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.

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.

This hand-knitted armchair slip cover from Biscuit Scout looks so cozy and cute! These are made by knitting with multiple strands of wool and huge needles to create giant over sized knitting. You can have them made totally custom for any chair. So cool.

Loving everything from Fine Little Day. “Fine Little Day is a multidisciplinary art and design platform and brand. Sprawling, impulsive and inconsistent. It is not faithful to any single line and does not have the ambition to be cohesive or even well thought through. Fine Little Day specializes in playful creating based on pleasure and joy.” What a wonderful philosophy!

Today I decided to do a mini round-up of some of my favorite coasters. Maybe blogging about them will help remind me to use them! I’ve got to stop making rings on our cool wooden trunk coffee table. Ugh!

1. Bamboo Type Coasters from ACD I actually bought these coasters for Brian last year for his birthday because were both huge type nerds. We love them!
2. Doily Coasters from uncommon
3. Porcelain Knitwear Coasters from alyssa ettinger design
4. Celestial Coasters from Anthropologie These come in four gorgeous colors.

The Sunday Times Market is an Etsy vintage shop run by David and Ashley, a husband & wife design team. They certainly have some of best product photography I’ve seen on Etsy. I love all the mid century items. Just looking at their shop you really get a sense that they took a lot of care in choosing what to present in their shop. I want everything!



Kate from For Me, For You has featured these amazing arrows before and now has a set in her adorable apartment! Jealous!

Happy Monday! Thought I’d share some cute fungi themed finds. I think the combination of start of spring and the local flora biology class I am taking this semester have me extra fascinated with botanical specimens! The beautiful print above is by Dana Ray and available in her shop Groundwork. These cutie mushrooms are from Handy Hand’s Corner!
