So I have become a complete Etsy fanatic! For those of you who don't know, is a website where anyone who makes anything can sell their wares. There are SO many creative homemade items and vintage pieces on this website, it is a shopper's dream (and can be very overwhelming!). For my first purchase, I found these adorable knitted owl toboggans for the girls. The seller is Babeestiches and she makes some adorable items! I am seriously about to snatch this giraffe toboggan up for Lilly (as if she needs two toboggans) ...
While I was in a creative mood (and clearly a mood to shop), Mom and I also found some beautiful jewelry, the proceeds of which go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I found this necklace at Lora Elizabeth Stamped Jewelry . This woman's jewelry is beautiful, but even more important, she created this piece with her daughter, Grace, in mind, who has Cystic Fibrosis. When I saw it, I had to have it.
It is a good thing I budgeted for Christmas or I would never be able to afford my new expensive habit of shopping for unique, handmade items!
P.S. If you are inspired to check out Etsy, you should also check out my Nanny's Etsy site - Whimsy Bits by Ash. She made matching t-shirts for Liv and Lilly like this one...
And matching pompom t-shirts like this one...
And a necklace like this one for me for my birthday!
As you can tell, she is very talented!
