Etsy Weekly Finds!

Yes, friends..it's that time!!

May I present to you all my fave things this week via Etsy! Things that will make you laugh, smile, possibly cry (WHAT?!) and maybe even make you wonder...why didn't I think of that? I was going to do Pinterest finds as well, but I found so much on Etsy that this will be all Etsy, All The Time!




First up...Bat Dog Penny! Can this be more darling? Doubt it. If you know me, you know I love animals and dogs in particular!

And the Frosty cards! Love traditional holiday stuff:

Next up. Jewelry! Emerson wants a necklace with his birthstone (garnet, January) for his bday or christmas. I was trying to find him something unisex that doesn't scream "Girl!" or "I love Justin Bieber!" and here it is, minus the pearl for him:

From DewyMorningVintage on Etsy..looks like Brad's stepdad Ron a.k.a. "Ronimal"..it's the white hair and moustache! For a time, I kept seeing men who looked just like this.. white hair, white stache and finally Brad became annoyed with me and said  "You think everyone looks like Ron!" Me: "No, I don't. Just the above 70 set with the same hair and facial hair who DO look like Ron! It must be a fashion thing at that age. Don't blame me that he has multiple doppelgangers!" It's sold, which makes me a bit sad...but this shop has other great stuff! Lesson learned: If you see something that looks like an in-law, BUY it! You never know when you'll be able to gift someone you love with their very own image!

I bought these exact white legwarmers from Larisa on Etsy a few weeks back! I've worn them and they are well made, comfy and they make my leggings look cuter AND I also wore them with skirt and boots the other day:

And I give you..comfy knits!!

I bought a scarf from Deanna of Deroucheau on Etsy last season and it is well made, warm and so pretty! She now has some of her items being sold at Anthropologie! She's also the pretty girl modeling her scarves! Love her stuff:

Finally...Drakestone Designs on Etsy makes the cutest stuff for kids and adults! Love this barnwood frame with the monogrammed burlap insert:

And cutest items for kids spaces! Made with reclaimed wood, which I love as I'm a BIT of a recycling and upcycling "weirdo" as I've been told. Whatevs.

Brad and I received an impromptu recorder concert from Emerson just last night at his mommy's (and my sister Dawn) bday dinner! He took it out of its soft case, put the cord around his neck (they have cords on them nowadays! How fancy!) and he played a wonderful and touching rendition of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" except he called it a different name. A few restaurant patrons got very quiet and then...applause and cheers! He looked a bit embarrassed, but quite proud! I recall playing the recorder and don't recall being very good at it. Brad took a video..if I can upload it here, you'll see it soon!


Have a wonderful day & great weekend!!

Randoms At Our House. How Things Really Look.

This post is for Kim, my best pal.

When she comes over, she always says "you should take pictures of the flattened stuffed dog toys that Curtis ruins and how hilarious it all looks." So..this one's for you, Kim-San Baby!

I like to think that our house generally looks fairly neat and clean. It's usually clean, but there are always weird items strewn about due to the puppy. I think his motto is basically "I've never met an object that can't be played with!"

Curtis with Twinkie Box. I polish off the box, he chews it for a time. We recycle. "Things That Work."



I don't have a photo of it, but his latest fave is chewing on (rinsed out and emptied) Gatorade bottles. He'll chew on a bottle for a few days. Takes it outside. Carries it around the yard. It works better than a rawhide because it lasts longer! He'll chew a bone up in less than ten minutes. When Daisy (older dog) gets annoyed with him, she either steals the bottle OR the other day...peed on it. That's right. Peed. Right. On. It. I'm not gonna lie, he looked offended like "what? how COULD you?"

May I present to you..Headless Bear! He's been carting this one around since winter.

Flattened giraffe and puppy. See the stuffing he's pulled out? This is why we don't buy new toys unless they're from the Dollar Store. I keep telling Brad "When he gets older, I'll just restuff all of these and sew them up!"  or "This is why we don't have nice things!!"

Found this the other night as I headed to our bedroom! It's a large stuffed bear/seat. He loves it. He was playing nicely with it earlier in the day. Kissing it. Sitting on it. He blended WITH the bear "where does the bear end and the puppy begin?" Oh..so sweet! And then..this!

He really likes the stuffing! No worries, I will stuff it all back in and sew it up..and save it for a later date. He cannot be trusted!

In other news, we're selling a bunch of stuff on Craiglist as we're going to be moving and downsizing this fall. It actually feels good and I'm excited to purge! So..I'm off to meet random strangers to sell things!

Happy Thursday, Peeps!
