For those of you in New York, florist Nicolette Owen of Nicolette Camille is selling flowers in Williamsburg this week. Her arrangements are so pretty...perfect for Mother's Day...
{Details: This Saturday & Sunday on N.6th Street & Bedford Ave in Williamsburg (right next to 'Shoe Market') from 11am-5pm.}
It's a flower-heavy week over here at Oh Joy! Maybe because Valentine's Day is coming up or maybe thoughts of spring keep entering my mind. Either way, a few more gorgeous floral gifts...I love these "before and after" arrangements from Rose and Radish, emphasizing the use of the vessel after the love fest is over. {Delivery in the SF, Bay Area only}
Jayson Home & Garden has a beautiful selection of florals for Valentine's day...all incorporating reusable vases and vessels. While I wish they delivered nationwide, these beauties are available for delivery to lucky recipients in Chicago only.
Since the holiday shopping rush officially begins this weekend, I wanted to share with you my Philly column's picks for last minute gifts for those of you in the area. You can read the full piece right here...and for those of you in New York, check out our Mixed Co. shop which closes right after the holidays on December 28th. Check out photos of the shop right here...Have a great weekend everyone!

For those of you in New York, Philly, and Boston...I'm working on the Holiday Gift Guides for the Metro Paper in those cities, so stay tuned for the multi-part guide over the next few weeks. I'll update my right side column (under Oh Joy! elsewhere) when there's a new version of the guide out. You can click on the link to read the guides no matter where you are. The first part (from Philly) is right here...
Love these small bits...shaped animal tags from Linda & Harriet and bookplates from Cabin+Cub...
Just in time for holiday shopping, those of you in NYC can find Nantaka Joy at the Bryant Park Holiday Shops with 7 other gift & jewelry designers from Mixed Co. in shop #C03. The shops open this weekend November 22 and runs through December 28. See more details {and get an early bird discount} right here...
I love to this gorgeous and fun arrangement made by Branch & Small Stump especially for mother's day. The mix of seasonal flowers are arranged in a genuine birch bark tube with a hand-silkscreened pansy puff sachet and message to Mom on the little white cloud of the hand-made mama and baby rabbit tag. All goodies sit on a tray in a bed of fresh wheat grass making for a lovely centerpiece. The San Francisco duo will hand-deliver the arrangements to anywhere in the San Francisco area. Unfortunately for those of us with moms not in San Francisco, we're out of luck...but they are so pretty even from a far.

I've been so crazed lately, I forgot to mention that I have added a new little section to the right side bar called, "Oh Joy! Elsewhere" where you can see home decor selections from my Philadelphia Inquirer column (updated every Friday) as well as shopping picks from Outblush (updated daily) where I am a contributor. I've got some fun holiday decor and stocking stuffer gift guides coming up in LifeStyle so check the side bar regularly for new pieces! Here's one of my favorite recent stories...all about cozy things for winter...
The folks at Tiny Prints are willing to donate up to $50,000 to a few great charities. All you have to do is choose which charity you would like $0.10 donated to. There's no purchase necessary at all just click and choose one...click here to help benefit either the Starlight Starbright Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, or Big Brothers Big Sisters.
For some reason, I'm obsessed with little wooden figures lately. These animal puzzles are super cute...and would make the sweetest stocking stuffers for the little ones (and big ones) alike...
I'm loving these crafty & colorful holiday gems over at Free People...
I can't believe it's November already. With November comes holiday thoughts, plans, and gift-giving brainstorming.

All ornaments are handmade and to be sent to 8-10 other people. Sign-ups are only until November 9th, so click here or here for more info.
Also, Emily from Evlove is having a "Give What You Want" swap. Come up with a package of stuff you'd like to get this holiday season, and send it to someone else. Click here to sign up by November 18th.
