Etsy Finds of the Week

Well hello Thursday and Etsy Finds of the Week! It's been awhile! ;)

Gold Crystal Necklace 

By: Lola Bean Designs

$45

I came across this necklace and loved how simple and pretty it was! They show it was an option to wear as a birthstone (April), which I think is a cute twist on the necklaces to wear with your child's initials.

And if you have no kids and your birthday is not in April, nix the first paragraph and just get it to wear just because.

Because there is NOTHING wrong with that!

Lots of pretty jewelry in this shop. Check it out!

Funny Mother's Day Socks
By: Twisted Tee

$18.76

Hey! Everyone! It's almost Mother's Day (in two months)! And though I might love something more than socks, I'd take this in addition to a gorgeous diamond ring (HAAAA!)

These are so fun -- and also would be a fun Father's Day gift. There is also a WINE O'CLOCK version. :)

Lots of fun things in this shop for kids and adults. Mainly funny adult humor type of stuff. :)

 Leather iPhone Case
By: Barva Leather
$44+

This popped up in my Etsy Favorites. And though I didn't favorite it before, I favorited it now. I really like the look of this. I used to also have a similar case like this and really liked it!

You open this up to find your phone, and some slots for cards. This particular case also has a stand that allows you to sit your phone up.

You can your initials put on it for an extra $8.

Though MOTHER'S DAY IS FIRST, Father's Day would be next and this would be a fantastic gift!


Happy Thursday everyone!

XXOO,

Etsy Finds of the Week

Thursday. We've made it to Thursday. I don't know how, but we are here and my kids are all still alive and everyone has been fed and bathed.

Yes, Matt has been gone.

Which explains my lack of post yesterday! I even was working on one --- and then when I sat down at 5 AM this morning to try and finish it after feeding a sick Tess, I thought "Allyson, this is straight CRAY. Go back to bed for 15 minutes."

So I did.

BUT I'm here today so let's do this!

Modern Bib/All-in-One Scarf

By: Scabib

$12

My sweet nephew Anderson is still too teeny for bibs. And I doubt there is tons of drooling going on there yet.

But you can guarantee when the drool starts, he needs to be wearing this. This exact bib/scarf!

My brother will cringe.

But it will be fine because he's adorable and he will be in buffalo check and he will bring all the ladies to the yard!

I personally love this because you can just keep moving the bib around as one side gets a little more drenched.

It has a velcor-like/hook-n-loop closure and is the size of three bibs!

Can I take like 12 for Tess?!

Donut Party Birthday Shirt
By: Lil Threadz Clothing
$33 +

As a parent, you sometimes do silly (dumb) things. Like buy your growing toddler a pair of Uggs that they will only be able to fit in for five months.

Or give them yogurt while they are wearing nice clothes.

Or buy them birthday shirts that are $30.

I can confirm that I have done at least two of those three things.

AND I'm probably going to do one of them again for my Tess, who turns one on February 24! I LOVE these shirts! I got Reece a heather blue more simple version of this tee for his first birthday and I will say that we got every penny out of that shirt - he wore it ALL the time!

Look at that sweet baby!

So the quality is great, the prices are doable because your kid will wear the shirt every other day!

Beer Caddy
By: Mustache and Kisses
$25

Friends, I must admit... I don't really love Valentine's Day.

I might be demoted from Girldom for admitting that. But Valentine's Day is tough for me.

I LOVE to give gifts, I totally rock Christmas. But I never know what to get Matt because it really is more of a girl holiday (that guys hate) because it's lovey dovey, full of flowers and hearts and all that shtuff.

But thank goodness for my Etsy Finds of the Week because I found an awesome gift that will the giftee will be SO thrilled to get!

Ladies, you are welcome (for finding your guy the gift he will love)!

These babies are made of cedar and have a handy bottle opener attached to the side.

Shipping is just over $12. Get it ordered ASAP! :)


Everyone have a great Thursday and I pray Tess takes a nap so I can work on Friday Favorites! :)

XXOO,
Allyson

Welcome to Thursday friends and another edition of Etsy Finds of the Week!

Pack of Proud Pooches Tea Towel
By: Mary Kilvert
$15.47

I have explained before my love of tea towels and how I am seasonal with them. I am also picky about the colors IN the tea towels -- they need to be bright when the seasons are brighter (spring, summer) and toned down when it's a more neutral season (fall, winter).

Then I found this shop and kind of threw all of my rules out!

This gal's stuff is adorable! And all would be great as house warming gifts, or small birthday gifts.

Mugs, aprons, tea towels, notebooks... and lots of just cute, fun prints!

She is English so none of this is surprising that I love it all!

