Christina Designs Art

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Pillows A-La-Mode

My newest Shop Love! post is for my blogging friend Christina of Christina Designs Art. Just look at these gorgeous handmade earrings and the pretty hairpins-with-a-la-mode! These will make such lovely, welcome gifts for some of the sweet girls in my family this year. Click here for Christina’s blog and here for her Etsy shop, where you’ll find many other styles of earrings and beaded hair pins as well as memory wire bracelets and acrylic paintings. Thank you, Christina! ♥

The backdrop is one of my favorite books: MADELEINE L’ENGLE HERSELF: REFLECTIONS ON A WRITING LIFE compiled by Carole F. Chase

Your post contains several ‘gifts’. Those earrings are so pretty and the hair clips would be perfect for so many different hair-lengths/occasions. Your placement on those pages is a wonderful snippet into the thoughts of a delightful writer. Thank you!

My favorite author as well. I introduced my children to her books when they were younger and they are fans as well. Cute items, I just looked at Christina’s shop and love her paintings!

  She is SUCH a talented painter! And I love this quote by Madeleine: “The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.” 🙂

Ah! MADELEINE L’ENGLE HERSELF is one of my favorite books ever! Seriously, I think I might have underlined the entire book. So many amazing quotes! And what a creative way to photograph those lovely items. Love it!
