LOTD || Etsy #3

 

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

It's no secret on this blog that I am a whopping great big fan on Etsy. For those that don't know, it is like a gigantic ebay but only for handmade or vintage items and it is quite simply, BEAUTIFUL. I saved the best LOTD til last. The idea is very simple- find a beautiful item for sale on etsy, and tell us so we can be equally impressed!

Sunday will always be : Esty.

 

Well, it's July and I'm just starting to think about Christmas time now. Normal? I doubt it. Organised? Yeah baby!

 

I recently had all my instagram pictures printed off onto little pieces of 2"x2" card and have been looking into new ways of displaying them (like this DIY Collage). I found THESE great little frames with loops that would allow you to thread ribbon through and intend to buy some to put my snaps in. I think they would make really cute customised Christmas tree decorations, lavish gift tags or even table place settings. I find it a little odd that you have to buy the glass separately, but they are pretty affordable and will make a really unique but easy craft project. Yay. 

If you would like to join in, simply copy and paste the image above (please link this blog with it), find your favourite etsy product and share it with the world. Feel free to let us know in the comments if you have done this and we can all mooch about together!

Are you thinking this far ahead?

Toodlepip!

My Apologies and A Roller Coaster Ride

I must first apologies to my dear readers. I know have been MIA for the month of October, but I haven't had the inclination to work on anything inspirational. To be honest I have worked on a few things around our little farmhouse, such as painting all the trim in the kitchen a brighter white. Oh and painting the living room walls a more neutral color. These things qualify as time-occupiers, something you do so you don't sit around and ponder unpleasanteries. Other than that, I have been on what has felt like a wild ride.

Have you ever felt as though your life is a roller coaster of which you have absolutely zero power to stop, let alone get off of? You're slowly climbing to the top of the first peak and then... a huge drop. Of course, that is not the end of the ride, oh no, the momentum only picks up from there taking you in whatever direction it sees fit. To no avail you scream at the top of your lungs, kick your feet, wave your arms, and you may even shed a tear or two the ride keeps on going. What are you really to do but hold on and wait for the end. Have you every felt like this?

Well, we've (Mr Uncluttered and I) arrived at the end of this wild ride, certain not to be the last. Whew! We have regrouped  rebooted, and redirected. So, I'm back with more projects in mind and a few in the works.

Also, I'm excited to announce that I have opened an Etsy shop! There will be lots of great antique and vintage inspired items with a farmhouse spin.

There are many more things in the works. I just want to thank you for sticking around during my "hiatus."

Till next time... happy blogging.