Check it out!

 Doormat

By: Shop Josie B
$44

There are no words.

Because these doormats say it all for you!

I am obsessed with all of them!

Seriously, I have no words. Go look for yourself!!!

 Personalized Name Necklace
By: Caitlyn Minimalist

$29

I know I have talked about fun necklaces to purchase for Sloane that would be fun for her to wear around - the girl loves jewelry! And i feel like we have moved past the plastic jewelry, we are now on to real metals.

This necklace would be so cute with her name -- or what a great gift for a mom, girlfriend, best friend!

So simple and can be worn with other necklaces layering it!

Currently 40 percent off this necklace so get it while it's hot!


Everyone have a great day and we will see you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites!

Etsy Finds of the Week

Happy Thursday friends! We are counting down the days until the weekend at the Clark household so we can FINALLY go meet our sweet nephew/cousin Anderson in Kansas City! We were suppose to go last weekend, but then the ice storm of the century was to happen in Kansas City so we cancelled (and then the ice storm of the century was a semi-bust because OF COURSE it would be). But we are ready for the weekend for sure!

 

Bentonville Print

By: Paper Finch Design

$12 

One day, far far away, when we are in our forever home, I have a goal to get framed prints up on an office wall of all the places we have lived. 

I have a great picture that I took of the Keeper of the Plains in Wichita. I have an awesome print of all the neighborhoods in Minneapolis. Now, I just need this. 

This store has good style and you can get all sorts of things from pillows to prints to coffee mugs... 

Check it out! 

Planner Inserts
By: To Insanity and Back
$3

We all know my love for a good planner! Last year, I had the Happy Planner and LOVED it -- it's only $20 for gloriousness! This year I am testing out the Erin Condren. We are 19 days in and I kind of miss my Happy Planner (how RIDICULOUS does that sound)!

Anywho, my mom bought the Happy Planner this year and bought some inserts from an Etsy seller specifically for her planner. She had a meal planning insert, a budget insert, etc. So cool! So did some searching and found a few for my planner which is what I'm showing you. An insert for meal planning is SO great!!

This particular seller has so many options of inserts for your planner -- things you didn't even realize you needed! :) 

Toddler Fox Ear Warmer
By: The Endless Stitch

$20

Welp. You got me at fox. 

Sloane had a hat VERY similar to this and it was THE cutest thing ever. It was also funny because she got it when that ridiculous "What's A Fox Say?" YouTube video came out. 

So my Tess has to have this! 

There are some other cute things in the store, but this is my favorite! 

See you tomorrow for some great Friday Favorites! 

XXOO,

Etsy Finds of the Week

Good morning friends and welcome to the first Etsy Finds of the Week of 2017!

If you haven't read a few of my last posts, let me catch you up to speed:

• My husband is starting a new job.

• It's in Chicago.

• Therefore we are moving to Chicago.

• Hopefully not until school is out.

That's the gist!

So now when I'm on Etsy, I will have a little more purpose as I'll be hunting for new decor items for the next house we are in. Even though I don't know where that will be or what the house will look like. But you always need some new stuff to put in your 'new' house, right?!

Magnolia Wreath
By: Charming Pine
$55 +

Ever since Chip and JoAnna Gaines came into my life, I have been needing a magnolia wreath in my life. And really, I had never seen a magnolia tree until we moved to Bentonville. They are SO incredibly pretty and I wish that I could have one in all of my future yards! 

Chip and Jo sell these wreaths in their store, but I did a little searching and found this one that I really like. I'd love to have a real one, and I found a  few sites that sell them on Etsy, but I don't especially love them when the leaves have dried up, which would inevitably happen in my house. I kill all plants.

This one is the most real-like with faux leaves. And this is probably the best price you will find for a faux Magnolia wreath! Would love it on a front door or as a decor piece inside. 

Good reveiws and some really cute items in this shop if you're a Fixer Upper fan! Check it out! 

House Shaped Shelf

By: Purple Pollen
$60

I'm not sure how many of you moms out there have daughters who are obsessed with Shopkins.

But I am one of those moms. 

These tiny little... things... have taken over my life. I don't even know what they are! But I know they are small and everywhere! 

Sloane got a Shopkin case for Christmas and I truly thought that would help. But it hasn't, they are still everywhere!

So when I saw this adorable house, I thought BOOM! Kill two birds with one stone. Sloane needs stuff for her walls and a place to put her Shopkins and this will be perfect! 

They can be painted any color you'd like and this seller has really good reviews! 

 Rustic EAT Sign
 By: Pine Ridge Designs

$36

Well crap. I'm definitely going to have to get this. It's adorable and perfect for a kitchen or dining area!

