Handpainted and Fabulous!

Looking for the perfect birthday or bachelorette gift?! Search no more!!

I recently came across a wonderful website: J Bee Designs. Jennie is based in Florida and offers us an entire line of unique, hand painted glassware. Her designs are fun and each item is signed and copyrighted. The colors are pleasing to the eye and unique in that Jennie mixes them herself. J. Bee Designs is wonderful to work with and will even change the colors of any design to match your home. Finally, all the designs can be put on any type of glass so whether you are a wine lady, a martini girl or a southern iced tea lover there is something for you!

For all of those that love blue and white and toile (such a perfect combination) or a simple monogram this is for you! The toile glasses are a mere $12.50 while the delightful monogram martini is just $12!

Aren't these plates just darling? I think the polka dot plate would be perfect for any mini Miss and the Eiffel Tower plate made me think of Belle of the Ball. Head on over to J Bee to check out the selection of plates she offers. Every kitchen can use a little splash of color and if you are like me you might even consider hanging your new purchases on the wall!

The holidays are right around the corner ladies! Halloween is now just weeks away and Christmas is about to creep up on us. I think every holiday party is more fun with a little flair, don't you? These martini glasses would really make a statement. You could have them out with candy, nuts or even dips or could use them to serve your Boo Punch or Merry Martini! Both are just $7 a glass and are sure to make you party the talk of the town!
While everything at J. Bee Designs is simply darling I think I have saved the BEST for last! Jennie has an entire section dedicated to preppiness; how perfect! The Preppy Design section and many p&g items are heavy on the pink and green, but easy on your credit card; even more perfect!
Damask plate ($8)and preppy stripe ($12) plates are stunning! Now wouldn't these looking darling in your kitchen or even your bath?! They would also be perfect for that decadent dessert you have been meaning to whip up!
Every house should have fresh flowers a few weeks out of the year. For $15 this would be a lovely gift to bring by to welcome preppy friend's new baby or sick Bitsy. If you are throwing a small fete you could even order several to use on the tables. I think a selection of white flowers would look lovely in this hand painted, polka dot vase adorned with ribbon.
Preppy stripe glasses come in either stemless or a balloon wine glass. For $12.50 each you could even get a set of both. Once you decide which you prefer, gift the other and make someone's day!


A houndstooth iced tea glass or zebra wine glass for $7, yes please! What about getting wild with your pink and green? I think these would be great at a girls' weekend or for an afternoon luncheon.
Have stripes ($7) and polka dots ($7.50) ever looked so cute? I just love that the bottoms of these glasses are all decked out and that ribbon is a delightful touch too!

Can't you just see yourself serving iced tea and lemonade out of the darling pitcher? Such a steal for $30!
What is your favorite fine at J. Bee Designs?
Head on over and stock up now! Mother, sister-in-law and preppy coworker are bound to love any of these unique finds as will your kitchen cabinets and your guests. Your wallet will not even have to suffer if you keep it at one set. Enjoy!!!
