New arrivals

We are getting new items all the time like these handcrafts Santas. Happy holidays!!

Upcycled Burlap

I love recycled burlap bags... I've seen them made into dozens of items from decorative pillows to stylish pillows. So when I saw these burlap-boasting Christmas stockings at the Vegas market this summer, I couldn't resist. Even my co-shopper, my sister Katie, was hooked and quickly we placed an order for homebodies.
In addition to the burlap, the stockings are topped with timeless fabrics. They're priced at $16.99; limited quantities.

bling for the season

homebodies has the perfect bling for the season! Check out our fun Christmas-inspired earrings... Christmas trees with eye-catching gold highlights and bright lights. We also have watch bands in festive colors and more.

countdown to Christmas

December is just underway and it's not too late to get a Christmas countdown of sorts -- and we have lots of good ones at homebodies. We have decorative holders where you put in each day's prize... we also have one that has an activity for each day leading up to Christmas.
Christmas countdowns are fun for the whole family and are a tradition in our home.
Merry Christmas!

These round tins have magnets on the bottom, so they're ideal to go on your refrigerator or magnet board.

These countdown blocks add to the excitement of Christmas.

This advent calendar suggests a task for each day leading up to Christmas.

Go sledding!!

This countdown has a snowflake magnet that you move each day.

This Christmas countdown board utilizes match boxes to hide Holiday treats in.

This sled-style countdown is as decorative as it is fun.

And this countdown is contained in a decorative jar filled with boxes filled with surprises.

Beautiful Bedroom

I'm looking for ideas to decorate our master bedroom, and I came across this beautiful space. I just love it! It's so simple, yet so captivating.... from the contrasting fabrics to the matching side tables and lamps to the creative way vinyl lettering was used to add pizazz to the wall. It's well-balanced but definitely does not feel square. I also love how the sunburst mirror plays off the geometrical design of the bedspread and how it reflects the timeless chandelier. All of it is very welcoming.

New Arrival!! Pop-Can Bows

homebodies just received these pop-can bows. You can wear them just about anywhere - your hair, jacket, purse. Not only are they creative, but we always love when materials are re-used. $4.50 each. Custom orders available.

homebodies offers lots of custom items - things that our crafters make just the way you want! These family blocks are our latest arrivals... the set features four blocks (stack 'em how you want) that can say just about anything. Here, we have the family name, the date mom&dad were married, the number of family members and everyone's name. You can choose the color of vinyl, too. Customized blocks $15.

Summer Lovin'

Sadly, summer is running out of time. So we wanted to post some items at homebodies that embody the spirit of the season - bright and sunny, colorful and cheerful. Here are a few of our favorites:

We still have a good selection of bird feeders and windchimes. Put them up now, but enjoy them year-round!

Our handcrafted dragonfly blocks are popular and can be the perfect accent to any room.

We have colorful brooches (blooming with style!), wreaths, candles and more!

We have unique, handcrafted jewelry that is as fun as summer can be!

And we love this SUMMER - with a slice of watermelon and a beach umbrella!

Back to School

School starts soon in Tooele County and just in time, homebodies has just received two adorable desks. Both have been re-finished by hand.

The black desk comes with a matching stool and is equipped with 5 drawers - and it's priced at only $75! (UPDATE: SOLD!)

The handpainted desk is unique and colorful (who wouldn't want to do homework while sitting here?!). It has 3 drawers and measures approximately 48"w x 30"h x 24"d - $140. The cool chair with the zebra print seat is sold separately, $50.

New Items!

lots of new stuff arriving at homebodies! Perfect for your home, gift-giving, weddings, house warmings and more!

Downtown pretty

Downtown is getting pretty. Thanks to the Tooele North Stake youth. Thank you!

Despite the Gloomy Weather

Love peonies best when they're sitting on my windowsill, especially with cold and rainy weather like we're having.

Malorie's Bedroom

ok, ok. My niece Malorie is almost six months old and I have neglected putting her adorable nursery on our blog to share with all of you.

What I love most about Malorie's room is the hand-stitched Precious Moments border. It was made by her Grandma. I don't know how long the border measures (I'd guess it's at least 12 feet long), but to me, every stitch represents love.

All of the furniture was re-painted by Malorie's mom, Katie, in a soft shade of mint green or cream. Accent colors include mauve and chocolate brown.
The room also features a vintage chandelier (not shown) given to Katie by a friend. The bedroom is a peaceful, beautiful living space filled with love.

Creating a Glam Garden

I always say there's nothing paint can't make pretty! And I think this old iron patio chair is certainly proof what color can do for something.

First, I rubbed down the chair with double zero (00) grade steel wool just to remove any rusty flakes and build up. Then I wiped the chair clean and grabbed the spray paint can.

Home Depot in Tooele has some fabulous new colors-- and this blue is one of them. I also grabbed a vibrant purple for an iron bench, but you'll have to wait until I'm done to see the finished product.

I was lucky to find the coordinating plastic planter at Wal Mart (just $3).

Once some colorful flowers are added, this planter will be a focal point in any yard. SOLD!

Just stopped by and saw Pam 2 DeVine Decor on west Vine...a great addition 4 downtown! Everything from vintage to shabby chic to elegant. Check it out!

Super Cute Sleepover Invitation

My daughter, Berkeley, just received this adorable sleepover invite... and I liked it so much I wanted to share... The invite has 3 pieces... a handmade sleeping bag, a scrapbook little girl (complete with a ponytail just like the birthday girl herself) and the sleepover details.

If the invitation is any indication of how much fun this party is going to be, the birthday girl and her guests are going to have a blast!
