One of my favorite things about Etsy, actually maybe my favorite thing, is that no matter how much time I spend trolling it’s pages for handmade gold I’m always finding new and beautiful little shops. Thankfully there are lots of other eyes and blog friends exploring and posting about new finds. Just a few days ago [...]
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe that the weekend is almost over! Friday night we went out for a little sushi and shopping. Saturday we drove all the way down to southern Illinois for a friend’s wedding. It was lovely and absolutely wonderful to get to spend an evening with our old college pals, but [...]
Today I’m back to the ol’ office, coffee in hand and a small pile of data entry work in front of me. It’s not very exciting, but it’s kind of a nice way to ease back into the daily grind after four awesome days off. Lately Joel and I have been talking about some exciting [...]
Almost as soon as I discovered Etsy I discovered Hijirik Studio and right away fell in love with the Live What You Love Prints. I love this phrase and I don’t mind claiming it as my mantra. So when I saw the beautiful way that Hijirik, the talented lady behind the press, presents it in letterpress [...]
Sophi Flo, of Jesophi, has not one but two amazingly beautiful stores. Her Etsy shop is full of amazing little treasures and her Big Cartel store has the prettiest of natural jewelry! I especially love her Big Cartel store maybe because my dad is a geologist. Once when I was little he brought home a [...]
Corrie is one busy lady and she still finds time to make the sweetest things! Her whole shop is darling, but I especially love the textile necklaces! Each piece is one of a kind (or just a few of a kind) and handmade using a wonderful mix of vintage, reclaimed and newer materials. I’m so [...]
I have to laugh every time I look back over my Etsy favorites. It always seems like I go through color phases. There will be a cluster of greens followed by blue, or something like that. Right now my most recent favorites are all white with little hints of blue. I kind of love how [...]
I was still feeling pretty under the weather all weekend – no fun!- but it did give me a chance to find lots of pretty things to show you today! Starting with these beautiful address stamps from Primele on Etsy. I use stamps all the time at work, but none are as pretty these!
As soon as I saw the beautiful Etsy shop, Feather Children I knew there must be a super talented lady (her name is Tansie) running the show! I sent Tansie a little note and I was thrilled when she wrote back. And now I’m so happy to share some of her lovely work with you! [...]
I’ve been a little under the weather for the last few days, which of course is no fun. So I’m cheering myself up with happy thoughts and drinking tea and re-watching favorite movies. Today I went through some of my old bookmarks and found this pretty photo. I think it looks like a perfect afternoon! [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
