{find + seek…knitted}

cool etsy finds


it’s been awhile since i did a cool etsy finds post – with the cold weather a-brewing, i’ve got chunky knit throws and cableknit sweaters on the mind!  i wish i could say that i know how to knit but my utter lack of patience has prevented me from learning the craft.  until i learn, i guess i’ll just stick to enjoying others work!

{etsy find + seek…creepy}


it’s funny how certain images can send shivers up your spine…just a simple white night dress can bring up images of lizzy borden.  and don’t even get me started on the creepiness of doll faces.

taken in a different setting some of these things may not have that creepy feeling…but combined…ooOOOOooooOOOOoooo!

{etsy find + seek…air mail}


don’t you love the allure of air mail – the thought of sending or receiving mail from far flung places.  although, given the choice, i’m pretty sure we’d all prefer to be sending it!  if you could go anywhere, where would you travel?  for me, it would be anywhere in europe (although i’d love to start with italy!)

plaid


august seemed to fly by – it’s hard to believe it’s september already!  i’m thinking i better start getting used to the idea of fall!  for some reason, i’ve been completely drawn to plaid lately – think i need to get myself a cute plaid shirt or bag for fall – that’ll help make my transition easier!! (grin)

oh and had to tell you – just started ordering product for the store!!! only 6 more weeks or so…

{find + seek…back to school}

school


it’s hard for me to believe – but kids are going back to school!  some are already back.  before september??  that seems cruel – august is still summer – school shouldn’t be in session when the pools are still open!!  

i have to say that one of my fave things as a kid was going school supply shopping.  not sure what it was – maybe it was the possibilities they offered.  and of course finding the coolest folder!  how about you – what were your fave supplies?

woods


we’re going camping this weekend – finally.  i’m looking forward to escaping the city, hiking, playing games, getting my zen on in front of the fire and just getting lots of fresh air (oh and eating plenty of s’mores!!) nothing is better than sitting in front of the campfire and just talking…ooh and telling ghost stories (somehow ours always end up more silly than scary!) what are some of your favorite summer activities?

what’s on my mind lately?  a weekend getaway full of fresh air, campfires and, of course, lots & lots of s’mores (ever try making them with peanut butter cups?  i swear, you won’t go back).  sadly nothing is on the calendar…yet!
