Etsy Love: Whimsical Stained Glass Feathers

Stained Glass FeathersIt’s time to be honest about something: I fully blame Facebook for my heightened Etsy addiction of late. I’ll be mindlessly scrolling through my feed and — BAM — I start seeing ads for pretty trinkets and baubles. One right after the other, so I must click on each one, naturally — I mean, wouldn’t you?? For example, take a gander at all the stained glass feathers and all their home decor possibilities from The Sweet Karma Bar…

Aren’t these items pretty?? I’d love to hang them in a place where they’d stream a lot of light and give the room a soft glow, especially at dusk during these tranquil summer nights!

Stained Glass FeathersPlus, my inner word lover can’t get enough of the shop’s tagline: “My side of the looking glass.” How’s that for an awesome play on words?!?!?

Do you have a favorite stained glass beauty, friends?? Are you a fan of the home decor look in general? xoxo

💎 Etsy Love: Bright and Shiny Gemstone Rings 💍

Gemstone Rings Gemstone RingsHow gorgeous are these shiny gemstone rings from Lara Mogensen on Etsy?

I have a history of gravitating toward all things delicate and dainty when it comes to jewelry, but I’m starting to appreciate the beauty of a gigantic pop of brightness — a bling of pizzazz, if you will. I may be a tad quiet and on the demure side sometimes, but I can also be loud and flashy at other times, so how cool to have a pretty piece that perfectly reflects my personality!  Try saying that one 10 times fast!

And I love the idea that the two fashion styles can both be my favorite — maybe they could even exist simultaneously? Or would that be too much of a fashion faux pas? You know I’m forever learning about the dos and don’ts of style.

Etsy Love: The Most Elegant Emerald Ring

Emerald Ring Emerald RingGah! How pretty and oh-so-perfect is this emerald ring from Etsy shop JUVELART? Don’t mind me while I’m ooohing and ahhhing like a true fangirl over here!

I don’t know what it is, but I’m starting to really love emeralds. It’s not even my birthstone, but it’s such a beautiful color. A deep green that just feels so calming, you know? Plus, emerald stones are called the stones of love, and you all know I’m all about love! They also promote hope and compassion, which we could all use a little more of — both for ourselves and others.

Emerald RingSo, friends, there’s your little stone lesson for the day! What do you think? Aren’t you loving this emerald ring?? And, what’s your all-time favorite stone?? xoxo

Etsy Love: Pretty Planters For Warm Spring Days

Planters PlantersHappy May Day! Breaking news: I went outside yesterday…and it was actually WARM!! I don’t want to jinx anything, but I think the spring is here to stay! So, to celebrate, how cute are these pretty planters from JasmineSupply, whose products “Improve your living space and celebrate spring year round.”

Now that the sun is shining on the regular (yay for young-people speak!), I’ll be on the lookout for flower planters on my spring and summer walks. I love the idea of placing one in the window sill — although I fear that Stella would jump up and knock it over!

PlantersAre you a fan of springtime planters, friends? Do you have any around the house right now? Bonus points if they’re super bold colors!! The brighter, the better, right?? xoxo

P.S. More planter love: Bike, ceramic faces and quirky designs!
