6 Etsy Shops in My “Favorite” Files

While tooling around on etsy.com this weekend, I rediscovered the "Add Seller to Favorites" tool that I had somehow forgotten (where have I been??). Here are a few stores I had apparently filed away.

[I love finding stuff like this again--it's like that feeling you get when you reach into the pocket of a pair of jeans you haven't worn in a while and find a $20 bill. Score!]

1. Julia Sherry Designs

2. Adrienne Wong

3. Studio KMO

4. Slide Sideways

5. Kilroy and Maw

6. CAMDEN + CAKE

Sorry, O'Charley

With all due respect, I could care less about St. Patrick's Day. Green beer, people pretending to be Irish, crowded parades, "they're after me Lucky Charms" jokes? Yawn.

More important, my pale, pasty-white skin (probably a gift, in part, from my good ole Irish ancestors) looks terrible in almost any shade of green. And that's why I am dedicating this St. Patty's post to a current favorite (and more flattering) color combo: navy and apricot.

Enjoy. And top o' the mornin', ya'll.

Ironing-board covers? Ironing-board covers.

You might have thought it was impossible. But after today, I am here to bear witness: yes, friends, it IS possible to have an hour-long conversation about ironing-board covers.

When that hour-long conversation results in a surprisingly delightful search on etsy.com, however, it might have just been well worth the time.

Please, do enjoy the fruits of my labor:

(And P.S., props especially to CityChicCountryMouse. Who knew ironing boards could bring so much colorful froot-loopian fun to my day?)
