This little stack is a sampler, she has other gift packages as well that will be PERFECT. http://www.bazilessentials.etsy.com/


The Broken Plate - Find at http://www.thebrokenplate.etsy.com/ Broken plates get a new life as jewelry for your sweetie! Now, instead of WASHING those plates, she can just put on her new ring and GO OUT to dinner!!

Kalivoda - http://www.Kalivoda.etsy.com/ Rome dress -
Before: She found this dress while studying in London last year. The fabric, so soft and lush, plus the main sillhoutte is so pretty, she just had to take it home with her. However, the original hemline left alot to be desired. It hit at the mid calf making it seem dowdy, but it also had this asymmetrical hem that made it seem cheap even though it was well made.
After: To modernize it and make it feel more lux, she decided to erase that old hemline and make it into a mini dress. Now, it's a dress that looks great with heels or flats and can work for day or evening.
An eco-conscious beauty for your babe...if she's just the right size!
