Bottle Cap How To Tuesday!

Have you ever wondered how they make those adorable bottle caps on Etsy? Well I stumbled upon a great “Bottle Cap How To” that will tell you! Bottle Caps Galore was kind enough to allow me to share it with you all, she has a great tutorial on her blog, which gives you step by step directions along with pictures, which shows her viewers how she makes such adorable bottle caps! She also has a list of all the supplies you will need for creating your bottle cap. But then again if your “craft challenged” like me, you could always purchase your bottle cap’s already made from her Etsy store Bottle Caps Galore. She has a ton of designs to choose from!

"Doggy Please"!

Whenever my soon to be two year old eats a corndog she starts acting like a little puppy and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why, I just thought that she learned it from her big sister. That is until the other day when she ask for one and said “Doggy please” lol then it hit me it’s because they are called corn "Dog’s"….. I know I’m a little slow sometimes, anyways so that’s why I went looking for a little stuff puppy to share with everyone. I found an adorable one in Snooli Baby shop. His little puppy ears are so cute! She has a few other plush baby toys to browse through as well as other animals and some really great prices, feel free to take a look.

Very Unique and Very Cool

So “The Cutest Shops Online” has now officially been nicked named “Alicia’s Wish List” by my husband, so just for fun I thought I would pick out one of his favorite items on Etsy. Every time he jumps on Etsy he checks out SteamPunk watches and other items. (I think that he may be trying to hint something to me, seeing how Valentines is coming up) lol, Anyways I found some very interesting things when typing in steampunk, I also came across this really cool SteamPunk Pin, its made from vintage watch parts, with added jewels worked into it, I found it in Dust Design’s shop, they have some very cool and unique pieces, not to mention what a great way to recycle! You should check it out they are really neat.

Vintage Children Furniture

Anyone who knows me knows that I am addicted to estate sells and thrift stores why, its because of finds like this! (The rocking horse not the adorable girl which also happens to be mine too) I just love wooden Children Vintage Furniture, my two girls are spoiled that way. But very few people realize that you can find Vintage Children Furniture on Etsy, I found an adorable wooden doll house the other day. I’ve been keeping my eye out for one of these for months so I know they are very hard to find! This adorable wooden Doll house just happens to be one of three in My Vintage Doll House shop. She also has a light blue one to which is very cute. *I’m not sure if the vintage refers to the age or style I just know that they are hard to find so I thought I would share it with you.

Retro Pink Flower Baby Shoes

I found Kaya’s Kloset Shoe’s the other day and theses shoes happen to remind me of shoes I have up on the wall. Yup you read that right I have shoes up on the wall, please let me explain. You see when I was creating my little ones Nursery I kind of ran out of budget. After buying her a new crib, changing table and rocking chair I didn’t have anything left for wall décor, so I had to get creative. I took ribbon and tied a bow at each end and attached it to the wall, I then took mini clothes pins and attached all her adorable dresses, ruffled pantaloons, and yup her baby shoes! It turned out adorable and was a great way to showcase her cutest stuff. Which brings me back to Kaya’s Kloset’s Shop, she has some of the cutest shoes not only are they lovingly hand made but they are also made from 100% natural materials, that are very environmentally friendly! I’m sure that you would agree that you too would want to showcase them to the world, long after your little ones have enjoyed them.
