Small Shop Saturday: Seam Boat Willie Festival of the Arts Collection 🎨

Happy Saturday Everyone!  

Today I'm bringing back another blog segment.  It's been forever since I've done a Small Shop Saturday post.  These complication posts can take so much time between finding the products, writing and adding links to everything... but it's so satisfying once it's finished!  However, instead of doing the giant Valentine's Day drop with multiple shops that I was originally planning on doing, I've decided to focus on one small shop and the collection they just had available to order.

I've been following Seam Boat Willie for a few years now.  Casey and Chris make the most amazing jewelry in small batches.  They 3D model and cast their pieces in sterling silver at their studio in Utah.  Most of their products are released as part of a small themed collection.  Then the jewelry is made to order and will ship in a few weeks.

I'm so excited that I just placed my first order a few days ago!  I've been waiting very patiently for the Festival of the Arts collection to make it's return.  After two years, it was finally back and I knew I had to grab a few pieces!  Art and jewelry are both so special to me... so I knew I had to order a few special pieces while they were available!

Let's take a look at the Seam Boat Willie Festival of the Arts collection!

First up, we have these Festival of the Arts charms... I love all of them and how well they coordinate with each other!!!  And look at those details!!! 🌐🌈💡🎨🖌️

Returning this year were the 1982 Necklaces textured like our Spaceship Earth.  I love these and how simple they are... only a Disney fan would immediately spot it. 🌐

The 1982 Ring also made it's return and I had to get one! 🌐

The Fig Necklace is modeled after our favorite purple pigmented dragon Figment!  The details on this design are absolutely insane... it's incredible! 💡

There's also Fig Ring for people who want to carry one little spark everywhere. 💡

There's an Imagination Necklace for those of us hoping to light that little spark! 🌈

Here's the Paint Palette Necklace that I've been dreaming about for over two years! 🎨 And I'm not joking... I totally kicked myself when I missed this last time around.  I'm obsessed with Mickey paint palettes and this is something I would wear all the time.  (Thankfully, this time I bought it, and it will be on it's way home to be with me soon!)

Naturally, I also had to have a Paintbrush Necklace to go with my paint palette! 🖌️

This Paintbrush Ring also needed a loving home... so I was happy to provide it one! 🖌️ But in all seriousness, this was another design I was kicking myself over not getting last time.  I love this ring and I'm obsessed with how it swirls around your finger.

And that's all for the Festival of the Arts collection for this year!  Unfortunately, it's been another rough week... so by the time this is posting, the collection will have returned to the vault.  But there's so much more!  If art isn't your thing, Seam Boat Willie also makes jewelry for Disney foods, Star Wars and they have a huge Halloween collection!

If you're interested in following Seam Boat Willie, check out their website, or follow them on their Facebook page or Instagram.  I love to watch their stories to see what they're working on behind the scenes and how the jewelry is made.  It's so fascinating to me!

I cannot wait for my jewelry to arrive!  I've wanted these for so long and I'm so excited about adding these special pieces to my collection!  I'm a little sad that they didn't have the Mickey paint palette ring again this drop, but I'm hopeful that I'll have one someday!  In the meantime, I'll definitely be cherishing these special pieces!  °o°

Magical Merchandise: Bradford Exchange Disney 100 Collection

Happy Monday!!!  Whew this month is flying right by isn't it?  It's hard to believe that it is already time for another Magical Merchandise Monday!  Today, I'm continuing my Disney 100 theme for the month of March.  Last week I focused on clothing, so we are switching back to focusing on home decor and something new for our latest edition!

In this post, I'm highlighting one collection like I did for my Hallmark collection entry a couple of weeks ago.  The Bradford Exchange is known for their quality collectibles and they usually make products for major events like the Super Bowl.  I don't know why I didn't expect them to make a Disney 100 collection, but when I discovered it a few weeks ago (while mindlessly scrolling online) I was surprised and couldn't wait to see what they made.  So let's check everything out!

Coin collecting has been popular forever, so naturally they have a special Disney 100 Years of Wonder Coin that you can display for the celebration.

I really love this Disney 100 Years of Wonder Commemorative Clock.  The details on it are amazing and I love all of the characters in it.  Plus it looks shiny and sparkly!

