Orange

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would share some cute children finds I have come across on Etsy, from the Etsy Kids Team. Click on the link below the photos to view more items from these shops:

Pink Stripe

I love the t-shirt tie look, and this one is especially cool. Having three boys, it's always nice to find some great boy clothing.

For the Love of Zebra

Seriously! Doesn't this just make you smile! I find it so cute and happy looking.

Embroidery Emporium

This is great frilly fun.

Beloved Bows

Ghouls totally rock!

Maddie Bees

This set is so rad! And there are more cool Halloween-ie sets to find in this shop.

Etsy is a treasure chest of fun and original items for Halloween! So if you are looking for something out of the ordinary, I would suggest searching Etsy, and you can start with these wonderful shops:)

I have a few items in the works for halloween, and can't wait to share them with you!

Have a great day!

It's My One Year Shop Anniversary on Etsy!

Hummingbird Quilt

One year ago today I opened my Etsy shop. To be honest I was a little surprised when I discovered this yesterday! Though excited. When I first opened my shop, I am pretty sure it was empty for the first month or so, and when I finally did add items to my shop, I only added 3 or 4. I didn't understand why no one was visiting my shop! Aahhh! The lessons I have learned over the year. Actually most of my learning has happened in the last few months.

I love to celebrate special occasions, and I do believe this is a special occasion, so I am offering 15% off all orders from my shop. Just enter code SHOPLOVE at check out, from today until Friday July 8th. To visit my shop click here.

Happy shopping!!

I Love Leggings

I'm going through a bit of an obsession with leggings these days. I favorite almost every pair I see on Etsy. Summer is here, so it's not exactly the season for leggings, but I just love some of the designs that are coming out.

I love how these ones make her legs look like tree trunks:

Who doesn't love black and white? Especially in fun geometric shapes:

On the Search of the Perfect Dress

So a while ago I wrote a post about Rob's decision to have a ceremony signifying our love. A ceremony of love I have decided to call it. You can read more here.

Well so far we have done nothing to prepare for it. Yes we have over a year, but with our track record we will be scrambling to pull something together in the last couple of months!

Last night I was on the phone with Rob's sister and she brought up our ceremony and we chatted for a while about it, and I thought I should start putting some energy into it. After I finished sewing I went on Etsy and began my search for the perfect dress, and because it's not going to be a marriage I can go the non-traditional route. Though I did find a white dress I liked. It was the first dress I came across in my search! Here are a few of the dresses I liked, I hearted many, many, many dresses. It's Etsy, so of course there were tons!

This one isn't a colour I would wear, but I do like the style:

and finally the last one which I like because it is convertible:

That's what I have so far. It's quite the mish mash of styles I know. It's so me though. I can't settle on one style in my daily life because it's all about how I am feeling that day, so this feels like a huge decision for me. 

If you have any dress recommendations please send them my way. I would be grateful for a little help:)
