Turning Into A Shopper....Orange Finds!

First item found:
This train case from impulseART. My mom had one like this in blue when I was growing up.  I remember sitting and watching her get ready- pulling out each item one by one, applying it and then putting it back into the nice little pockets that line the case. I distinctly remember being very glad it didn't collapse under my weight when I stepped on it on one trip....very sturdy, these train cases.


Second item:
This quaint little tea cup from Ibagley. My mom and dad live in South Korea and bring/send/find all sorts of tea ALL of the time. I figure I might as well look like I have a sense of style while I down the gallons I'd have to drink to free up the shelves in my pantry.

Third item:
From parsonsparlor comes this comfy-looking chair in orange hounds tooth. From the tufts to the buttons and the delicious curves to the dark-stained legs...it wants to come to my house.



Fourth find:
This soft and squishy {I can imagine...} ORANGE  rug made from hand-dyed recycled t-shirts. How nice. Just a perfect amount of POP for where-ever! OH! From talkingsquid.

Last find {for now}...
A custom-made version of Marilyn Monroe's dress from "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds"- how AMAZING is that?!?! I never even THOUGHT...FATHOMED...CONSIDERED! I love it and all I'd have to do is pony up the cash. {ahem.} This opportunity can be found with DaintyRascal.

Turning Into A Shopper...

I'm not a big shopping fan. Not just clothes or home decor...food, too. I would rather do almost anything than go shopping. Scrub the floor...done. Pull some teeth...done. Clean the toilet- even that.

However. I must admit. I dooo love perusing Etsy, Shopify and the ever popular Pinterest. Usually its for inspiration or to find things {let's be honest} I can copy and do myself. However, I've decided to practice shopping without any additonal action on my part...and you get to come along. :) 

These Twinkle Sparkers from Giant Dwarf would be terrific for my soon-to-be 10 year-old going back to school. She's kinda growing out of the bow stage but still need something pretty but not too over-the-top. Plus...I could "borrow" them!

I've seen a lot of Mr. and Mrs. things around...and some His and Hers. I saw these Couple Keychains by Jewelmint and thought how cute it would be to give my Mr. the key ring that says 'Hers' and that I could keep the one that says 'His'. Maybe I'm behind the curve {which is typical} but I LOVE that.

We are creating a cottage-y feeling home and I really love to include industrial elements. We've pulled some in from all over. I would love to include some of these metal wire cages to cover some of my lights. This one is from Industrial Rewind and the price is perfect.
How about this great idea from TJLovePrints? This is a thumb print tree for a baby shower! I have a few of these coming up {eventually} in my future, as an auntie and I would love to use this as a keepsake for my SILs!

The last on this listing is this 'National Safety Town Instructor' t-shirt from RareAves. I'll be teaching 7th grade Engineering Technology this next school year and I thought this might be a funny {though unappreciated} touch to the Safety Unit I will be leading the first weeks of school.

That was fun! Pretty harmless- so far. Let me know...what are some of YOUR favorite Etsy shops? Maybe we'll have to do some door-to-door {so-to-speak} visits of them!
