Weekly Wishlist- Pretty, Pretty Accessories

Hi guys! As promised yesterday, here's a round-up of all the gorgeous goods I wish I would have been able to take home with me from the vendors at Urban Craft Uprising. There are a lot of amazingly pretty and unique accessories on this list!
How gorgeous is this bag? The fabric, the leather, the shape, everything!
I've been really interested in geometric shapes lately, and love the way the colors of this lovely enamel necklace give it a lot of extra personality.
These pretties are perfect to put in your favorite boots when you're not wearing them. Not only do they help them keep their shape, but they make a gorgeous display. Phyllis was also showing some amazing felt clutches in this peacock pattern at Urban Craft Uprising and I'm really hoping they will make an appearance on her website soon! 
I already took home a gorgeous tiny pocket knife necklace from Snash Jewelry, but was so sad to leave this darling necklace behind. I love all the little people and am amazed at the detail on this fun little piece of jewelry.
Ya know how sometimes you see a tote bag and think "I could totally make that myself"? This is NOT one of those times! This print is gorgeously intricate and the addition of the leather straps makes this tote a lot fancier- perfect to use as a handbag!
Oh, Bird of Virtue, your jewelry just gets me all a-flutter. This necklace is just amazing. I love the combination of the woods, and the gold metallic sunburst action is over-the-top pretty! I can't get enough!
I know it's a little bit of a stretch as an accessory, but a nice scent kinda counts as an accessory, right? I love the amazing aroma of this dryer sheet liquid. I've never used dryer sheets before since I have such bad fragrance allergies, but since these are made only with essential oils my clothes can smell like a dream without the nasty side effects!

I hope you enjoyed checking out all these amazing accessories!

What are you wishing for this week?

Til next time!

P.S. I strayed a bit from my usual wishlist format on this post. What do you guys think? Are you fans of this format or do you like to see everything clustered together? I kind feel like there might be a time and a place for both?

Pretty Little Things- Urban Craft Uprising

1. "Ruby" Print by Anna Todaro; 2. Lavender+Sage Natural Deodorant from Schmidt's Natural Deodorant; 3. Grapefruit+Bergamot Soap from Pepperjack Home; 4. Tiny Pocket Knife Necklace from Snash Jewelry; 5. Garden Bon Bon from Moulton; 6. Coral Reef Fishes Book Journal from Ex Libris Anonymous; 7. Tiny sewing kit, not sure where from!; 8. Gallivant Print- On Wood by Adrienne Vita

Ok, so by now you may know the I attended and volunteered at Urban Craft Uprising over the weekend. It was a lot of fun getting to meet some new crafty people and check out all of the gorgeous items the vendors came with. I, of course, brought a few things home, so I thought I would share what I got!

Now, one of the perks of volunteering is that you get to bring home a swag bag! Mine included some great stuff like this gorgoues "Ruby" Hummingbird print by Anna Todaro, an amazing smelling natural deodorant from Schmidt's Natural Deodorant, a garden bon bon that will grow cilantro and caraway (yum!) from Moulton, an awesome journal made from a recycled copy of Coral Reef Fishes of the Caribbean from Ex Libris Anonymous, and a cute little sewing kit that will be perfect to keep in my purse for emergency clothing situations! There was also an awesome brownie from D:Floured, but ya'll know that got eaten before I could get a picture of it!
In addition to all the awesome goodies I brought home from volunteering, I also purchased a few things, naturally. Since I could easily go overboard at a show full of so many amazing creations, I decided to give myself $60 cash for spending money. And, of course, I ended up spending every last penny.

I'm completely in love with this fox print on wood that I picked up from Adrienne Vita. Isn't he pretty? I'm not quite sure where I'll hang him yet, but I'm sure I'll find the perfect spot! The rest of her prints are just as gorgeous, so I think I might have to build a collection of them.

This grapefruit and bergamot soap from Pepperjack Home smells so so so amazing. I often shy away from scented products since I have some pretty gnarly allergies to most fragrances, but these products are made with only essential oils so I'm able to breathe in all the fantastic aromas without any signs of asthma or a stuffy nose. In addition to soap, they also make laundry products, sugar scrubs, room sprays, and a whole line of men's products. Everything. Smells. So. Good.
Last but not least, I brought home this pocket knife necklace from Snash Jewelry. Oh man, there were so many pretty things, but this little tiny pocket knife made my heart go pitter patter, so it came home with me. I think I've worn it every day since I got it, so you'll probably be seeing it in an upcoming outfit post or twenty!

There was a lot of amazing stuff at Urban Craft Uprising, so tomorrow I'll be sure to share some of my favorite items that didn't make it home with me on my Weekly Wishlist.

Til next time!