Another shiny thing that caught my eye was the Disney 100 Laser-Etched Globe with Color-Changing Lights.  The LED lights change and it looks like it's so much fun!

If you're looking for something to tuck in with your other treasures, this Disney 100 Years of Wonder Hand-Painted Sculpture would be perfect.  I love the 3D Mickey, Minnie and Pluto with the silhouettes of other Disney characters across the bottom.  

Speaking of characters, we're going to be switching gears a little bit to something else with a lot of character!  One of my favorite things that the Bradford Exchange makes is their jewelry.  They have quite a large selection of it, and I was pleased that they have some for the Disney 100.  First, we have this Disney 100 Bangle Bracelet with Stamp Art From Movie Scenes.  I love how there are so many movies represented on it!

The Disney 100 Platinum Celebration Crystal Heart Necklace reminds me of the Disney Crystal Heart necklace my parents bought me from the Bradford Exchange a few years ago as a birthday gift.  I love how it has all of the characters on it!

If you like that design, you'll also like the Disney 100 Platinum Celebration Cuff Bracelet with Crystals.  This also has a ton of Disney characters on it!

As you guys know, I love anything sparkly or shiny and this Disney 100 Celebration Ring Featuring a 100 Facet Crystal looks like it definitely fits that description!  Wow!

But I think my favorite jewelry piece from the collection is actually the Disney 100 Mickey Mouse Infinity Pendant Necklace.  I absolutely love how it has Mickey on it!

The Disney 100 Mickey Mouse Ring with Over 20 Crystal Accents matches the necklace perfectly and it also caught my eye.  (Mentally taking notes down for Santa!) 

I have to switch back to home decor for our last item in today's post since I saved the best for last!  The Disney 100 Celebration Glitter Globe With Color Changing LEDs is my favorite piece in the entire collection.  I am obsessed with how the bottom part looks like it's made of a faceted crystal.  I also love the swirl around it and how Mickey is inside the snow globe part.  I feel like this needs to live on my desk as a reminder of the 100th anniversary of my favorite company!

I hope you enjoyed this collection of merchandise from the Bradford Exchange!  I am interested in seeing if they'll add anything else since many retailers are adding more items as the celebration continues throughout the year!  But in the meantime, check back next week for my last Disney 100 merchandise post of March!  °o°

Magical Merchandise: Baublebar Disney Christmas 2022

Ok, so it's technically still spooky season but I think it's time to switch gears a little bit because today there are exactly two months until Christmas Eve!  I've been holding off on posting Christmas merchandise so far, but since I've been doing spooky season since August, I thought it was time to move on.  I've done a few humongous Halloween merchandise posts, and I don't think there's anything else I could show you anyways!

However, stores are starting to get their Christmas items out... and a few online stores have also released their Christmas collections!  So it's time to dive in to the holly jolly!

Today, we're taking a peek at the 2022 Baublebar Disney Christmas Collection that was released back on Friday October 14th.  These items literally took my breath away, and I don't know how I'll ever pick only a few!  Let's check them out!

First we have these adorable Mickey Mouse Mistletoe and Santa stud earrings.  I've always loved the Mickey mistletoe design and these are really cute!

The Mickey Christmas Tree stud earrings are also a small design that packs a punch!

I'm head over heels for these Mickey Wreath earrings.  They're so pretty!!!

I love this year's version of the Christmas Tree earrings.  They're really sparkly!

If you want something a little less in your face, but still Disney, these Wreath earrings have hidden Mickeys throughout them.  Fun and magical... yet a bit more subtle.

I love how these Merry & Bright Ornament earrings are more simple and elegant.

I love the earring sets, and this Tis the Season Disney Set is a really cute one!

These Mickey Snowflake earrings are one of my top favorites in the collection!  They are so beautiful and I love the blue and purple tones!

I'm so glad that they brought the Holiday Traditions earring set back this year!

This Minnie Mouse and Ornament Set is also really cute.

These Deck the Halls Minnie Mouse earrings are sure to sparkle!

This year's version of the Mickey Nutcracker is gold tone and more elegant.

