Etsy Finds Friday!

Friday Friday!  Today is my 5th wedding anniversary and the Hubs and I both ended up getting each other prezzies from Etsy sellers - great minds thinking alike!

Let's get to some finding, shall we?

First up, check out 12 Party Votives by GamiWorks...

Aren't these fun?  I just love how colorful they are - makes me long for the days when my in-laws lived in Japan and would send boxes of awesomely Japanese stuff to us... le sigh...

Next up, check out Letterpress Peacock Poster by Sycamore Street Press...

I heart peacocks and things that are fancy... so, I'm totally loving on this print.  The colors are so great too, don't cha think? 

...and finally today, a kinder gentler way to have deer heads mounted on your wall... check out Mini Deer Plaque by Nice...

So sweet!  No deer were harmed in the making of this plaque!  I absolutely love this pink and the flowers surrounding the deer head, simple and beautiful!

Happy Friday and Happy Anniversary to me and Mr. Man!

Happy Friday!

They say it's supposed to snow here today.  I know, I know... all you peeps that live in places where it snows all the time think that us Texans freak out about such things - but seriously - I can't remember the last time I saw snow!  There's a spot in our baby book for the first time little man sees snow - I thought for sure that spot would be blank for a long time...  :)

Speaking of babies and snow... let's get to some findings, shall we?

First up, check out My Little Button Boots by Hip Knotz...

OMG -  I think I just died from cute overload.  I'm so in love with these little boots and I sure could've used them this morning when I took little man to escuela...  The color combo is delicious and the buttons really take these over the cuteness edge.

Next up, check out 2010 Giclee Calendar by Joo Joo...

So precious! I love that once the year is done, you have 12 beautiful little prints to frame and cherish forever. 

...and finally today, check out Vintage Office File Box by Domestikate...

This year is our 5th wedding anniversary - also known as the wood anniversary.  I've been searching and searching for the perfect wooden gift for the Hubs and happened upon this awesome box last week.  This isn't the gift I finally decided on - he doesn't really have many files that need a box, but I just love that this metal box happens to be woodgrain - how did woodgrain ever fall out of popularity?  The mind baffles...

Happy Friday!  

Etsy Finds Black Friday!

Hello Friends! 

It's Black Friday - also known as the busiest shopping day of the year. 

Since I worked in retail for too many years, I'm always turned off by all of the early store openings, blow out sales, and anything labeled as 'doorbuster' savings... makes me shiver...

Thankfully, our friends over at Etsy have featured a slew of sellers that are offering free shipping today - now that's some 'doorbuster' savings I can get behind!

Let's get to the findings!

First up, check out the Hitchcock Moccasin by Darlingtonia Moccasin Company...

I absolutely love that these aren't your typical moccasin!  The colors and the birds are just killer!

Next, check out Noble Fir - the Little Fox by Sleepy King...

Is that tweed?  Love it!  This little fox would be a perfect prezzie for my little guy.  He's really into having lots of animal friends - to the dismay of my kittie boys...

...and finally today... check out Narwhal Named GOB by Squid Ink Kollective...

Even if you're not a fan of Arrested Development, who wouldn't want a Narwhal riding a Segway tee in their collection?

Happy Friday!

Etsy Finds Friday!

Friday Friday!  It's almost Turkey Day, can you believe it?  Guess I need to start thinking about Christmas presents too... where does the time go?

Lots of good stuff to share with you today - let's get to it!

First up, check out Clock Made From A Recycled Record Player by Stuff Made From Stuff...

I think this is such a cool idea - I love old record players and everyone knows I'm a sucker for a cute unusual clock, so, this seems like a match made in heaven!

Next up, check out Little Bitty Giant Sequoia Plush by Hi Tree!...

Wow!  This is made of felt?  Wow! I'm impressed.  I love the layering effect of the tree leaves here - simply awesome.

...and finally today, since it is almost Christmas time... and since I know a baby Man Cub that likes him some stuffed animals... check out Plush Reindeer by Noica...

So cute!  Little man would for sure love to tell this reindeer some stories while munching on an arm or leg...

Happy Friday!

Friday Friday!  So much good stuff to share with you today - let's get to it!

First up, check out Antler Frame by Paperdoll Woodshop...

I absolutely love this frame - I mean, it has antlers, so, how can you go wrong? 

Next up, check out Owl Family by One Gift One World...

Hey, that's my family!  These are so incredibly beautiful - if I didn't have 4 kitty boys that would most certainly break one of these and hide the others under the couch, I would love to own this sweet little owl trio.

