fav etsy finds: november

I had planned to show you the plans for our bathroom renovation today but I've been so busy working with our contractors on the kitchen and getting new projects going that my own are beginning to take a backseat.  So today I'll give you tomorrow's post: my favorite Etsy finds for November.

I am an admitted Etsy scavenger.  I love finding amazing, handmade goods that aren't widely available at your local big box or chain stores.  And this holiday season, everyone on my gift list better count on receiving at least one handmade item from a shall shop.

So here we go - my favorite Etsy finds for November:

1_ Dandelion Watercolor Print by Marisa Redondo, River Luna

2_ Wall Storage Pockets, Lost Pigeon

3_ Cream Layered Scallop Bucket, Jenna Rose Handmade

4_ Petite Coffee Table in White, Solid Mfg Co.

5_ Seafoam Green Dot Bowl with Handle, Fringe and Fettle Ceramics

6_ Chevy Pillow Cover, Leah Duncan

in the making: etsy shop!

i'm usually always making something. it seems to be my natural state. and not all of my projects end up completed, but occasionally I stumble upon an idea that I can totally get lost in creating.

so, in order to capture the hearts of all of my {potential} new fans, I've made a small line of hand-stitched cards for valentines's day. simple sentiments in an un-fussy format. I hope you all enjoy and check back for shop updates. I promise more to come in the next month as I get all of this figured out and, perhaps, following a much-needed photography class (please forgive my sub par postings).
