Etsy Find Wednesdays! #3

Falling for fall :) I love fall and love to decorate the house with fall-ish stuff. Here is my favorite fall item for the home and my... not so favorite:

Awesomely Awesome:

This pair of pillow covers from SFOQuilter @ $22.00 for 2 is a classy pick to bring fall in the living room. I love the mod pattern and colors used :) I just have to convince C that this is a necessary purchase! (it's cool that you can take the cover off and it would take up less space to store!)

Awesomely Awful:

This toilet cover from Kimsclassycommodes costs $44 dollars... that alone repels me. Who would pay $44 dollars to cover their toilet in this? Well, maybe my MIL! I never consider the toilet in my "must decorate" for the holidays list... to each his own I guess!

Count Your Blessings Tuesday #2

Today I am grateful for:

1. Being well enough to be at work and not use up more sick days.

2. The patience that God has given me to deal with my child... God knows I need it some days!

3. My husband who continues to be supportive of everything I set out to do.

4. My in-laws who come and relieve us of our parental duties for a few hours AND spoil our child for us.

5. The warm and inviting home that I have despite of it being a mess half the time ;)

6. Life and the time to enjoy it!

Today's picks are just in time for fall... those key items you need for the cool fall weather!

At $55 dollars you can carry around three flying disks for a pickup frisbee game AND keep warm at the same time. I think what's best about this is the model and the badly placed branches that make her look like she has horns. In any case, if you'd like to purchase this lovely item, check out thebeachcomberstudio.

A little pricey at $62 dollars but very chic and has been featured in a few magazines. Check out necklush on Etsy!

Count Your Blessings Tuesday

I want to take a moment every week to count my blessings which, thankfully, are many. I am thankful to be blessed with the following:

1. A cancer-free mom! It was caught early enough that the cancer could be removed yesterday.

2. Having a husband who is 100% supportive and helpful-- especially now that he has to take care of both morning and night time routines on Mondays.

3. For being able to continue my "get healthy" initiative and purchase and elliptical... C and I want to be dead sexy by next summer :)

4. A healthy, happy and super smart kid who is my joy and my life.

5. Friends who are supportive of my photography business and are helping to put my name out there.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Etsy Find Wednesdays!

I've decided that every Wednesday I'm going to post an awesome Etsy find and one awesomely awful Etsy find. For those of you that don't know... Etsy is a website that brings together all sorts of crafty people and they sell their creative creations! I'm addicted.

Awesomely Awesome:

This pendant is so cute and rustic. I'm a fan of letter writing and wax seals just scream "romantic" to me. At $26 dollars it's not so bad a find. Check out RitzyMisfit's shop!

Awesomely Aweful:

For $209 dollars you too can own a diamond and silk bib! When the heck would you wear this? In any case... it's definitely not my style but if it's yours... check out BejewelledBeSpoke's shop!
