Etsy Favorites - Arrow Love

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

I made my first Etsy Treasury! These are my favorites of the items listed in the treasury. You can see the full list here. I've noticed the coolness of arrows lately, and I've fallen in love. They're so sweet and simple. I tend to hate things that EVERYONE likes just for the fact that everyone likes them. haha Trends and fads usually annoy me. So I really annoy myself when I like popular things : /

I want all of these things BADLY. Anyone feel like buying me some presents?

I love polka dots.

Do polka dots make you as happy as they make me? I swear, I can’t get enough! I picked six of my recent Pinterest finds to share with y’all. Most people are aware of my love (obsession) with polka dots. They’re just so nice! They make me feel happy and light. Look at that mustard shirt! How can you NOT be happy when you see a sun-shiny color like that?! And that peach scarf?! Freakin beautiful.

That’s me in one of my newest polka dot shirts. A huge thanks to my Grandpa Tony for getting me an Old Navy gift card. I haven’t shopped there in FOREVER. I went while I visited one of my favorite peeps in Fort Worth. Who knew Old Navy had such cute stuff?? I sure as hell didn’t. They even have accessories now! You better believe I bought a necklace AND two bracelets. I was also very tempted to buy this polka dot shirt in every color they had available…but I had some self control.

So what about you? Do you love polka dots? Or stripes? Or chevron? I’d love for you to share :)

 

Giraffes make me smile

Look at those eyes! That super cute smile! Doesn’t this picture just make you happy?! haha It makes me happy, so I thought I’d share it with you.

I’ve REALLY been wanting to go to the Zoo, but I just haven’t had a chance to. There’s sooo much going on this time of year. I’ve been super busy with sewing and family gatherings. I had plans to go with some family, but then that didn’t happen :(  My bestie and I will hopefully make plans to take his wife and kiddos one day soon! They’ve changed it so much! According to my coworker, almost everything is different. They have more exhibits and new animals. They even have giant leaves for you to buy to FEED THE GIRAFFES! When she told me that I got REALLY excited! She took her daughter and she liked it. A giraffe wrapped it’s tongue around her tiny lil arm and she freaked out haha I think it’ll be fun :)

Oh! If you like giraffes too, you should definitely check out the ones I make. Visit my shop :)

What is your favorite animal?

*Update* I went to the zoo this weekend!!!! I'll be sharing some pictures with y'all soon!

Etsy Favorites – Jewelry

I’m sitting here singing along with Alex Clare and surfing Etsy. I decided I should share some of my favorite items with you! Are you in love with Etsy like I am?? A couple of years ago, my friend introduced me to the site and I basically never left it. ha. There are so many super awesome things to discover. I’m amazed at the talent I come across. It really inspired me to be crafty :)
I’ve recently gotten really into accessories. I’m completely obsessed with watches and bracelets. Although, I’m proud of myself for having some great self control I’m sort of sad every single time I deny myself such pretty things. Today, I’ll show off a few things on my wish list of jewelry that I WISH I could own. If anyone wants to surprise me with presents I would TOTALLY love you forever :) On to the awesomeness…
