Etsy Recycled....

here are a few of my favorite etsy sellers who are doing their part in being 'green' and making beautiful items along the way.....

Recycled 

1,2,3,4 you can find here. I swear I could use on of these in every room of our house!

5,6,7,8 you can find here. Oh how I love boats and think the use of old sails are brilliant!

9,10,11,12 you can find here . Being married to an ex-skateboarder...there might be a few purchase from this shop in the near future!

Believe....

I would be lying if I said the state of economy and being laid off from a job hasn't taken a bit of a toll on me. Even from a company that you weren't so happy at it...still doesn't make one feel all warm and cozy inside.

A few weeks back I was posting some pics on Flickr and I saw one of my favorite artist/graphic designer Valentina posted a new print...and I thought 'I really need that'. I bought it right at that moment and now I have this to make me smile everyday...

Believe_In_Yourself 

It was a wonderful reminder for all of us that this time is just temporary and not to let others decide your future for you. She has other fabulous prints in here Etsy Shop . Here are a few of her other pieces...enjoy!

Pleasant Surprise

Good Morning!

Last week I had such a pleasant surprise. Got my coffee, sat down at the computer, pulled up Etsy and there was Tindersticks on the front page! The very talented Lucie from 3dots was kind enough to include me in her brown theme with a group of other amazing Etsians.

It was such a compliment because I have been drooling over Lucie's pieces for awhile now. I love the use of wood in modern shapes with a touch of color. Here is just a sample of some of my favorites....

3dots 

1.) Tall Inukshuk 2.) Bubblicious 3.) Boat Yellow

Finally Fabric

It has been awhile...who knew planning an out of state wedding and looking for a job at the same time would be so time consuming. They are two tasks that are at complete opposite ends of the fun spectrum I tell you. While I won't bore you with the job search details, I will say the wedding stuff has actually been enjoyable. I could not have a better partner in crime than Chris. I am huge believer that when it is right, it's right. Because of this we have had a lot of fun (especially with the wine tasting but we won't go into that...) and soon the big day will be here and we just hope that everyone has a good time. Whew-hew!

So I know I have mentioned fabric here a few times and I will FINALLY have some in my Etsy shop! About time. I am really excited about them and hope you are too. I will be selling them in fat quarters, but if anyone would like a yard, please let me know. So here is the sneak peak...

So excited to finally get these pieces in the shop. I have been working on these for awhile and it's nice to have them finished! I am happier than I thought I was going to be with the results and hope you do to!
