Fabulous Friday: Baffin Bags

Posted by: Maggie

A few weeks ago I read a post on Corporette, a blog about fashion for professional women, about business card cases. I had been thinking of buying a new one for a while because the metal case I got engraved with my initials from Things Remembered a few years back had gotten severely scratched and battered from years of floating around in my purse and it just didn’t hold very many cards. The post recommended a variety of lovely cases one of which was from the Baffin Bags shop on Etsy. I much prefer a cloth case to a metal one and since I don’t use leather (vegetarian) the Baffin Bags card holders were a perfect choice. I fell in love with a bunch of different designs, but settled on the one below. They are a fantastic price and shipped right away! I think I got it in less than a week!

I highly recommend you check out their shop on etsy. I’m considering buying a diaper & wipe clutch and crayon roll-up too! Gorgeous stuff! Maybe for Christmas!

Fabulous Friday:
I Heart Headbands!

Posted by: Maggie

For my second new feature on Making Me Cranky, I will be writing about something that I love. Whether it be a product, a small business, my newest hairstyle, or the latest dance craze, as long as it is fabulous and I love it you’ll find it here on Friday! Please feel free to email me with suggestions!

For my very first Fabulous Friday I wanted to feature something that I can’t live without lately: headbands!

Apparently, and I’m sorry to break the news to you if you haven’t already heard, but putting your hair in a pony tail is not the same as taking a shower! I know a lot of moms with young kids out there will be shocked and saddened to hear this. But despite that I have another bit of news. If you throw a cute headband on with your greasy pony tail who cares that you haven’t showered and that no one told you there is dried oatmeal on your arm! Because you look so friggin’ cute!

Here are some of my favorites from my personal collection:

And here are some I found online for those of you with some cash burning a hole in you pocket and a yearning to be too cute for words:

Starting top left going clockwise: Urban Outfitters’ Filigree Leaf Headband $18; Bethany Lorelle’s ANDI Handmade Mix Pluamge Feather Headband @ Etsy $32; Kaang Accessories’ Penelope Eye Peacock Feather Headband @ Etsy $24; Target’s Polka Dot Flower Headband in Gray $7.99

I’d love add each of these to my collection! I do have a birthday coming up in six months (hint, hint readers).

I hope you’ve enjoyed my first ever Fabulous Friday. I can’t wait to bring you more! Remember you can email me with suggestions or if you have a product or a business that you want featured on a future Fabulous Friday!
