A fun and truly artistic book that has provided me with tons of new ideas to start working on in the coming months. Sally Jean pours her heart and soul out in this book which is evident by only flipping through a few pages.

Her instructions are written in detail, offering great photos and a list of supplies needed to get started, in case you don't have them on hand. I guarantee you'll want to keep a pen and paper handy to list everything you need to purchase to get started.

Hands down, this is one of my favorite books of all time.

I have always loved Sally Jean's website, and in fact have made personal jewelry for my sister, best friend and myself using many pieces which I ordered from her. Imagine my delight when I learned she was coming out with her own book! And what a swirl of glitter, enchantment and charm! It is lovely, through and through.

By the way, she likes bunny slippers. That is why I threw that in to my review title!

Now, there is one caveat: you have to be prepared to learn to create a proper collage, plus solder and cut glass properly (nothing a quick course in stained glass making couldn't help you out with, however, but you won't need it--this book explains how very clearly) or this book becomes just a good read. It would be worth it, anyway, just not AS worth it. It would become more like a tour of the magic in Sally Jean's head which is pretty great fun. But it is frankly, a SERIOUS craft book, enrobed within her spectacularly beautiful and sweet outlook on the world and delight in family, the past, old things which nobody wants, which "call out" to be rescued, and a lot of pretty things like German glass glitter, old postcards and things we love to be comforted with and enjoy looking at.

I wanted to make many of her things right away: her crosses, her little french chair, her incredibly chic bottle bangle(WOW! Love it!!!), and her cool flower power pen. I want to have all these things!!! So therefore I will have to make them!

I really liked the way she set up the beginning of this book clearly so you have a grasp of what you need to learn.

I really loved the projects.

I really like her attitude and the look of the book!

A great book! Thanks, Sally Jean!

Sally Jean is amazing. This book is absolutely incredible! It's stuffed full of truly creative art, ideas, techniques, and lots of fun along the way. This is by far the best "craft" book I have ever read. It's more than "crafty" though. She takes you on a tour of her studio and also shares family stories that halp make this book even more special.

Sally shows the reader step-by-step how to create gorgeous, fun, special keepsakes and works of art. You will soon be ordering a soldering iron after you read this book, if you don't already own one!

Prepare to be inspired!

I loved perusing this entire book, Michelle Ward said it all in her review! Being in the midst of writing my own book for North Light, I can only hope that it turns out half as well! While I don't really "know" Sally Jean, I do know that this book is truely a reflection of her...so kudos to the North Light team for capturing her essence on each and every page.

Well I think Michelle Ward summed it up beautifully but I will add my 2 cents.. Pretty Little Things is a sumptuous combination of artistry, inspiration and how to all in one pretty little book... Flipping through those glossy pages not only inspired me to dream up something in my own studio, but I had to run out and get 2 gallons of paint and cover everything in Sally Jean Blue... Bravo!!!
