I have stumbled upon a gold mine!

Etsy.com, that is!

I know that it has been out there for a while and I'm just late to jump on board. But, man-oh-man, what a wonderful website! I have been browsing it for the last few days and just ohhhing and awwwing over some of the coolest things.

As you know, I'm a crafter so this website has a string tied directly to my heart. We are in the middle of another winter storm and I've also been sick. So-what better to do then spend the days the with some nice warm coffee and perusing the pages of Etsy. I have actually found so many thing that I like that I have created a folder in my bookmarks titled Etsy Finds. 


Just when you think that you have reached the end of looking... check again, because there is more that will catch your eye. 

Here are some of the things that I found that I really, really, reeeaaaallly like!

I'm a sucker for holiday/seasonal decor and I think that this lil' snowman is too stinkin' cute! Snowmen decorations are great because they are more than just for Christmas. They can stay up all winter, which in Ohio can last for like 5 months! 

Etsy read my mind! I have been searching for places to get one of these family name signs made for our house. Looks like I've found the place :o) 

Below is a charm that I think would make an excellent Valentines Day gift, hint hint! I mean the sample in the photo even has the correct initial on it. I'm pretty simple when it comes to wearing jewelry and this is right up my alley. My sister also has charms, similar to this but hers have her daughters names on them. I've admired it for a long time and now I've found where to get one. 


Cross-body hipster bag... sign me up! I'm not sure what it is about this style of purse... but I love them! I have tried other styles of purses and I always fall back to buying this style. I can't stand carrying a purse under my arm or having to hold it in my hand. Not sure why, I just do not like it. Needless to say, this bag and I were love at first sight! 

I thought this was so clever! I have seen casserole carriers like this before. They are usually sold with the casserole dish and are a solid color, made of a quilted material- boring! I must say I've not  seen one this cute! Something you might know about me by now is that I love to cook! We also travel to family gatherings and such fairly often and we are always taking food.  I think this would be a good investment to my kitchen accessories...whatta' ya think? 


Last but not least, I found something for Kelso! Couldn't you see him wearing this adorable doggie bow tie? As an added bonus it's the colors of The Cleveland Browns! Kelso's birthday is coming up and this might just be the perfect gift. 


Well, there you have it my very own personalized, tour de Esty! I really want to encourage you to take some time and check it out. If you don't see anything that you are drawn to on your maidien visit... check back in a few weeks. New vendors are poping up with great things all the time! 

I should start turning my crafty wheels and think of something to sell on Etsy. Let the wheels start rollin'... Hummmm....?
