Squeal!

Ek! I love this cute little bunny vase from pretty random objects! Seriously, could this be any more adorable?

felt & fabric bunny pins

My newest creations, intended to add some color to any outfit. I do want to make other animals, but of course the first ones were bunnies since - well - let's face the music on my bunny fixation. Some of the fabric came from my newest obsession: Art Scraps in St. Paul. I &hearts that place. I have some more too but they are awaiting pinbacks to be sewn to them sometime this weekend.

new aceos

"quiet thursday night" - because the best thursday nights are spent drinking cocoa and reading.

"sketch + cafe" - are we sensing a hot drink related theme?

"go fly a kite" - really, go fly one if you can, it always looks like a lot of fun

If I had been a bail-out benefactor...

Then I would make this ensemble mine!!! Still undecided what I would do with the rest of the $27 billion though...

I cannot express my love for this tank. Antifactory probably makes the cutest, most original clothes I have seen on etsy and I would much much rather spend $78 on this than on food. Now if I could only convince hubby on that...

And what would go more beautifully with my new tank than a precious hair clip from RedaretheRoses who makes some of the loveliest little plastic charmed clips and jewelry (clip above is only $12 to boot!)

No outfit is complete without darling shoes and this vintage blue ones are basically perfect - from Solanah, $22

I am so charmed by this little apple clutch and it doesn't require you take out a second mortgage to own it - from kateisgreat80 $35.

If I had $83...

All these etsy lovelies would be mine!

Yes, I love the feather fascinator thing that has popped up recently and I totally need one!! I love this one from topsyturvydesigns, it is different enough to stand out but a deal at $29.

I heart this sweet little mushroom brooch from createitcottage. And another steal for only $16.

This intricate, vintage-y cuff would look great with about 80% of my wardrobe. From peggradyart for $18.

And what would look stellar with all the above? Why this cute vintage dress from reciprocities! I love the buttons and the "U" top stitching detail on the front, $20.

Obama mania!

I won't lie, I am a huge obamaniac and when I saw this awesome lapel pin from DIYorDIE, I totally started coveting it!

If I had $207...

I would be picking up these lovelies from etsy!


I am a journal-aholic and this would fit perfectly with my growing collect. From explorations.etsy.com


I love steam-punk but alas I am not cool enough to pull off the whole ensemble. But this bird brooch from lovelyduck.etsy.com would be a grand little touch.


This tea bowl is perfect in everyway. Perfect color, perfect size, and thin enough to cool down your tea quickly. From fredparkerpottery.etsy.com


What girl doesn't want to feel like a princess every now and then? And with a tiara this pretty, I would just have to wear it everywhere - even grocery shopping. From snakebelt.etsy.com.

front page love & hearts

I have been fortunate enough to see my items pop up on Etsy's front page a couple of times but I always get such an elation when it does happen. What a wonderful Valentine treat to see my squirrel pin as part of a Storque article on silhouettes.

I got a treasury on etsy

And I could help but name it after my daughter who shares the same name as one of my favorite movies :)

This also inspires me to make her a garden gnome of her very own.

Oooh! I got a treasury on Etsy!

Isn't it puuuurty?
I am especially hankerin' on that yellow and grey hand spun yarn, I mean only $13 for hand spun yarn?! Problem is I have no idea what i would make with it. I was just checking out the treasuries yesterday and noticed that I was about 5 minutes away from being able to get one. I had to think fast of what I wanted to showcase to come up with a title and I was inspired by these puppies that are my latest obsession!Yikes I am in love with these shoes! But with a price of $88, just a bit (or more) out of my reach
