Creative Photo Displays

A few blogs ago, we posted some creative photo displays. Now, one of our talented crafters has put her own spin on a decorative photo board. The boards feature funky Asian-inspired fabric in bright colors and fastened with modern hardware-all adorned with ribbon and embody with a sturdy frame. I just love these... probably because Asian-inspired ANYTHING grabs my attention. BTW... these boards measure approximately 11" wide x 23" tall and are priced at $30.

Valentine Bling

Our handmade watch bands are one of our hottest items. And our crafters just brought in some pink, white and red ones that are perfect for Valentine's. Some of them have heart details in glass, plastic or metal. You can mix and match the faces to make it just the way you like it.

New Hand-Made Valentine Items

We've got lots of cute decorations for Valentine's Day... but just got in some adorable, one-of-a-kind handmade items.

Our decorative door hangs measure 11"x24" (not including the wire hanger) and come in a variety of colors. The one shown is in chocolate brown and soft pink... and all of them feature a pinecone and berry topper. $24.95

Our Valentine's vinyl boards are fun. This one features lots of love-inspired sayings, a polka-dot background and a ribbon tie. $19.95

And our black glittered hearts with delicate pink ribbon are both hip and humble. Priced at $6, $7 and $8.

Cheap Decorating Ideas for Wintertime

Decorating during winter can be tough... most of us pack away all of our Christmas decorations to find we have nothing left. Here are a few ideas from homebodies for decorating this time of year. These items are nice because they can go up before Christmas and can stay out until you're ready to move into spring. Our dried berry and pinecone trees are just $7.50... they make ideal accents for shelves, tables and countertops. Our "Let it Snow" shovels are $2.50! Combine them with our wreaths (all of our wreaths are marked down, prices range from $14 to $20) for even more fun. We also have a collection of resin bears priced from $14. If you're looking for a house-warming gift, we have pinecone and pinetree candles (priced from $5) that you can combine with matches that come in a coordinating decorative box ($2). We also have an adorable snowman picture holder (holds 5 photos) for just $12.

Creative Cardinal

Who would have thought the Cardinals would make the playoffs this year??! My brother, Matt, and his wife, Katie, are HUGE Arizona Cardinals fans... they even have season tickets. When the Cards made it into the Super Bowl last year, Katie created this seven-layer bean dip. It was a huge hit and it is sooo creative!

Katie covered strips of cardboard with aluminum and created the shape of the cardinal's profile herself! You can do the same for your favorite team. Just put your shape on a flat pan and make your dip! Katie did have to improvise... using slices of yellow pepper for the beak... it was the hit of our football party.

New Calendars for the new year

it's a new year and it's time for a new calendar. homebodies currently has a good selection of calendars that are not only stylish, they can be used year after year! Here's a look at some calendars we currently have in stock... we also have day/month magnets to go with our perpetual calendars by Lone Elm Studio (that's the calendar shown hanging from a shelf - comes in cream or black).
