Favorites.

Sometimes I find things on Etsy that I love so much I want a million of them. I figured I'd share some of my favorites with you. Isn't it funny how when we look on Etsy, we all find such different stuff? All cool stuff, but so different.

You all know I love cats. Cats on Washi Tape? Brilliant!

You might like the Chevron better.

Tiny earrings. Perfect for your second hole if you are behind the times (like me) and only have your ears pierced twice. Aren't these cute?

I love this. It's cute. Ampersand.

These are the cutest. Could I make them? Yes. Will I? No; I will buy them.

This would be a really great wedding gift. 

I told you I like cats. Got it?

This painting makes me want to live here...

Where do you live?

Squirrels are a girls best friend. Or was it diamonds? I forget.

Sweet. Please wrap someone you love a gift with this.

The Marrakech Trellis stencil. I will be doing this in my house. Soon.

What cool Etsy stuff are you finding? I would love to see your favorites!

I am actually going to take some pictures of the changes I have made in my house this weekend. I will give you a sneak peak of my dresser that I painted too. Not quite sure about it. Trial and error, right? I can't wait to see what you think!

Enjoy the last real weekend of Summer. Fall is coming....

If you know me you know I love cats, so when I saw these on Etsy, I knew I had to show you. I will be getting one very soon!

I can't resist this one.

But this one is so cute too!

Or maybe this one?

I just don't know how people can be so talented. If I could do something like this, I'd wallpaper my house in them. I can't even draw a stick figure...

For the love of frames!

I love, love, love this frame. I can see it with a picture of someone you love sitting on your nightstand, can't you? At only $14 (YUP!) you can buy two!

The colors are so great together...I would do a whole room around just this frame!

I'm sort of getting excited for Halloween and Fall decorating this year for some reason! I have to keep reminding myself that it's not October yet! When I found this, I just knew I had to share it! I think it's a great price for only $35 considering the work that probably went into it and the cost of the supplies. 

Isn't it cute? I would probably remove the bow or change it, but I really like this. If I had a front porch, it would be mine! What do you think?

These need to be mine! They are some of the cutest boots I have seen in forever so if you buy them don't tell me...I'll be too jealous!

I told you!

A cute little Etsy find that I just had to post!

I found this cute little necklace while I was looking at Etsy and I just had to share it. I think it would be the cutest little gift for a friend, a daughter, a mother...or perhaps all three since it costs just $12!

I LOVE starfish!

Now get shopping!

Etsy find of the day!

This is for anyone who wants to give someone a little surprise. When I saw it, I actually thought it would be a wonderful way to propose to someone. Such a pretty little place to hide a great big diamond. If you're into diamonds. Any ring would work.

This beautiful origami lotus flower is made of paper and costs only $6.50. So the next time someone asks for your advice on how to propose...suggest this. I would buy six or seven of them and hide something fun in each one.

I cannot tell a lie! This is a very unusual Etsy find. I'm not sure what to say about it other than at a cost of almost $3000 (yes three-thousand-buckaroos) you and I will probably not be partaking in this very odd find of mine. I'll let you decide what you think of it...

That said, let me introduce you to the Mood Rocking Bed. I find it quite odd. Plus I often sit in rocking chairs and feel like I'm going to fall backwards so I really wonder how much sleep I would get in this!

Do not say that I didn't warn you! The seller says it is okay for indoor or outdoor use. Hmmm, okay, yes in the city my yard isn't even big enough for this! I find it very odd. Apparently you can allow it to rock, or keep it in place with rubber stops. I just don't know what to say. I love how it looks but I wonder if I would get a wink of sleep in this???

Sweet Dreams....

Look at these fantastic die cutouts that I found! Great for a party and cheap! Here are my two favorites...

Eiffel Tower cutouts for a French themed party...

These mommy-to-be silhouettes are the sweetest little things I have ever seen. Whose having a baby? I'll throw the shower!!!

What a great way to dress up a party on the cheap!

