Etsy Love: Roaring Dinosaurs for Our Inner Paleontologist

DinosaursIf you know me at all, then you’ll know that I’ve been counting down the days until Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom stomps into theaters THIS Friday!!! Aren’t you as excited as I am?? In fact, I even have a super fun sponsored post all about dinosaurs coming up on Thursday, so get yourself pumped for that!! I mean, it’s totally ME…do you remember that time last summer when I took a selfie with Sue??

In honor of the new Jurassic World movie, I went on the Etsy hunt for all things dinosaurs! And, whoa, are the finds wonderful, indeed! Here are 5 dynamic dinosaur finds for the paleontologist within all of us, starting with this T-Rex planter ($20)…

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
