JillyDeesUniques On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide! Review!

I received two different items to review from a shop on etsy by the name of Jilly Dees Uniques

The first item that she sent me to review is the wooden picture frame. I really like how simple this frame is. There isn't a lot going on with this frame, which is great for a few different reasons. This would make an awesome present for pretty much occasion, and this frame could hold any themed picture really. I love the small details she put into this frame, like the adorable denim flower with a pearl in the middle. I really like the green ribbon she chose as well, with the small accent of a burlap string.  She did a really good job with the color scheme with this frame. I think every piece goes really well together, and I would have never guessed that at all!

The back is pretty plain. She didn't add anything, which is fine because this part wont be showing anyways lol. One thing I found kinda odd was there is no back to the frame where you place the picture. I guess this could be good and could be bad at the same time. It's good because it makes for getting the picture in and out super easy and simple. It could be bad because I don't know how well those clips will hold up with lining up the picture correctly in the frame. This frame actually isn't glass covered either. It's a thick plastic, which is perfect for me sense I am a super cluts, I don't have to worry about dropping and breaking this one woohoo! lol

The next item she sent me is this adorable Mickey Mouse hair bow. I am absolutely in love with this one. I have never had a bow that came in this shape before, it looks just like a flower, which is super cute. I love how the fabric isn't to wild and crazy so you could wear this on a lot of different occasions which is really nice as well.

I love the red wooden mickey head she chose to place in the center. This was the perfect addition in my opinion. It add a lot to the bow, but then again not to much either. I like how the red in the mickey head really brings out the red in the fabric. It really makes it pop!

The back is just your normal hair clip, which are my favorite. She even included a small piece of fabric over the clip so you don't have to look at it either. As you can tell from the back it is dont really nicely, and this bow wasn't made sloppy at all. I am impressed.

These gifts would be perfect for really anyone in your family or even some friends. The bow would be perfect for any Disney lover :)

Vintage paper exchange on Zibbet!

I received a few different items from a shop by the name of Vintage paper exchange on Zibbet

The first item that this shop has sent me to review is a picture frame. To be quite honest I am not exactly sure how this was made but in my opinion it looks like the design is made out of tape and she put a top coat of something over top to seal it together, which is really cool. I really like this and I love the design of the frame.

The next set of items that she sent to me is some gift tags. These are adorable, she grouped these in 3 different groups and placed them in small envelopes to match. She sent some Disney ones, Christmas ones, and last but not least a pack that was unmarked for a surprise :)

As you can tell from the picture these are awesome. Each tag contains a ribbon to match the tag which is pretty cool.

The Disney ones are probably my favorite this group contains a tag of Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy.

The Christmas ones are gorgous, and I love the colors that she chose to make these with.

The surprise ones turned out to be Dr Suess ones, these are awesome. They are super colorful and on the back they say Happy Birthday!

Next she sent me 4 different cards that she made with matching envelopes.

This first one is probably my favorite. This card is supposed to be used for a wedding card. The front is gorgeous and has a wedding cake on the front. This card looks really classy and elegant.

These next two cards are really similar. The only thing that is different about these two are the envolopes, this one has Santa on it.

Retails:($2.00)

The envelope on this one is little snowflakes, and its a very nice pattern.

The cards inside of these are  the exact same, they seem to be printed on some type of newspaper print (with small words written all over it) and it says "Joy" in glitter letters. I love the contrast of the background with the big words in the middle, it really makes it stand out.

This card is absolutely adorable is says Sugar and Spice on the envelope. The card inside is a bunch of pies and says "Made with Love" I really like this one as well.

Overall I really enjoyed everything that I received from this shop. All the products are great quality, and the prices are phenomenal. Check out her shop you wont be disappointed!

RonohDesigns on Etsy!

I received a very awesome art print from RonohDesigns on Etsy!

She sent me a very unique print of Ariel!

This print is made entirely of words! I was amazed when I first seen this, just because I've never seen anything like this before.

When I was first browsing her store I didn't really take the time to look at the actual words that were made up of this print. When this print arrived I took a closer look and discovered that this print is made entirely of the lyrics to the song Part Of Your World, which just happens to be my favorite song from the movie. I took the time to look at a few others and they are all the same way, each print is made from song lyrics from the actual movie, which is pretty cool.

She even framed this just for me which is great! I love the black frame it definitely is super bold and make the other colors pop.

I included a few pictures so you can get a closer look on how this actually looks!

Retails:($6.00)

The only con I can possibly think of for this product would have to be that for the skin color of Ariel it is a bit light, and maybe a darker color of paper would have fixed this problem. It's not a huge deal though, its still really cool and I love it!

make sure you check her shop out for other cool art prints :)

SinCityDisplays on Etsy!

 

I received a very unique art piece in the mail from shop by the name of SinCityDisplays   on Etsy!

 

I was browsing their shop and seen that they make Napkin art, which instantly got my attention.

This framed picture is actually a napkin! I received the Ana and Elsa one which is so beautiful. A good piece to add to my insane Disney collection :)

https://www.etsy.com/listing/212919120/disney-frozen-elsa-anna-5x7-authentic?ref=shop_home_active_4

Retails: ($10.99)

You can seen in this picture by the texture that this is a napkin! It totally blew my mind, you cant even tell that this is a napkin unless you are really looking at it! This is definitely one of a kind piece and you cant find these just anywhere and that's for sure. This is a great alternative for art work pieces from your home if your on a budget!

 

The quality of this picture is great! The framing and matteing was done so nicely and the way it was packaged and sent to me was great as well!

 

They have a lot of different pieces that are equally as nice. I suggest you check them out!