I'm a big fan of picking up holiday gifts WAY ahead of time. In order to do this, you see, I must find things that are not "out of style" before the holiday rolls around. So today I show you these! I love them. Not only would I love for someone to get them for me as a gift (hint, hint, HINT) but I would also love to get a handwritten letter on one. I think they are beautiful...especially these days with all of the texting, emailing, and facebooking we do. I'm not saying I'm not guilty of these rather impersonal ways of communicating because I am. In the worst way. I am! However, on occasion, I do take the time to write a note to someone and put it in the mail. You should try it too. Do it once a month and you'll be surprised at how special you'll make someone feel!

There are lots of colors to choose from too! Now my only question is this...what if your name is not Jennifer M. Jackson? Kidding, kidding!

This one is for our women blog readers. Sometimes I think we forget to...

Hang this someplace where you will remember. Come on, we've all been to yoga...in through your nose, out through your mouth, 3 times. Now don't you feel better?

It's Friday, Just Breathe.

Today I have found more wall art! I love this family rules of the house in the form of a subway sign. You could probably make one yourself, but why not buy this for $49? It's cute! 

My personal favorite? Be happy!

So for Wednesday...be happy!

Celebration...wedding style!

I'm getting married! Wait, I am married. I'm going to get married again then. I'm going to make my husband ask me to marry him and have a second wedding. I mean, seriously, I have better taste now than I did the first time. It's gonna happen. Watch!

So since I'm having a second wedding, here is what it will look like. Don't even act like it's not going to happen or you aren't getting an invitation. I'm serious.

So here's where the dinner will be held. I have no idea where I found this picture, but let's pretend it's in the French countryside. Yes, I'll pay to fly you all in. Stop freaking out about getting to my wedding!

I'm going to have these mason jar candles all over the place. You see, it will be darker than the above picture at my wedding dinner. We'll need this lighting for ambiance! It'll make all of us look young and beautiful.

I will have these all over the table. I like flat stuff. No knocking it over and ruining the par-tay!

I will have these for place cards. You know I like birds! Instead of having your name on them they will say, "Sit where you want! I don't need to tell you what to do!" Secretly, I will hope you sit by people you don't know, and those people will become people that you are friends with.

I am going to have the chef make blue cheese burgers because I love them. It is MY wedding! We will eat these burgers on fresh buns from the boulangerie up the French path a couple kilometers.

We'll eat lots and lots of beautiful fruit.

Then we'll eat lots and lots of red velvet cupcakes. If you want to you can have more than one. I won't tell anyone. I just want you to be fat and happy!

Before you leave I will need you to step into the photo booth and pose with these. I need some laughs for after this shindig is over because I'll be depressed! I'll send you the pictures of yourself too. I'm a good sharer.

The above activity will be much more fun because I'll have you drinking lots of gin and tonics. You'll be thirsty after the blue cheese burgers.

After all this fun, you will all go home with full bellies and talk about how fabulous my wedding was. While you are at home, Jason and I will be here. It's our new house!

I'm not sure this second wedding thing is gonna work. Maybe I just need to plan a backyard party.

Hope you enjoyed my wedding!

This is what we all wish, I know...

Hang this where you can see it for inspiration. We all need a little motivation to get things done in our life. I think this sweet little print is the perfect thing to glance at during the daily grind. It's $20 for an 8x10 and you can go get a half off frame at Michael's for it. 

Have a blessed Wednesday!

I'm really in love with my find today. I want to have about twelve kids PRONTO so that I can have one with 12 little pendants. However, that is not going to happen so I will leave that part to you. These might be a little more expensive than the things I would normally show you but well worth it!

Did your parents have one of these made of your profile when you were a kid? Mine did! I think they are some of the most charming little treasures to wear around your neck. I am going to order a necklace with four pendants. They will be of Curtis, Chloe, Sonny and Tinkerbell...my three cats and dog. Okay, call me crazy I won't do that. BUT if my husband were to go through the trouble I would wear it every single day! 

If you have already had 12 children, please email me ASAP. I will throw you a party at my house AND buy you one of these with twelve pendants!

