A few Etsy shops I’ve fallen in love with recently….

SIAN -

Are you kidding me!? Stuffed Succulents!? So genius. And this little llama needs a new home in Rylee’s room pronto.  All of the creatures in this shop are so endearing.

HOMAKO -

Really, I want everything. Quirky & unique jewelry designs with pretty killer color combos. My fave right here.

ROSS LAB -

I first spotted these ceramic mugs on Pinterest and had to see more.  And indeed, more I did love.  What perfect little mint vessels for your salt, pepper and sugar!

What etsy shops are you loving?

So I finally decided to jump on the “shop my closet” bandwagon! Only I am starting with Rylee’s Closet!  Hopefully I can manage to do my own in the near future too!  At first I was thinking to do an “Insta-sale” (on instagram) but after I started sifting through all the clothes that no longer fit her, I realized I had far more than I was comfortable flooding instagram with.  SO, I did a bit of research and decided to go with Goodsie to host my shop.  Have any of you ever used this platform?  It’s my first time doing anything like this, so if there are any glitches….forgive me and let me know!  It was all pretty painless.  I slaved away all day yesterday taking and editing photos and setting up the shop.  Time consuming stuff I tell ya!  But hopefully it will be worth it and we’ll get pass along our stuff to someone else who loves it as much as we did!

All the items in the shop are between sizes 0-18 months.  Some have been worn often, and others not at all.  There were a few that I found buried at the bottom of her dresser with the tags still on them.  Whoops! Clearly, it’s time to downscale!  As I was going through all of her things, I was surprised to get a bit emotional.  There were some pieces that I just couldn’t get myself to part with.  Some of them brought back a certain memory and took me right back to that time in her life when she was just a little bundle in my arms.  Other’s were just pieces that I loved and that I wanted to save for my next baby girl (if we are so lucky).  I find it so easy to part ways with my own clothes, but with hers, it was like pulling teeth!  That little bag of extra sentimental items I tucked away for another special time! The rest are excited to find a new home. Sooooo…..have a peek!

I would so appreciate if you could share this with any moms or soon-to-be moms, or even dads….or anyone for that matter who might take interest!  Thanks so much!

Oh!  And if you are in the market for a newborn Halloween Costume, the Cave Girl Costumes I made for us last year are for sale too.  (for both mom and babe!)

Can’t get enough of collars lately.  Loving these guys.

Known fact : Rylee has worn a headband every day since birth.  She now thinks they are part of her head.

Ha! Not entirely true.  But close.  If I did not make her headband myself, I bought it off Etsy.  And one of my favorite shops of all time for headbands on Etsy is Lou & Lee.  It’s the original felt flower headband shop.  The ORIGINAL people!!  So much cuteness to choose from!  I recently worked with them on their new logo design….and here she is!  I had so much fun with this one!  Hope you like it too.  Happy Monday!
