Snapshots

Hey there!  Just a photo dump today!  I've been taking lots of pictures of everyday things as we get ready for Christmas around here.   Christmas makes me feel sooo warm and fuzzy!
Part of my collection of vintage bottlebrush trees.  I love them to death!
 Getting gift tags ready! (post coming up)
 My Creme Brulee latte from Starbucks and my J.Crew magazine.  Two awesome things.
 Air plants and ornaments.
In the crafting mood!  I love those.

Etsy Betsy

Hi there!  I'm here today to share a few finds from Etsy.  I realize the gift tags are a little late, but hey, you still have 10 days!  No. 1 is an awesome, minimalistic diamond print.  I love the geometric feel of it.  No. 2 is a wooden camera perfect for a budding photographer.  Some of the dials even turn as well as the lens, so it's sure to keep them snapping away!  No. 3 is a bright and cheerful 2013 calendar.  The season-appropriate artwork is so fun and it comes with a neat metal clip for hanging.  I want it – bad.  No. 4 is a beautiful wooden animal set for the kiddos.  You can tell I'm into the wood toys.  No. 5 is a super pretty cowl scarf.  She offers them in a myriad of colors, so you can choose whatever hue your heart desires.  This would be perfect for those cold snowy days haunting your local coffeehouse.  ;)  No. 6 is a geometric ornament DIY.  It stole my heart.  There are several color schemes to choose from, so go nuts!  Yes, I realize it's a little late this year, but get it for next year!  No. 7 is a vintage candle holder.  I cannot tell you how much I loooove this beauty.  It's white, which is perfect, and yes, that texture is from real tree bark.  What could be more awesome?  Nothing.  No. 8 are teal sweater gift tags.  If you are having a super late Christmas, you may be able to purchase them in time.  Anyway, do it for next year.  They are super cute, don't you agree?

I hope you enjoyed those Etsy finds!  Do have a happy weekend and I'll see you later!  xo, Ella

DIYed – Kiddo Tee

Hi there!  I just want to pop in and share a quick little DIY I found a while ago and tried this past weekend.  My two little brothers love any type of animal and especially on a shirt, so when I found this tutorial, I immediately wanted to make one for them for Christmas.
I won't go through the whole DIY, so here's the link.  The only thing I'm planning on doing differently is to give it a second coat.  I first outlined around the eyes, mouth, and bowtie before painting the inside, and it made it a little streaky, so I'm planning on giving it another coat of paint.  I had so much fun doing it and it was very easy.  Now all I have to do is give them another coat, and wrap them up for Christmas!  xo, Ella
