A quick note:
Dear Etsy, get thee far from me! Not really, because I'm thoroughly enjoying spending afternoons and evenings getting lost in your handmade jewels and vintage treasures. Ohh lala!
I find myself getting inspired in a new-ish way. I'm not a crafty type, but I really appreciate those who are. Etsy is my new weakness. I am very thankful that I have neither the financial backing nor the house ownership needed to purchase the wonderful things I find.
However, I want to share a few of my favorite finds, more on the affordable side, from random sites and such. In time, I might invest!
[Love this website! Check out their products & read about the many different organizations they are supporting. Fav quote: "We aren't asking you to buy more stuff, just change the products that you already buy." Let's move from being convenient shoppers to conscious & responsible consumers. This is my goal!]
[Have you read Katie Davis's blog? You should. It's listed in my favorite sites. This is the organization that partners with her: 147 Million Orphans. I love the hearts of these women-- adoption! And, I find myself reusing my venti Starbucks cups over and over for iced water. Why not use one of these?]
[My Etsy fetish here. I really like this lady's store! I think it's ironic that I would be willing to spend $15 on a checkbook cover that says "spend wisely." Is it worth it? It's SO cute!]
[I've had my eye on this shirt for a while now. Really like the design, colors, & Desmond Tutu quote on the back. And Land of a Thousand Hills is one of my favorite organizations!]
[This has been on my mind... I think I will label it a temptation. But maybe since I'm moving, I could use it? Yeah? I'm just making excuses. I want it!]
[Here's my Amazon.com wishlist. I go through books like crazy. My mom constantly scolds me for not using the FREE library. I tell her that I like to write in them and keep them as long as I want, and then have the freedom to give them away if I so choose. It's gotten out of control at times. I should really go to the library more often.]
[I wish I was a painter. The truth is: my sister inherited that talent. So for people like me, who so desire to be artsy but end up ruining most things when they try, they made wall decals! Wooooooo! I think trees are so lovely. What a fun room!]
[Old school/ vintage stuff has captivated me. And dresses are just fun! & breezy.]
[I really have a lot of bags, but specifically have been wanting to find a longer, messenger-type purse. I have yet to find one in a normal store that I love, and I would much rather spend a little more on something like this-- handmade by these lovely women.
Ok, enough treasure-hunting for now. I'm peeling myself away from the computer now full of endless possibilities of finding precious, creative things that express my style and life perfectly. Until next time!
