For the Birds

For those of you who love bird watching, we have a variety of beautiful items featuring our feathered friends.... from ceramic decor globes to handmade birdhouses to stunning framed prints. There's more inside homebodies including bird feeders, bird houses, ceramic birds and some made out of mercury glass for a vintage appeal.

Local Artist

One of the best things about homebodies is all of the fascinating people you get to meet, including local artists. There are so many talented people in our area. Just a short while ago Mario, a local sculptor who works with bronze, came into the store with one of his pieces. His work and attention to detail are amazing- my quick snapshots don't do his talent full justice. If you are pondering a bronze sculpture for your home, yard or garden, please let us know. We would be happy to pass along Mario's contact information.

Valentine's Day Cards

homebodies still has a huge selection of Valentine's Cards-- all of them handmade. Cards are always a wonderful gift for Valentine's because it's the perfect opportunity to write a love note to that special someone. And it will last much longer than roses or candy! Our handmade cards include scrapbook-style cards, hand-stamped cards and even funny ones or packages of Hershey's kisses with a handmade note.

Fundraiser for Candice Heaps

Help us raise money for Candice Heaps, an Overlake mom and friend to many who is currently battling lymphona. Jen Brooks, our crafter extraordinaire, is making these heartfelt tiles and homebodies is selling them for $15 each. Best of all--all of the money will go to Candice and her family.

The tile says:
Cancer is so limited ...

It cannot cripple love

It cannot shatter hope

It cannot corrode faith

It cannot destroy people

It cannot kill friendship

It cannot suppress courage

It cannot invade the soul

It cannot steal eternal life

It cannot conquer the spirit

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Candice and her family, as well as many others who have battled cancer.

New Stuff

Here's a few new things we just got in... all have a bit of the wild side to them. Actually, the elephant canvas we've had for a while, but all the decorative accessories surrounding it are new and include the faux reptile skin picture frame, the bright yellow geometrical picture frame, the teak votive candle holders, the silver vases and the orange palm candle. Unfortunately, by time time we posted the photo, some of the items have sold. So if there's something here that catches your eye, don't wait!

Smells so Sweet!

Thanks to another one of our dedicated crafters, homebodies has a quality line of candle melts. They're made from soy wax and feature premium oils for long-lasting scent. They come in attractive star shapes (even though they will melt...) and a variety of scents - from floral to fruity to sweet to spicy. The candle melts come in 2 oz. packages and cost $2.
