Shopgirl: November Picks

Where exactly did October go? And for that matter, where is November going? Before we go full Yuletide in just a few weeks, we're keeping the moody spirit of the fall season for a little while longer. 

Lately Sarah has been wearing one of my favorite jewelry motifs, the serpent. I love the Yayoi Forest Serpentine Necklace particularly for its coiled form and twinkling diamond eye. It can also be layered with something more delicate like the Chained To My Heart for an unexpected balance.

And almost all of us Catbirdettes have a few of these mini velvet pumpkins sprinkled around our homes. They serve no functional purpose but are entirely delightful in a sort of dark-oddity way that makes me think Tim Burton might own a few. Each is unique, with real pumpkin and squash stems. 

Of course, these pumpkins do best in a Tarot Deck scented environment.

Things I love: Meaghan

Meaghan (aka MER) is a seasoned catbirdette – she knows all the secret inner workings of the nest and makes sure things run smoothly around here. She's a bird that'll ease your stress and make you happy every time you see her.  When she's not working her magic, you'll find her at a show practically every day of the week or throwing a themed party with her big loving family.  Here are a few things she loves:

• Six little munchkins who call me auntie Meg

• A hand written note

• Mixing metals and textures and stacking my paws with Catbird, Satomi, Bittersweets, and Blanca rings

• Rodin Olio Lusso face oil and perfume – if I could bathe in these products I would

• Few things get my heart going like seeing concerts... my happy place

• Pizza, I'd travel anywhere for a good slice of za

• My new Chained to My Heart earrings, perfectly paired with everything 

• My big red scarf

• Anything comfy and cozy; big sweaters, long johns, a soft tee

• A good vinyl on a lazy sunday 

• Family, friends, and my boy clancy <3

Things I love: Rosie

Rosie, our sweet Australian transplant has curated the most dreamy selection of things she loves.  When she's not smiling in the shop wrapped in her custom suede shawl, you can find her writing or cutting a rug (we hear she won a dance-off in Australia once. We're talking two people, one winner).  Here are a few things she loves: 

• Jane Birkin, the ultimate
• Oils for all occasions — for your hair, face, fragrance and body
• Stacks for your earholes – Claire Kinder's seamless hoops in gold (available in store), a rose gold ear cuff, and a single 2mm Chained to My Heart earring
• Sleeping beside my tarot deck and matching candle
• Everything about the nineties, especially kate and johnny
• Dreamy dreamcatchers, for ensnaring all evils 
• The beaches back home
• Lucas' Papaw Ointment, my saving grace

What We're Giving: Rosie

I selfishly hope that the Rosie is my Secret Santa at our Catbird Holiday party because as you can see, this lovely bird certainly knows how to give an especially sparkly gift. ;)

1. My mum loves simplicity. This Plain Gold Chain, $132, is the perfect addition to her entire wardrobe.

2. My sister, Ella, loves quirky jewelry like this dainty little Pinky Club Ring, $175. And I love the idea of inscribing it with something personal.

3. My best friend, Sophia and I had our second piercing done together in Paris last year. One of these Chained to My Heart Earrings, starting at $140, would be perfect for her second ear piercing! Plus, diamond is her birthstone.

4. My best friend's name is Kitty and she likes to pile on delicate, interesting rings. She would especially love that this ring is handmade, making each one unique. Bittersweets NY Cat Ring, $150.

I plan to take a note from Rosie this year and make each of my family members blush over their gorgeous gifts!! Stay tuned to see what the rest of our birds are giving! If you're looking for other gift ideas check out What To Give! xx coco
