Friday Finds: Etsy!

While I am killing some time between class being over (for this week, at least!) and Brian's arrival home for the weekend (!!), I thought I would share some of my favorite recent finds from Etsy. Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've heard of this website, where incredibly talented people sell all kinds of handmade things! I love browsing all of the shops when I'm bored (the "Pounce" feature is great for finding new sellers), but I still haven't made my first official Etsy purchase...but that might have to change very soon!

Amber has an adorable Zebra print one, and I want one too!
$8

I am in love with metal stamped jewelry lately.
$32

I want this for my room! (or my future bakery...)
$22

Can I reconsider my apron choice? :)
(P.S. Goooo Ravens!)
$23

I could go on and on! For a laugh, also head over to Regretsy. Because while there are some amazing gems on Etsy, there are also things that really should have never been made in the first place. Or, as Regretsy says, "Handmade? It looks like you made it with your feet!"

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! :)

Hi Lauren! I just started following your blog and actually just started a blog of my own!

I won a couple of those coffee sleeves in a blog giveaway a few weeks ago; I LOVE them, and all my friends are jealous when I use them during our weekly girls' night at Starbucks!

WHERE do you find all these great buys???

The coffee sleeves are awesome! How adorable... How do you find this stuff. When I got to Etsy it seems like I'm just digging and never find stuff I like. Hmmm....

Thank you
