The Cons of Dog Ownership

I laughed so hard I almost peed myself when I saw this print. They're a lovely breed, but they have one pretty significant downside. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll contain himself if you come over for dinner :)

Hand-Printed

I ran across this Etsy shop full of gorgeous hand-printed linens, pillow, prints, cards, etc. I think you'll love Giardino as much as I do.

Valentine's Ideas via Etsy

Nine Months of Cookies. How fun would this be to give to your pregnant wife? 

Top of the Empire State Building. Love this view. So romantic. 

Love Ring Bowl. So sweet and simple. Beautiful photography too. 

Favorite Person Card. Don't we all want to get this card?

Woodgrain Ring. Shopping for a new wedding band for John. Too retro?

Stocking Stuffers | No. 1

Kitty shaped Crayons for little hands 

Sweet Lime Lipgloss. Yum. Reminds me of LipSmackers, but chemical free.

I'm obsessed with all things French. Here's some chic wine charms. 

Display your love on a journal. 

Have your coffee in style.

I Heart Seattle

I love cities. Somehow I fall in love with every big city I live in or visit. If you love cities too, this post series is for you. Fun stuff to celebrate your city. 

Starting out with the first big city I fell in love with. Here's to the Emerald City. 

The Space Needle from Lake Union. 

I Heart Washington Map. 

Hand Cut Map of Seattle.

Vintage Map Necklace.

Pikes Place Cafe Print

Halloween on Etsy

I'm home on the couch this week nursing a monster head cold. You know the kind where it feels like you're wearing a pumpkin as a head? After some special behind-the-counter medicine from the pharmacist today, I've been feeling good enough to cruise Etsy. As soon as I'm feeling up to it (tomorrow?) I'm going to drag out the Halloween tubs from the attic. I love buying a few new decorations every year to add to the collection. Here are a few fun ideas I saw today...

Raven on Books Vinyl Decal 

Coffee Stained Tag Banner 

Raven Silhouette Pillow 

"Creeping" Painting

Dancing Girl Press & Studio

I stumbled across Dancing Girl Press the other day while looking for schools supplies. I've keep coming back to look at more of their unique offerings. What a fun mix of vintage, paper & decor. Right up my alley. 

Some of my favorites to give as gifts are the Lotus Flower Necklace and Crochet Clutch. I'm ordering these Compass Tags and Typewriter Notes to have on hand for dressing up packages. 

Visit Dancing Girl Press & Studio and let me know what you can't live without. 

Vintage Pink

I don't live in a pink house. 


But if I did I'd hang some of these prints from Skippy Designs on my walls. Love the look of the washed out pink and blue. So pretty. 


These would look great frame-less, blown up in large sizes and printed on canvas. 


Go Pink. 

Little Brown Pen

I love these Paris images from Little Brown Pen. I love their eye for one bold color against neutral backgrounds. The green chairs in the photo below are my favorite. They have a unique mix of "classic" french photos as well as vintage finds. I plan on ordering a few prints to display together and this perpetual calendar. 

Byrdie Graphics

I'd really like some cool wallpaper in our next home, but I'll settle for fun vinyl art for the time being. Check out these fun designs from Byrdie Graphics.

I'm thinking the big blooms would look awesome above my headboard that gets a fabric face-lift every six months. Maybe the animals for the boy's room?
