The Inevitable Etsy Cache


It was inevitable.  It's an Etsy world, and we just live in it.  I tried to resist an out-and-out Etsy post, but there are just so many wonderful little finds on that soul-absorbing site that I...I can't resist no mo'.

So, here are some of my top picks of the week!  Remember, my birthday is in March - but I'm not adverse to a little early gift-giving, iffen ye know what I mean.  

Books and air balloons.  I love books.  I love air balloons.
Come on, this is like a honeycomb to a bear!  
Speaking of bears...


A Monocled Bear.  And it's a brooch.
I want this gentlemanly beast climbing on my lapel
every. single. day.


I'm not beyond a little kitsch.  



A watercolor of The Royal Mile in
Edinburgh, Scotland!!  Here's an extra exclamation point
to emphasize my love for this print - !  Brings back memories of
my lovely summer in Scotland. 



A Fiddlin' Kitty.  My dog would protest,
but I'm the Master of my own Universe!  


And some girlie vintage frames to match.

If you have any favorite sellers or items, let me know!  I'm always up for a little wallet-torture!

  1. The Mrs.' family used to celebrate half-birthdays for the kids. Since it is close to 6 months before your birthday, maybe you could make an appeal using that strategy.
