Etsy Treasure - Massachusetts Style!

Today I am featuring a few etsians from my home state of Massachusetts. These are some great items, and i hope that you love them too!

This is a set of super summer fun coasters made by HKExpressions. I love these because its great to have such everyday items be fun and colorful. Be sure to check out the others coasters available!

This Key fob was made by TwoFriendsStitching and is made from a recycled juice pouch. Again with the fun everyday item, plus recycled! too cool!



This beautiful print was made by AzureGrackle. I love the colors and layers and how the process is shown the item pictures. So pretty!

p.s lots of new in my shop... be sure to take a look :)

some NEW!!

here are images of some of my new items.. some already posted, some to be posted this week!

kate...kate..kate..kate!!!

this is Kate! she is our new puppy! She is about 4 months old, and is a golden retriever/yellow lab/german sherpherd mix and she is so sweet. She likes to sleep, and try to attack my hair clips (totally serious!) this is kate in her bed, she really likes her bed, and her toys, and tail gating me. She gets so excited when Jon gets home.

she also likes getting on the couch and the chair. so far she has been good about chewing her toys and not the furniture... thank goodness for bitter apple spray!! so here are some of my
favorite puppy items :) each image is clickable to the maker's etsy site!!

"christmas" cactus

ok- so this is my "christmas" cactus. I think that its pretty confused... cause its June. You are supposed to keep in the dark to make it bloom, so instead i keep it outside in the summer and it blooms in the summer... funny huh. So if you are new to my blog, yes i am a big plant fan. I was talking with my husband the other day and thinking that if i didn't do what i do plants are fun. what i do is inside sales and customer service 8-5, so of course plants would be more fun. I love rescuing plants... going to walmart or another store and seeing a poor plant on clearance that no one is going to buy. Those are the plants that I buy. The sad, lonely, almost dead ones. And 99% of the time i can save them... so i like plants.

little bit of treasure

well its been a while, and i've been perusing etsy for some treasure, and i think i found some great ones ! i really hope that you agree....


this is a business card holder made by sosorosey. I love it because i hate digging cards out of that little spot i keep them in my wallet. and maybe if they were hanging right there i would remember that i have them! I also love the little bit of bling on the button - so sweet :) go here to see what else sosorosey has.








this print is from TheHauntedHollowTree's shop. I love it. The tree is so lovely, and the birds are so sweet. I am rarely out of ways to describe why i like things, but this one renders me speechless. The tones, and the gesture and the beauty. Go here to see it...



and i will end this treasure with a little bit of fun! and what is more fun than a cloudy pin cushion! this one was made by bubbletime. I love the fun-nontraditional blue sky, white cloudness of it all. its great. go here to see what else bubbletime has.

ok hope that you liked this etsy treasure!

little surprises

So I have been learning one of the most interesting and exciting things about buying a house. In the spring, you never know what plants will pop out! So last week i went out and took some pictures. I thought that I would share some with you... this is a columbine... so pretty and sweet. and I love this photo... sometimes my camera does a good job!
I love my little surprises!

oh my house!

ok - so me and my boy have been looking for a house since November... and I think that we found it!!
Its a perfect home, in the exact town that we wanted. Half way between work for both of us....
3 bedrooms, a big kitchen, hardwood floors, great fenced in yard and a bedroom that will fit my bureau... imagine that!It is a foreclosure... so it makes me sad for the people that used to own it. But then i think about the holes that they put in the wall before they moved out! grr... more work for us!

but maybe a home for us, very happy and excited and scared and going crazy...!!! I love the little house that we are renting, but it is that, a little house. Imagine a place for guests to sleep, or being able to walk around the dining room table. Or having the computer desk more than 3 feet from the TV. So Jon can geek it up, and I can love my tv shows...this is a bit of a ramble, but with a point. we might be getting a house. I say might because the home inspection is this weekend, and who knows what we will find. So i finish this post by showcasing some wonderful house warming gifts! :) (hint... hint...)
