Etsy Take Five Tuesday
I need to be brief, I’m on the fly and it’s getting late… but I could not miss Etsy Take Five Tuesday this week because there are some real gems to share. No detailed descriptions this time around boys and girls… just pure sticky sweet eye candy glowing from the screen. Here you go — my five picks for the week. I do hope that you enjoy them. The first find is a riot.. I want the lemon print AND the pink heart ‘cos Home is where the heART is!
Dear Colleen has bright and cheery stationery for spring. Gotta love the wisdom in this print, “When life hands you lemons make a gin and tonic.” A woman after my own heart.
Bella Drummer art, gift tags, and other pretty things…
One Canoe Two has loads of letterpress goodness but this amazing DIY town blew me away when I read about it on Handmade Charlotte today.
Wicked Mint in Brooklyn has some wicked awesome pillows.
Gingiber prints are quirky and colorful and well, they just make me smile.

I do love Dear Colleen. I like the use of bakers twine. Those would be lovely to pack up spring cupcakes for a dear friend.

Thanks for including my pillows! This is very exciting, I feel famous :)
I get a lot of emails asking me about the chair in the photos. Believe it or not, I found it on the street in Brooklyn (not even the fear of bed bugs would keep me away) and had it reupholstered. I wrote a little blog on it here:

I personally believe that everyone needs fancy stationary. Something about it just takes me back and makes me feel elegant writing a hand-written letter. That grey chair is amazing and looks so comfortable too!
