Etsy

Yesterday I wore the infinity scarf that was in my FNO swag bag.  It was the perfect accessory to keep the chill off and looked great with a black sweater dress, tights and booties.  I decided to look for one that was more colorful.  That lead me to etsy's and Fruit of the Spirit where I found one that was exactly what I wanted.  Love the pattern and even how she styled it with a jean jacket.

 

  I can not wait for the election to be over.  I do think there should be a cap on the amount of money parties and special interest groups can spend on ads and mailers.  I live in a state where it could go either way and I look forward to no more robocalls!  I hope y'all voted today.  I have a book to read while I wait in line this afternoon.   I will make sure to eat a big lunch, cause I hear the lines are crazy long.

I'm on Fire

I'm a huge fan of Kindle.   I have the original keyboard and the Fire.  The plan was to share the Fire w/the hubs...  Well, I'm not very good when it comes to sharing.  He wanted to take it with him to Colorado for 11 days.  I said no, go get his own (I'm addicted to Scrabble) and that's what he did.   I had a plain Jane case since it was to be shared, and I gave him the old case & started a search for a fun case for me.  Kate Spade was no longer offered on Amazon so I turned to my favorite site for monogrammed items.... Etsy.

I was thrilled when I found Lovey Dovey Creations.  They have an amazing selection of sleeves, folios and cases for Kindles, Ipads and laptops.

The best part is that you can choose the background pattern and color for most products.   

I'm looking forward to receiving my sleeve.  They have a variety of other items they sell, so go check them out.  I'm thinking that the key chains would make perfect gifts for our next girls weekend.  

Oh so posh

If you have read my blog in the past you already know it is anonymous.  The main reason is job related.   I love my job, but it is what I do and does not define me.  I dislike when I meet someone new and the first thing out of their mouth is "What do you do?".  That is one of the reasons I decided to order calling cards for those I meet in non job related ways.  I came across Posh Girl Boutique on Etsy and had to place an order.  Traci offers such a vast selection that one is bound to be perfect for you.  She is super easy to work with and sends a proof of the design for your approval.  We ended up changing mine around and I must admit I LOVE the end result!  

Hope you like the peek of some of her offerings.  Check out her labels, note cards & other selections.

Another Etsy Score

I love the updated yet simple look of this necklace I found by Gems In Vogue on Etsy.  It was exactly what I was searching for without breaking the bank.  I plan to layer it with others and I convo'd the owner and she was great about shortening the length for me.   Makes me want to rush home and check my mailbox.   Would have looked great with my new boots I wore last night.   :)

Vintage via Etsy

I have been purchasing items from Etsy for a few years, but have never looked there for any clothing or purses.  After seeing some great finds on other blogs, I decided to look there the other day for a fun clutch.  I have too many purses already (according to the hubs) so I figured Etsy would be a cheaper & greener way to go about looking for a one.  Cyber shopping keeps a car off the road.  So I decided to look again and there are thousands to chose from.  I had a certain style I wanted and kept on going back to Honey Pie Vintage and was thrilled that they ship to the States.     Here is what it looks like. 

Now to try to find great dresses for summer.  Hmmm.... maybe I should learn how to sew.