Urban Style

I thought I'd share some chic urban style to wear shopping, lunching, or barbecuing. Mix and match these simple pieces with other things you have in your wardrobe already...

You will find this tunic on Etsy for $40. It's one of those things that will never go out of style. It's just a cute retro-vintage sort of classic and the colors are so perfect for summer!

Pair the tunic with these slim leg jeans from Land's End. You can even roll the jeans up so you'll have a couple of wide cuffs...so cute! They are simple dark denim jeans and they cost $59.50. CHEAP for jeans and you can wear them all winter too. You'll be wearing them with some cute riding boots this winter!

Next let's throw on some comfy ballet flats in silver. These are from Nine West and they're on sale for $41.40. They still have a wide variety of sizes so get them quick if you want them. Nothing says comfort like ballet flats. I think they look great with jeans or skirts.

These earrings will go great with your new urban style and you'll be able to wear them with anything! They have gold (brass) and silver in them and we all know that a combination of the two means you can't go wrong. They are $24 and two and a half inches long. Go for big earrings!

These are just some ideas. Buy all of this for a great outfit or pick and choose things to buy and wear with what you already have. All of it will look urban and chic for a year or two...unless you live in New York where you are required to constantly update your style to look current. I think that in the midwest and other urban and suburban areas all of this stuff will look great for quite a while!

Remember to try different combinations of clothes in your own closet too. If you like how things look and it's comfortable there aren't many rules. Fashion these days is a great mix of fun vintage, crazy color schemes and hip new trends all thrown into one.

What's your favorite thing to wear these days? I'd love to hear!

Today's find is one that I'll be buying as soon as I paint my front door. I'll be getting it in white. Such an easy way to welcome people and add some whimsy to your door! Love it!

You can buy this in a multitude of different colors for $7! Yes, that is it! How can you resist?

I promised myself that I would take the weekend off, but then I remembered these and decided I had to post them. I was glad I did since they are on sale for the holiday weekend! They are the cutest most whimsical things I have seen in a long time. I wonder if it would be overload if I had one in every room?

At $32.99 these are a splurge for most of us being that they hold tissue! I'll take one in Green and one in Aqua, thank you very much. 

Sayonara till Monday or Tuesday!

Yes, you're very observant because I changed the name from "Etsy find of the day" to "Today's Etsy." Don't be surprised if I change it again because I'm like that. Alyssa and I have a good schedule set for posting so you'll start knowing what to expect everyday of the week. We're nice like that because we like you! We're pretty new to the blog world so we're still trying to figure things out. Thank you for stopping in to look at our posts! 

Moving on to my Etsy find, I'm very excited to share this with you! Yellow seems to be the new "in" color and I have added it to my house where I can. Because of my colors right now I can't use too much of it, but I LOVE the color yellow. WAIT, my bathroom is yellow! What the heck am I thinking? It's a warm color that doesn't cast funky shadows on my skin when I'm getting ready. For my bathroom I chose Butter from Restoration Hardware. I digress! On with it! Here is today's find...

This listing is for TWO 20" pillow covers. The inserts are not included so go pick them up at Ikea for seven bucks each. I swear these are sent from heaven. Even if you sew, they are worth the price! The fabric is great quality and the color and print is to-die-for! Please buy these since I can't...I will happily live vicariously through you. They won't work anyplace in my house...believe me, I've tried. 

Happy Wednesday! Just a couple more days till the holiday weekend!

Etsy find of the day!

Today's Etsy find is great for short or long hair. I could not pull this look off. Alyssa could, and so could a lot of my friends. For some reason wide headbands don't work great on me and I feel like people are looking at me like I have completely lost it! It could just be my perception, but if you can wear these I am jealous...just so you know!

This headband is $24 and I think it would look great with jeans and a t-shirt or a dress if you're heading to a wedding. I love the rosette! It helps that this model is absolutely darling and has beautiful thick hair too! I am currently trying to grow out my bangs so any cute hair accessories are catching my eye these days. Could you wear this? Would you wear this?

Hope you had a fast-moving Monday!
