Having an Etsy Time

Ever since I posted about Charlotte's new Glamorous Girls clips, I've been having an Etsy of a time! That place is addictive. While looking at one item, I get sidetracked and find another I just have to go and visit. It is like being at a super-cool craft fair without having to deal with the crowds!

First, I found Saucy Frocks. If I had these aprons, I would want to wear them every where - Publix, the mall, taking out the trash, Gala events. I don't think a day would go by without me wearing an apron. However, my baby apron collection needs something like this to show off her more mature side. I really need to learn how to sew!





After drooling over aprons, I found Renie Britenbucher's shop, featuring her whimsical and lighthearted paintings. Doesn't this beach scene make you want to jump right in? And the vibrant colors of this floral painting? AH..... I love color!




From there, I was led to Designs by WendyT. Her funky jewelry really captured my attention. Imagine wearing a long white tunic with light khaki capris and topping it off with this necklace or bracelet? Maybe you could even be walking in that beach scene above? See how the imagination is affected by Etsy artists?

I've got to stop... I will never get anything accomplished at this rate! These folks I wrote about don't even know me, but I couldn't help but share some of my favorite Etsy items with you today.
What do you like to look for on Etsy?

    I love to poke around Etsy. I've only bought something there one time though. It is fun to see all the beautiful things people create - I'd love to be so talented. Great place for getting ideas if you are crafty and just buying for the crafty impaired.

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
