It's Mine! All Mine!!

Mine! Mine! Mine!

So I am normally very good at restraining myself from shopping. I have been so good lately I decided to reward myself. What kind of reward did I get?? A mini-shopping spree of course!

It has been at least 4 months since my last Etsy purchase. I am constantly coming across little treasures on Etsy that I must have. Through hard work and determination I have been able to refrain from making any purchases.

Well not today! While I was putting together my latest treasury, Nap Time, I came across these cute little notecards. Immediately I feel for "Oh So Sleepy". Then when I snooped around, the photographer's site, nicholslk, I came across "Lil Guy" and I had to have that as well! He is so cute that I just could not say no. This cutie pie is now on his way to my house! Who could pass up a face that cute??

Laid Back and Loving It is little cutie made by NowThatsDifferent. I have been watching him for a while. I just think he is the cutest little guy around. I love how he is photographed in a plant. What a perfect place for him. I plan to go to Lowe's sometime this week and buy him a plant to live in.

Ok, can someone talk me out of buying this guy? Similar to the the cat above, this is a sleepy kitty notecard. Lindentreephotograph did an amazing job photographing this little kitty. He looks like he is exhausted. It is such a cute little notecard but I just purchased 2 cards! Someone talk me down before I buy this guy as well!!

Cool Stuff on Etsy

So, I have had some extra time on my hands lately. What have I been doing with that spare time? Surfing Etsy!

I have come across some very unique finds. I thought I would take a quick moment to share them with you. I am continually amazed by the talent that abounds on Etsy!

My new favorite item on Etsy is made by Karen of Karen's Soaps. The Pink Knitters Soap is so cute I can hardly stand it. I want to buy one for all of my friends but none of my friends are knitters! I need to make new friends so I have a good reason to buy this!! I mean really, does it get better than this?? And to top it off, the soap is scented with Victoria's Secret "Pink". My favorite perfume!!

This past weekend I went to the Designer's Downtown Market. This is an outdoor craft show held quarterly that many of the NCTriangle Etsy Street Team members sell at. I stopped by and visited with Tina from Scatterbox. She is an amazing photographer and crafter. This little guy stood out to me as soon as a I stepped into her immaculate booth.

She makes them in several colors and phrases, but this Strix - Inspire is my favorite!

Recently, I happened upon Etsy seller, CWadeDesigns out of Boston. She makes the cutest wristlet organizers and craft show aprons. Her aprons are what originally caught my eye. One of the necessities at a craft show is having a convenient and safe place to store your money and receipts. Her aprons are perfect. And so cute!! Juicy 2 is my favorite!
