These are the coolest stickers ever!!! Cafe con Leche sells lots of amazing art stickers featuring the art of Roi and Ines as well as artwork from some very talented guest artists. I’m definitely buying some to put all over my notebooks for next semester.

Happy Monday! Over the weekend I was lucky enough to stumble upon a bunch of old toy arrows at an antique market, so I’m using them as the inspiration for this post. Here are some arrow items on Etsy I love!

Bent Arrow ring from PoisonAppleNYC

Red, White, & Black Arrows from Verla Ivans

Arrow tee-shirt and briefs sets from Recession.

Happy Friday all! What a whirlwind week it has been. It was moving week for Brian & I and now we are officially moved into our new house. Now to begin the laborious putting away/setting up phase. I get a little anxious at times because some parts of the house still look like scenes from Hoarders! EEK!
These adorable planters by my house party are good representations of what the house feels like right now! Cramped, hectic, and exploding with energy! I’d love one in my kitchen.

I love Nadinoo, a unique London based clothing label, where each style is carefully designed and handmade by British designer Nadia Izruna. I want everything. The fabric on the blouse and dress are beyond gorgeous.

Trace is a young crafter/blogger who recently caught my eye. You can see his lovely photography on the it’s all just menagerie blog. (I’m obsessed with the chandelier photo!) He also makes some very fine vintage recycled journals available in his Etsy shop! Right now in his shop 20% of all profits now go to the National Wildlife Foundation in support of cleaning up the oil spill and helping the animals in the Gulf of Mexico. Bravo!

Ah so many pretty fun things to look in Kristena Derrick’s Etsy shop Thimbly Things. I’m such a fan of embroidery hoop art and I really love the fun patterned fabric she uses. These give me warm fuzzies.