Color options are endless but I'd stay simple and do white probably. And all letters are distressed and sanded for this same look.

Seller has really good reviews and can ship in 6-8 days! Fun gift idea for someone. Or yourself.

In my case, for myself. :) 

Happy Thursday everyone!

XXOO,
Allyson

Etsy Finds of the Week

Happy Thursday everyone! Another week almost down, another week closer to Christmas.

This makes me so happy and so anxious at the same time -- still have a few gifts left to get and a few reminders to my husband of gifts he is suppose to get!

Oh well... until then, some Etsy Finds of the Week that might help with your Christmas shopping (even though you all probably have had yours done for two weeks like my sister. Insert jealous eye roll).

Hair Tie Bracelets

By: Leftbanks SV

$18.50

I'm not sure if you are one of the other 185 million women in the world that wear a hair tie around their wrist.

I am not one of those women. My sister is.

And I don't know about you, but I feel like this option is a bit cuter and maybe safer than wrapping a blood-constricting elastic hair around your wrist! 

These are really cute and look like bracelets! 

Straight from the site: 

• They come in a gold or silver finish.
• They are high quality stainless steel.
• Are polishable to achieve a high gloss shine.
• Nickel free & Hypoallergenic.
• Will not tarnish or turn your wrist green.
• Finish is smooth and will not bubble with time or wear.
• Comes with black hair tie.

There you have it! I highly recommend! Fits a extra small to extra large wrist. Great stocking stuffer!

Cranberry Spice Mini Bath Bomb

By: Kiyi Kiyi
$4

Three things about this find.

OK, maybe four.

1) I love baths.

2) I love bath bombs.
3) I love cranberry.

4) Awesome stocking stuffer idea! 

I think that's enough for you to buy this immediately! :) The seller says this smells like cranberry with a splash of pine. Like you're swimming in a Christmas tree bath!

This bath bomb is made with moisturizing apricot kernal oil, cocoa butter and shea butter - a perfect relaxation treat! 

Everything is made in Minnesota (which I can verify is a good thing) - they have lots of options on bath bombs, soaps, lip balms, etc. 

Please check them out! 

Oh Holy Night Pillar Candle

By: PCB Home
$9

This seller has got me again! I was just scrolling through Christmas gift ideas and this page popped up, followed by this adorable candle! 

It's definitely unique -- and would be so cute up on a black pedestal candle holder on a mantle!

These pillar candles come in various sizes so the prices vary. 

Please check this seller out if you haven't yet! Lots of great Christmas ideas for family, friends... or yourself! :) 

Happy Etsy shopping everyone!

XXOO,
Allyson

Etsy Finds of the Week

Happy Thursday to everyone! I almost did Friday Favorites in hope that maybe we could just skip right over Thursday, but ... here I am. Doing my Thursday Etsy Finds of the Week.

It will be fine.

It's almost Friday. :)

Here we go!

Travel Lego Playmat
By: Bee Sew Happy Boutique

$25

I am always on the hunt for toys and games that are easy to pickup, but this playmat serves as double-duty: easy to pick-up and easily transportable!

I love that we could grab this and take it with us to the grandparent's house for the weekend or just to play with on a long car ride (because we take so many)!

There are many different options of 'scenery', and it folds up and velcroes to stay together! There are big pockets on one side to keep toys in - my Reece loves Hot Wheels cars, so he would zoom them across this all day long!

The seller has really good reviews and can ship in 2-7 business days. Great gift idea for a kiddo in your life! 

Light Box Vintage Style Sign

By: The Leading Lights
$30

I know I've talked about these boxes before because they've become fairly popular recently, but I love how you can change out the text for a special event or a holiday! 

Plus this specific box comes with 85 letters and symbols, so surely you could find a clever sign to create! :) It measures 30 x 22 x 6 (cm) so it's not going to take over a huge space, but the perfect size to place on a mantle! 

Shipping IS $12, but the box is only $30 so I think it's a heck of a deal!!! It's ready to ship and the seller has good reviews, so add this to your Christmas gift list! 

Kid Umbrellas

By: Sweethearts Southern 2

$14

So, my kids love umbrellas! They love umbrellas when it's raining, when it's not raining, in the bathtub. They love them. 

And we can't seem to keep them - they get destroyed easily, which is why I was hunting for an inexpensive version and I found it!

My kids would love that it's clear so they can see out and it's big enough that there is a chance they might not get soaked! :)

You can choose the style of monogram you want and the colors. Currently everything is 10% off in the shop, so now is the time to buy! 

Everyone have a great day and we will see you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites!

XXOO,
Allyson
