Boygirlparty makes pretty adorable stuff, and this guy has been on my wishlist for awhile,

baker!

I love this print, by Staslab, I think it'd be perfect for the kitchen,

or this one, by queensspoof:

etsy want!

I saw this on etsy's front page tonight and fell in love. I would buy it if I didn't think that packing one more thing before we move would make my brain burst.

Etsy Highlight: lee meszaros

An adorable Etsy shop, Lee Meszaros, that took an amazing idea and ran with it. Who says you are ever too old for merit badges?!

Some of my favorites:

For being a smitten kitten

 For dancing to the beat of your own drum

Card Line...

I haven't reconciled the idea of selling any of my art as prints. But today I toyed around with the idea of attaching artwork to cards. I obviously won't get this out in time for father's day, but an idea for the future...

Fashions Wants & Needs

I am totally guilty of fulfilling my fashion desires in my Etsy shop. Between my health problems and poor eating choices, I am no where near the tiny size I wish I was to pull off some of the cute fashion I want to. So instead, when I see something I wish I could wear I pick it up and post it in the store. Sort of in hopes, that someone else will enjoy it.


These 80's leather pencil skirts are something that totally fall into that category. I would love to wear this with some cute sandals:

Plushies

I think there is still a seven year old part of me that yearns for stuffed animals. Etsy has allowed me to continue my love and make them "hip/indie" by calling them "Plushies" Whatever we call them, I don't care, because they are adorable.

I wish I wasn't in the process of saving like crazy for a car, because these would need to come live with me!

Wyatt the Chihuahua, and Chives the Doxie are made by A Nichelle Designs

Recycled Bags

Whenever I go thrifting I always notice that there are some amazing prints on the fabric of vintage clothing. I've always toyed with the idea of purchasing some of it and recycling it into something new. I poked around on Etsy and found a few sellers who were doing the same:

(Etsy Sellers in number order: Acajou, WoolyBison, MyGreenMonkeyDesigns, Uzura, SewMuchStyle, YaheesPlace)

Clean House!

Over the last couple days I've slowly been reorganizing all my stuff for my Etsy shop. The amount of stuff you acquire when running a shop is intense.

The first wise investment I made required a trip to my least favorite place in the world (Walmart) to get the garment rack. I attempted to use a single garment rack from Target, but that lasted about two whole days before it collapsed over (Terrifying one of the cats) It was my first "real" investment in running the shop ("Real" equaling about $60-80 if I remember correctly, I can't find it on the website) Underneath the garments are wash bins made storage boxes, which I keep my accessories for photographs, shipping supplies (Scale, tape, etc), and a few purses I have for sale at the shop right now.

The shelf is in there, despite it not actually having anything on it for the shop. ha! I'm just excited I finally organized it. It holds all my art/design supplies--- everything from magazines to acrylic paints. 

In the coming weeks I'll give you a 360 degree tour!

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this on the front page of etsy today, but I'm in love!

Hello Spring

I've updated the blog to give it more of a "Spring look." Something bright and airy for the warm weather.


Spring marks the beginning on the "birthday" months of my friends/family. I usually find gifts by looking on Etsy and following favorites and newly listed items until I find something that insantly makes me think of someone. It may not be the fastest way to accomplish it, but I love it, it's online window shopping!

Today's treasure is this handmade kit by AmyGaines. Make your own Matryoshka Roly-Poly Dolls. Perfect for your crafty friend or sibling...
