So Many Wonderful Things
Each Gotta Have It/Gotta Blog It Link Up Party brings so many nice people to Mercantile Muse. It also proves that there is a neverending wealth of talent, taste and tales among the party goers.
Oh the wonderful handmade things! Oh the vintage wares! Oh the fun at guest's blogs. So much to discover and share.
Here's my picks from our current Gotta Have It/Gotta Blog It Link Up Party which is still underway.
Who knew we had stars among us? OK, not quite, but we have people with the same taste as stars. Doesn't that count?
A lovely gold edged serving Fire King serving dish from Belle Masion Et Moi.
The funny thing is, I had to let Alicia know that I'd seen this lovely dish somewhere else- on Inventori, Tori Spelling's store!
The difference, Inventori's dish was over $40 and bellemaisonsetmoi's is a mere $12.50. Talk about a steal of a deal!
I'd never heard of prehnite before, until I found these lovely pale earrings in SigalFJewelry's shop.
Prehnite is part of the largest and most important class of rock-forming minerals. It is also said to have the following qualities:
*Very relaxing. Increases reliability, honesty and integrity.
*Allows visions during meditation, strengthens predictive power.
*Provides high spiritual protection.
*Good for treatments of kidney, bladder and anemia.

Who knew? All I know is its soft, dreamy, cloudy pale color is absolutely beautiful.
The opposite of pale and dreamy is this bright, bold, striking sapphire blue pendant from Mt. Baldy Glassworks.
The embodiment of a deep, dark, starry night.
I just love that Sharon's blog 'Diary of a Craft Room Transformation' grew out of a mission to organize her craftroom.
Three year's later and Sharon's still blogging!
Still need a Valentine's Day gift for your guy? Check out this creative photo display by DabbledDetails for the fisherman in your life.
All I know is that I have plenty of pics that could go on this display, and that they're all from too long ago. It's probably at least 4 years since I cast a line, and that's just not right. It's hard to believe it's been that long. I used to be quite the bassmaster. We even lived in a little cottage on the river when we first got married and I used to be able to cast a line right from our deck!
Lovin' these groovalicius placemats joeymiller. The fabric is the bomb!
Love the flowers, the colors and that you can turn them over for a pop of orange.
Check out this sweet lavender sachet from Paula Parrish. She's nice enough to share a tutorial over on her blog Living A Blessed Life.
I think the chenille backside is the sweetest touch.
I could rock these uuber cute and retro-preppy vintage lecoq sportif running shoes from LaModeDeKika.
If only my foot was a little smaller.
Last, but not least, a big thank you to Lisa at WritingPlaces for always creating such wonderful treasuries to promote the link up party and the shops that take part. What a nice thing to do! Don't you think? You can see Lisa's awesome promotion treasuries for the link party here and here.
When Lisa isn't busy spreading the word about link party shops, she is busy creating things for WritingPlaces, like this charming favor box.

More Fun
Did you see the new giveaway on Mercantile Muse? What? You missed it? Well, here's a link. It's easy to enter and remember, someone has to win and it might just be you!
Less fun was watching the SuperBowl last night. It was painful game in general and the Pats lost by three, making it even more painful. Life goes on. The sun is shining on this Monday despite the loss. I hope it is where you are too.
Ciao for now,
