Do I have to chose?
As an lover of etsy (an online marketplace for handmade, vintage goods and supplies) and a shop owner of Bates Mercantile Co. I am lucky to be exposed to the most wonderful things on a daily basis. Here's some of my recent favorites:
Grandma Moses never looked so good. I love this pillow..........

.....from the people in the wagon, to the man in the barn, to the snow on the rooftops. Charming.
I've noticed a few things with dandelions recently, including this easy-as-pie tutorial by Lucy at Craftberry Bush........so dainty.

One more pop of color. Happy little fabric rings. You could wear a different one for each day of the week.

I'd love to know which of today's favorites speak to you? Do share, won't you?
Love all the finds - I'm getting into anything fall/winter now too. The pillow reminds me of a vintage puzzle that was framed and hanging on the wall of our house two decades ago.
ReplyDeleteI love it! My mom saves some ofher puzzles and hangs them. It reminds me of the song....Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go......
ReplyDeleteI am still not quite ready to give up summer though. Guess I don't have a choice in the matter tomorrow though.
You have such an interesting blog and I really like these picks. That antler cribbage board is quite amazing - especially with the bottle. What a pleasant visit. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words bonnie. Stick around! Nice to have you here.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finds on Etsy, I'm very flattered to have been included amongst them! I love hgrillo's fabric rings.