My absolute favorite new design this year is the Mickey Mouse Let There Be Light hoop earrings.  Hoops are all the rage, and I'm obsessed with Christmas lights!!!

The final piece of jewelry from the 2022 collection is this new Frozen earring set.  I think it's absolutely perfect for the holidays, winter, or a day at the parks!

The latest trend are the Mickey bag charms.  Baublebar has been making them for a little while now, but this is the first time they've have them for the holiday season!  After the two new Halloween designs, I suspected we'd have at least two new designs for Christmas... but I never dreamed that they'd come out with five new ones!  

My absolute favorite is the Santa Mickey charm.  He was teased a few weeks before the release and I was stalking my email to see when they would finally drop.  He's so cute and definitely on my must get list!  He's perfect for Christmas!!!

I also like the Christmas Tree Mickey charm.  He's the other one they teased.

I was so surprised to see the Candy Cane Mickey charm!  This is another one that I absolutely love.  It would look great on all of my peppermint and gingerbread bags too!

The little Reindeer Mickey is super adorable.  He's currently sold out, but you can sign up for him on the waitlist like I have to be notified when he's back in stock!

Finally, Nutcracker Mickey is the last new design.  He's also currently on the waitlist!

And that's the Disney Holiday Collection from Baublebar's website, but they also have some items available at other retailers like Shop Disney, so keep your eyes peeled!

Aren't all of these absolutely stunning?!?!  I usually hold myself to only getting two pairs of earrings each release, but I'm not sure how I'll ever hold back on all of these designs.  (Maybe I can forgive myself since I didn't buy any Halloween earrings this year?)  I'm not sure what I'll be adding to my collection, but you can be sure that my ears will be sparkling with at least one of these beauties this holiday season!  °o°

Magical Merchandise: Baublebar Disney Halloween 2022

Spooky time is officially here... even though its August.  Disney has already had their first Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom.  Merchandise is popping up all over the place and I'm just declaring it spooky season.  Thus, we are moving into spooky editions of Magical Merchandise Monday each week!

Today, we're taking a look at one of the newest product drops.  Baublebar just dropped their 2022 Disney Halloween collection back on August 8th.  Most of the collection immediately sold out in the first few hours, but they have a waitlist and they will restock!  (I learned that last year when the earrings I wanted "sold out" a few times.) 

I absolutely love this collection and how they added so many more items than they had last year!  So let's take a look at what thrills and chills are available for spooky season!

These adorable little Get Spooked BFF Disney Earrings are sure to put a smile on your face!  They can be worn as multiple piercings on one ear or separately on each ear!  

I really love these Mickey Mouse Disney Jack-O-Lantern Earrings.  They come in an ombre rhinestone and enamel version.  I'm not sure which version I like more!

These Candy Corn Minnie Mouse earrings were very popular last year so they brought them back.  I own them and I can attest to how adorable they are; I adore them!

I thought these Mickey Mouse Frankie Earrings were another fun rhinestone design!

I thought this Disney Halloween Party Earring Set was a fun option too.  It looks like our friends are dresses as a pirate, witches and a vampire!  These are versatile and tiny just like the mummy earrings and can be worn in a bunch of various ways!

I thought these Mickey Mouse Vampire Earrings were a fun addition to the collection!

I love me some glow-in-the-dark action and these fun Mickey Mouse Glow-in-the-Dark Earrings certainly did not disappoint!  I love how fun and vibrant these are!

These Mickey Pumpkin Earrings are another fun option if you like to stack earrings!

I thought these Mickey Ghost Glow-in-the-Dark Earrings were another fun design!

These Mickey Mouse Ghost Earrings are another fun smaller option.  He's so cute!!!

Finally, the stunners in this collection are certainly the new bag charms.  I have a few of these and I was so excited that they were making holiday versions!  The first one is this Mickey Mouse Bag Charm of a Glow-in-the-Dark Frankie.

My favorite piece in the collection is the Mickey Mouse Halloween Bag Charm.  I think he's absolutely adorable and he'd look so cute hanging on my spooky bags!

Are these adorable?!?  I love how there are so many styles available depending on how big or small you like your earrings.  I hope this means that Baublebar will continue to have a wide selection available each Halloween... and for Christmas as well!  °o°