...and finally today, one for the Man Cub.  Since it's mid-November now, I'm guessing that any day now it might be chilly outside... it is almost Christmas, so, it has to get cold at some point, right?  When it does, wouldn't my little man look absolutely adorable in this Cashmere Silly Bear Hat by Fuzzsicle?

So cute!  The fact that it's cashmere is a total bonus, but what really made me fall for this hat is the super duper cute embroidered bear - almost too cute for words!

Happy Friday!

Etsy Finds Monday?

Huh? Monday?  Friday I woke up with the most terrible stomach virus ever - so, there was no blogging going on - there was not much but sipping 7-Up and feeling sorry for myself...

But I'm back, and I'm still alive!  So, let's do some Monday finds, shall we?

First up, check out White Rabbit Ring by Vienna Horses...

 
This ring can also be a brooch - your choice!  I love the shape, texture, size and color of this little beauty.  So simple and cute!

Next up, it's something for the Man Cub - have I mentioned how much my baby enjoys the company of finger puppets? 

They are by far his favorite toys... Check out these awesome Fun With the Farm Animals Finger Puppets  by With Hugs and Kisses...

These are a must have for somebody's Christmas stocking this year!

Finally today, check out probably the single greatest item I've ever stumbled upon on Etsy in all my days of Etsy Finding...

Do you like Night Court?  Sure, we all do...

Do you like bringing your own bar to the party?  Hmmm... never thought of it, but could be a good idea...

Well then... the Night Court Travel Bar by Frosty Darling might just be the one thing that could make all your dreams a reality...

 
I'm not really even a drinker, but OMG I so want to show up to the next dinner party with my own Night Court Travel Bar! 

Happy Monday!

First up, check out Small Personalized Bowl by Lynn Cardwell Pottery...

These are so cute - I love that they come in Fiesta colors and am also fond that I get to choose the phrase for the bowl - oh, how I love to personalize things!

Next up, check out Vintage Brass Deer Bookends by Greatfindz...

I'm not sure why, but I've been so totally into things made of brass and things that are in the shape of deer lately... these kill both birds with one stone! 

...and finally today, I usually try to find one goodie each week for Mr. Baby Pants, but this week, I've discovered something for my old babies... my kitty boys...

Check out Retro Modern Pet Bed in Textured Avocado by Like Kittysville...

I wish I knew of this when I had avocado green couches!  I absolutely adore the design of this bed - the wood, the shape, the vintage fabric - OMG!  I wonder if it's scratch proof...

Happy Friday!

I just love initial necklaces and these are awesome!  I'm digging the gold plate background and chain and the fact that these are vintage typewriter keys - radical!

The little old lady design sense that I seem to sometimes have loves me some fox fur wraps... now I can totally have one without any foxes being harmed in the process! 

Happy Friday!

Friday Friday!  There's finally a chill in the air here in the ATX and it almost seems like fall around here finally... which has put me in the mood for a Finds Friday theme...

Owls and faux bois... here we go!

First up, check out Owlie Woods Tryptich Panel Three by the Gorgonist...

I absolutely love the colors used in this panel - and also love the way they were blended - almost like an acid wash technique.  The mommy and baby owls are too awesome for words...

Next up, check out Redwood Lovers Hoot Owl – Humboldt by Buttercupbloom...

 

OMG - where did they get such yummy faux bois fabric... must troll the internet... I love all the little details here on this owlie - his eyes and beak are so sweet and delicate - and I'm also swooning over his big heart!

Finally today, one for the little man - who is already getting his first tooth and is therefore a drool machine... check out Woodsy the Owl by Coco + Milkweed...

So cute!  Love all the handstitching details on the felt owl and am totally in love with the faux bois of it all - wonder if it would be as absorbent as my Sham Wow bibs... hmmm... either way, it's cute cute cute!

Happy Friday Everybody!!!

Etsy Finds Friday!

Wow - it's already Friday and I've got Halloween on the brain! 

Let's get to the finding!

First up, check out Skeleton Finger Puppet by Cheryl A. Smith...

If there's one thing in this world that my little man cub enjoys, it's a finger puppet.  He squeals in delight and likes to tell them secrets and give them hugs - which is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen... ever...

This little skelly puppet is so perfect for some Halloween baby conversations and spooky baby hugs!

Next up, check out Mummies and Vampires Checkers by P's and Q's...

I love me some checkers and mummies and vampires makes the game even more fun!  I wonder who will win this age ol' battle - mummies or vamps?

...and finally today, check out Vampire Love by Vera Meat...

Why, yes, I am reading Twilight right now... oh, you're right, we did just finish up watching True Blood... hooray for vampires!

There's a soft spot in my heart for multi-finger rings, and I love this particular one with it's oh so awesome vamp teeth!

Happy Friday everyone!
