Treat Bags!
I always make it a point to give little treat bags to my loves. I feel like showing appreciation to those who make effort to celebrate me deserve some handmade goodies. This year I went for some delicious snacks. It's pretty simple! Muddy Buddies, clear treat bags, manila tags, twine, glitter/washi tape, and a cute stamp! I also wrote personal notes on the back of the manila tags. It's that easy and your guests will feel so loved too!
Muddy Buddies (Vegan Recipe):
9 cups Corn Chex® and Rice Chex® cereal (I mixed in both)
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (I used Trader Joe's brand)
1/2 cup natural butter
1/4 cup vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated (my fav part!). Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
And that's it! This would be a great idea to give away for the holidays too! ♥ Made with Love ♥ Just try it and it will bring many many smiles!

♥ NEW to The Fancy Affair! ♥
Upper Metal Class is
defined as a minimalist cool with a hint of light hearted fun. It’s
subtle yet makes a big statement of less is more with a sense of
confidence. The jewelry line was developed upon simple designs to become
part of the wardrobes basically cool everyday go to pieces. The
inspiration comes from architecture, construction, math, science, and
the natural life all around us. They are the strong sleek lines + curves
in buildings, imperfect yet beautiful cracks in sidewalks, cool shapes
in objects and the unbelievable patterns formed by nature. All these
things including the connection between people are what influences and
gives meaning to each carefully handcrafted design. ALL HANDMADE IN U.S.A. Los Angeles - California

♥ New to The Fancy Affair! ♥
We are excited to introduce Jené DeSpain Jewelry to The Fancy Affair!
Growing up
in the creative environment of Portland, Oregon, Jené DeSpain began
shaping her sense of style as a young girl. The daughter of a craftsman
and an artist, her understanding of design and construction was strongly
encouraged. Working next to her father in his woodshop honed her love
for tools, while sketching with her mother developed her visual
aesthetic. Jené moved to NYC in 1997 to enrich her artistic, urban
lifestyle and worked many years as a fashion photographer, deepening her
admiration for the many fine professionals and artists who work in the
fashion industry. Drawn to a number of mediums to express her interest
in raw material, tangible artifact, and multifaceted design, she
eventually discovered a new satisfaction in jewelry design.
Completely
self-taught, Jené DeSpain launched her first jewelry collection in
early 2010, at the dawn of our new decade. Its immediate success led to a
fast-growing, loyal clientele, and her jewelry is now carried by fine
retailers in multiple cities worldwide. Working in her Brooklyn studio,
Jené personally crafts each piece of jewelry by hand with a dedication
to quality from materials made entirely within the United States.
With
each collection, Jené broadens her exploration of design and her
devotion to creating striking pieces of jewelry outside the confines of
momentary trends. Cultivating a constantly evolving community of fellow
designers, artists, musicians, stylists, and patrons of her work, is
Jené’s greatest source of inspiration. Her collaboration with the
expanse of talent in NYC and beyond connects Jené to the pulse of
fashion while she creates bold, distinct jewelry for those who respond
to innovative design. This love of culture is revealed in each piece of
her jewelry and remains at the heart of her brand.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime: therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate contest of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love.

♫ Music Monday ♫
I was in Montreal over Labor Day weekend and some brave soul sang this song at a karaoke bar.
Genius song choice! Every single person in the bar was singing along. Everyone! Early 90s - we love you!
