Pretty Petals Bobby Pin

Etsy always has a poll going on with a theme and matching items. The current theme right now is "flowers." You can find anything in the Voter section right now that has a floral design from headbands and hats, to journals and paintings. I'll be honest and say that I voted for this really pretty floral bobby pin.

Voting for this poll ends 10am est on March 25th, so check out all the other items and cast your vote!!

Vintage Inspired Birdhouse

This bird house is TOO cute!! You could probably even display it inside somewhere on a shelve or wherever you tend to display things... or outside where the birds are is always a good idea, too.

I think my favourite part would have to be the glass knob piece. It is quite affordable at 15 bucks, so it will probably sell fast, especially since it was picked by some of the Etsy editors, but click on the shop and you'll find others!!

I Can Read

There's this blog that I like to look at, which as it says on the site is all about images with words. I like how simple some of them can be and the use of different fonts and stuff.

Check it out!

I saw these buttons on Etsy and they kind of reminded me of that site. Check out her whole shop, because she also makes fortune cookies with neat messages or one of your own.

For Melanie

I have no real excuses for why I haven't updated this thing in FOREVER, but I will now start trying to do this more regularly. Hello Melanie! I hope I'm still in your bookmark bar.

Speaking of Melanie (an awesome friend of mine), she had a girl's night on Saturday where we made our own sushi, drank miso soup, had sweets (note: that word is plural) and I drank a load of YUMMY tea.

When I searched "tea" in Etsy, this was the first item that came up and it's actually a really sweet deal.

You get a cuticle balm and a green tea lip butter in a cute little pouch. There is also a note on the listing that lets you know you can pick a different lip butter instead of the one pictures in the listing.

Check out the rest of the shop, too. They have tons of soaps, lip butters, masks, cleansers, etc.

Michael Jackson's Wallet

is empty... and full of Macaulay Culkin pictures... no?

This is a pretty neat wallet. I think I've posted a few wallets on here, but this one is definitely a bit different... and it's been recyled!!

There were a few to choose from in the PocketEtc shop, but come on, Michael Jackson?? I thought so.

South Bend

Possible true facts about South Bend, Indiana I found on Wikipedia:

  • the first settlements were established as fur trading posts.
  • 38.7 square miles of land.
  • in the late 19th Century, South Bend was influenced by a large influx of Polish Catholic immigrants.
  • the Studebaker National Museum has a large collection of wagons and automobiles.
Now if those facts don't make you want to visit South Bend, then maybe this little store will...


Not sure if this is for real, but apparently there is a store in South Bend. Maybe if someone from South Bend is reading this, they can confirm it for me?? hahaha.

I don't know who would really buy this stuff, but it's pretty funny/neat either way.
