Babies are a Treasure...

To celebrate hitting the half way mark (that means I'm 20 weeks) I created a treasury including some of the many delightful things Etsy handcrafters are offering for sweet little ones. Please click here to view them all.

Here are a few teasers:

There are so many more and from some of my favorite bloggers too, go see!

Birthday Girl Coming

Naomi & I almost share a birthday (a day apart), but I find myself spending more time thinking about how much fun HER wishlist would be than mine. A new pair of boots is exciting, a pretty necklace momentarily thrilling, a totally unnecessary mac book--over the top (as if i wasn't aiming for the moon already), but nothing beats the delight of watching Mommer (as she is affectionately called by her adoring sister) get something that lights up her eyes...
Here's a list of things I think just might--now to choose which our wallet will approve.

Selling on Etsy...

I have really enjoyed Etsy in so many ways. First--the shopping. Second--the inspiration. Third--the community of great people I've come to know on account of it. Fourth--the 'shop' I'm able to keep to meet that craving for a 'business' of my own. Thank you Etsy for coming to the world & reminding everyone how talented they are!!

My talent? Well, perhaps there are others, but: being at the right place at the right time. Such an occurrence took place this afternoon & so I reveal to you some pictures of vintage delight. Like draping my dress form in layers of candy...delicious. There's not pictured, but i'm having some technical difficulties with the zipper. We'll get it.

So, which is your favorite? Surely there's one...

Finding Shops...

(this is EASY for me to do with wonder & zeal!)

I recently decided to try an 'affiliate' program. A you scratch my back & vice versa set-up.
To start I was worried that I wouldn't find participants that I was excited about. Well, that's just so silly...

Thus far I've found several & we'll see what comes; but what adorable shops there are to choose from!!
For the next few weeks you'll be able to click right through to them from the left side-bar.
Alice in Wonderland
First: Gracey May. Caution: you'll want something! Her vintage inspired needle-point work is heart-warming. It's like a step back in time! Now you can hang some of your favorite childhood storybook characters on your own child's wall or be inspired to clog by a jolly pair of folk dancers. Simple & uplifting. Who doesn't enjoy lunch more from a bag with smiling fruit faces?
Snow White
Spool People, barrettes & custom felt crayon wallets...adorable. What kid wouldn't adore these 'little people' for reenacting the stories they know so well? Or what mom wouldn't want to make her own with the pattern for her own delight?

This is just the tip of the ice-berg, i'm certain. I'm already inspired to search out more mom-shops like these. Recommendations?
