's Mumblings is such a delightful blog that I love to visit! She says "I am a girl, who is trying to become a woman, while in the middle of figuring out which girl-like qualities are important to hold on to."
