Rose Golden Girls

//source//

Hello friends, 

In the past, I've done a couple of these color themed posts (yellow & white) and you guys seemed to really like them. This week, I wanted to share a color with you that I've been completely obsessed with recently. Rose gold seems to be the hot color right now, and especially as we roll into spring in the next few months! This color just looks so stunning on EVERYONE of all shades of beautiful! For my birthday, I even received a gorgeous rose gold computer case from my awesome dad. I've loving the use of it on the home fixtures in the photos here below. Since Bry and I have been talking about moving, I've been thinking about decorating a lot more. I'm also wondering if that hair color is close enough to a 'natural' color to where I could get away with it at work...probably not.

Have you guys been gushing over any trendy colors lately?

Art Appreciation no.4

//source//

Hello friends, 

I'm back again with another round up of awesome art to share with you guys. If you've been following along now for a while, or know me personally; you'll know that my life revolves around the concept of art and everything that it encompasses. This week I wanted to share fun, light, breezy and colorful art. I've been on my traditional, annual pastel color kick now that we're reaching the latter end of the winter season. Come January, I always start gravitating towards brighter, happier colors in hopes that spring will come sooner...it never does. But, I pretend it does. 

Images of fluffy animals and flowers always make me happy. And, I hope they make you feel the same. Follow the links below each illustration to check out the artist and find more amazing art. Hopefully, you'll all enjoy the magic in the post! Have you recently come across an artist you like? Share with me down in the comments!! 

xoxo. Holly Erinn

weekly update no.1

Hello friends, 

Well, it's Monday. And, it's the perfect day to start a new Happinessbrand tradition. Let me introduce the new weekly segment here on the blog, 'weekly update'. A fun little post recapping the week prior mostly in photos. This past week was full of celebration, holiday cheer, family and friends! It also included my 27th birthday in which I celebrated with a trip to the movies with dad and Bryan, and by buying myself a spiffy new computer (dad bought me a sparkly new case too!). So if you ask me, it was a pretty spectacular week! A super stellar way to start the new year. 

There were fancy new bracelets and nails, doodles of cake, and and healthy new snacks! My fingers have been busy stitching tiny doll friends to add to the shop, and I even sent out a few custom ones. Our little has been busy playing with all his new toys from Christmas. His father bought him a 'marble run' and they spent the majority of New Year's Day building it and giggling as they watched the marbles travel through their crazy creation. Little man has also been learning the value of money, how to save, and how to count it properly. The three of us had a lovely lunch earlier the same day at Panera; thanks to an awesome gift card from my father. I do love a good gift card! 

Over all it was a pretty good week! What did you guys do last week??

Sunday Shop Update

Hello friends, 

Just wanted to pop in and share a few new things that have recently gone up into the shop this month. Two new original paintings are up for grabs, for a reasonable price at that ($30 +shipping)!! You can check out "Star child" her sister "Moon child" in the shop now! These are not prints my friends, they are the original painting- no other replications will be made...these are one of a kind!

Welcome Back to the Blogosphere!

Hello friends, 

It's been quite some time since I wrote on here! My computer got fried in a rain storm a few months ago, and I was never able to fix it. I recently celebrated my birthday on the 30th, and my present to myself was a brand new computer. I've just been dying to get back to writing and get back to you guys. Life just isn't the same without the Happinessbrand blog!!! I'm just so happy to be getting back in the swing of things! 

The past few months have been kind of nuts. I got a new job, been hella busy with that. The hours I work are kinda random. But, I really do love it. It's an excellent gig. It allows me the time to work on other things, and still get my creative vibes out there. In between the hours at my "big girl job" and the rest of life, I have been working on tons of art, and even started making dolls. I made one in the fall for my gorgeous niece Alice, and she loves it; so I figured some other little kiddos might love them too. I haven't put any up in the shop yet. They're still in the process of being made. So far, so good though- they're turning out adorably! 

Below are a few photos of the dolls in progress, and a few of the most recent pieces of art that I've either been working on or ones that are already up in the shop! The very last photo in the set is of myself in a stunning necklace from Mirina Collections. I recently paired up with this amazing family-run business as a partner in their brand ambassador program. You can save 20% off their famous collection necklaces with my code: "holly20xo". You should definitely check out there jewelry, its so amazingly well made and truly worth the price (especially with my awesome coupon code!!!). I'm madly in love with my "Nura" necklace, I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments I get on that monster when I where it out!! 

Well friends, get ready for some amazing new content on the blog for this beautiful new 2016 year!! I can't wait to share the coming months with all of you. 

How did you wrap up 2015, did you blog about it, share it on social media? Share you links down in the comments. I want to get back in touch with all you beauties!! 

xoxo. Holly Erinn
