I know it's not Wednesday, but it's been such a long time.




Loving this gold necklace.  So dainty!







This pillow is just too cool.  (And so is Irina.)








There's something so happy about this little brooch
(And you know I loves me a good brooch.)








I don't know what I would do with these tiles,
but I really feel like I must have them somewhere in my home.
( check out this entire shop chock full of awesome things.)




So. 



{ Can you guess the theme? }






Sometimes I feel like Etsy is just exploding with cool things.

Click for moar.


Here are some of them.


{ what's blowing your mind right now? }




I may have a slight addiction to long, delicate necklaces.

Find some of these lovelies from Etsy here and here.


I had the hubbers hang this tree branch hook (please excuse the light switches!), and now everytime I see it,
I'm in love all over again.



I've even started to make my own.  Any guesses which ones?
