Toil and Trouble!

So I have lived in Utah all my life. I love it here but boy does it get cold! I can’t wait for summer! I came across Toil and Trouble’s shop, first of all I love her shop's name, it reminds me of my own two little girls who are always helping each other get into trouble! lol anyways, She makes some great scarflette’s which are perfect for young moms. Unlike normal scarfs which always seem to get in the way, scarflettes are much smaller and in my opion easier to wear. She also makes earwarmers which are perfect for those earily morning jog’s! Not only do they keep your ears warm but they also keep your hair pulled back and out of your way. Feel free to stop by her shop and take a peek she has many more products to choose from, the Akitone Fiery Scarflette just happens to be my favorite!

My Baby is now Two!

So I have been, wanting to share this shop with everyone for awhile, but was waiting for my little ones birthday. Which is finally here my baby is now two! Wow time really does go by so fast. Anyways I found this felt birthday cake awhile back and thought that it was just adorable! I love all the felt food you can find on Etsy. There are so many yummy creative items. I came across Onenonly88 “tasty” little shop and was blown away at just how cute all her play food was, not only will you find this adorable birthday cake but you will also find handmade items such as: a yummy breakfast set, a playful pizza set, cute little cupcakes and a very cute felt tea set with truffles, which is perfect for any little tea party (or those birthday photo!). I love her work, if you have little girls like mine who love to play cook you really should check her shop out you won’t be disappointed.

For those of you who don’t know Enthral, she is a very talented jewelry artist who sells both on Etsy as well as Artfire, she does some amazing work. I really enjoy her style not to mention she has really great prices! What I love about her style is that she tries to focuses on pairing vintage pieces with new ones to make a one of a kind jewelry piece. Like this Rose and Heart Necklace the heart is new but the rose is Vintage, I think they are so pretty paired togeather. I love anything recycled especially when they end up looking this beautiful!
