Fabulous Friday Finds ...

Happy Friday!! 

I'm back again with another installment of "Fabulous Friday Finds"! If your a new reader I'll fill you in on what "Fabulous Friday Finds" is all about. 

Each week I choose a theme, search Etsy for nine fabulous items which fit this particular theme, create a beautiful collage, and showcase it here on Friday. What treasure's have I found this week? Read on to find out ...

While the weather is 

warm let's take a trip

"The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?"

This week each chosen item is either handmade or repurposed. Every item is numbered, and direct links to each Etsy shop are listed below the collage, if you'd like to see more from a particular artist.

Enjoy :)

A Little Laughter to Start Your Day ...

...The Talking Rooster!

Your probably wondering what in the world I could possibly be talking about, right? A talking rooster?? 

 If you'd like to find out more, watch this silly little video I took of Autumn hanging with her rooster-friend. I was trying so hard not to laugh in the background. How that rooster doesn't attack is beyond me. Oh yea, it's Autumn ~ animals love her!

Tomorrow I will be back with my "Fabulous Friday Finds" blog post. If your new to my blog, this is when I choose a theme, search Etsy for nine handmade, repurposed and/or vintage items which fit this theme, then create a collage which I showcase here. There's always a direct link to each shop if you'd like to see more from a particular artist. 

I'm also always looking for new theme ideas, or items to be featured. If you have an idea for a theme, or your an Etsy seller with an item you'd like to be considered for a feature, just send me a message! I'd love to hear from you! 

Also beginning Friday evenings and lasting through the weekend, is my new "No Rules Blog Party"! This is where you submit your thumbnail linky and go! No rules to tie you down. (Of course if you follow me or comment I ALWAYS return the ♥).

Each weekend the party has been growing a little bigger. Please help me make this party a success by linking up with me!

Thanks!!

Cupcake Bonanza!

Who doesn't love a good cupcake? 
I know I cannot resist those cute little cakes!
What makes them even better is when they are decorated all fancy. Actually makes me think a moment about destroying the perfect little cake ~ but only for a moment :) 

 Take a look at these sweet masterpieces I've come across.
 They're drool-worthy and pin-worthy!

Or would you rather buy from the bakery?

I think they are delicious either way ;)

Be sure to stop back after noontime today for my Wordless Wednesday Blog Party! 

I wanna see what you've got!

Style Crush ...

Normally I'm not the "flowery" type.  

Yes I love real flowers, but flowery prints just sometimes annoy me.  That is until I began seeing the latest wave of products bursting with this  retro style print.  I'm not sure what it is about this particular craze, but I'm loving it!

Here's a look at some cool, 

NEW products featuring this style.
