A few favorite things from some sweet shops I discovered on Etsy this week...

How cool is this pipe bookshelf by Stella Blue Designs? and I am so tempted by this charming little tea cart - it's only $75! Also love these sleek and simple sphere vases by Rou Designs, a mother and daughter team based out of Long Island (isn't that sweet?) and I'm glad I stumbled upon Fortune by Kim Dulaney - it was hard to choose a favorite of her one of a kind pieces. Case and point: this awesome necklace and this awesome necklace. Actually, I'd like one of everything. And if you're looking for colorful photography and interesting compositions, be sure to check out September Wren.

1. Industrial pipe bookshelf by Stella Blue Designs $135 2. Light teal brass bracelet by Fortune $34 3. Pair of sphere vases by Rou Designs $42 4. Mid century big wheel tea cart from Davey's vintage $75 5. Ferris wheel photo by September Wren $14

Good news: Etsy is back to its old layout! In appreciation, I did some serious browsing. Here's what I found:

1. Vintage Indian Summer Chair 2. Layered Gold Geometric Square Earrings 3. Boat Fabric  4. Silk Screen Printed Sketch Book

I couldn't choose one favorite among this week's etsy wishlist, so I'll tell you a bit about them all.

Indian vs Indian is such a cool shop to look through because of its unified style. I can't stop thinking about their vintage camping stools (& all their other awesome chairs) and how great they'd look on my balcony.

These lovely earrings by Jamie Cox from Deuce struck my fancy, and looking through her shop I realized I love everything she makes - all from vintage materials. I'd site some other favorites, but it was too hard to pick so definitely check out her shop.

How cute is this boat fabric from Aunt June? Also love the feathers fabric on these bags. 

And last but certainly not least, this awesome "Heck Yes" sketchbook from slide sideways, because who wouldn't be pumped to sketch or write in this? Pay them a visit for other fun handmade goods. Have a lovely Sunday!

My favorite recent find on etsy has to be these gorgeous little embroidered 'tapestry collages' (1) by ginnyleedesigns. I could stare at any one of her works for hours. Honorable mention goes to this boombox pouch -  because who doesn't need a little pouch to carry makeup, coins or other miscellaneous items around? The fabric is handprinted canvas making it even more awesome. 

1. Bubble Pond, Acadia Tapestry Collage $165 2. Beat That Case $20 3. Chrysoprase cushion ring $145 4. Return to Summer original fine art photograph $35

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Mine was packed full of birthday and engagement celebrations, brunches, poolside lounging and trips to the park with the dogs, but I still made time to peruse etsy late this afternoon - a good enough excuse to escape the blistering heat outside. My favorite find is fabulousmess, a shop full of funky home goods that I can't afford like this crazy awesome hot pink and silver loveseat. Its fun imagining up interiors where these eclectic goods would fit right in. I can, however, afford these brass flamingos from there, which seem to belong on either side of my fireplace...

1. I love you more than shark week print $20 2. brass flamingo $28 3. beaded leaf cotton tee $87 4. blue lapis drop necklace $49.50

Browsing etsy is one of my favorite procrastination techniques - it's like a treasure hunt where you always find cool stuff or inspiring ideas. Here are my finds this week - I'd have to say my favorite is Jo Chambers and StudioLegohead. She does these funny little dog portraits that have more personality than any others I have seen. If you are or know a dog lover, these are worth checking out.  

1. vintage chain collection bracelet $59 2. magazine/book rack $95 3. pug card $4 4. elmer the elephant planter & succulent $20

After seeing photos from Australia's Fashion Week (and a momentary lapse in judgement: see note on skinny toy watches), I decided to look on Etsy for some dainty little rings and of course found some other lovely things as well. My favorite discovery has to be Please Be Still and Jen Renninger's work. Her whimsical prints are so fun and girly, I just can't decide which one I want yet. I love her Words to Live by series and looking through portfolios on her website was inspiring to say the least. Anyhoo, here's my etsy wishlist this week. 

1. hammered stack ring $26 2. vintage side stools $60 3. make something good today print $39 4. vintage wall sconces $22 5. decorative figurine $39
