I Love Pretty Things.

May 16th, 2009

It’s time for me to show off some of the pretty things that I’ve bought from different sellers on Etsy. Mind you, all of this stuff has been sitting around my apartment for the last seven-odd months or so, just waiting for me to post it all up. What can I say? I’m one hell of a procrastinator!

Onward!

Pretty little hair bobs from Cutecumber.

Ordered October 30, received November 4.


Cute packaging, eh? And stickers! I LOVE stickers!


Green Tea Chocolate Plus a Cup of Latte Equals Yummy – 4 Hairclips.

Let’s add some fun to your hair!

Buttons are measured 7/8″ (2.2cm) and are permanently attached to brown snap clips. $7.00.

It’s a shame…back when I ordered these, I actually had hair to clip back off of my face.

Now?

I got all of my hair chopped off into a pixie cut back at the beginning of April. Go, me!

As it is, though…I love these clips, and there’s no way I’m going to get rid of them. I’m going to keep them, because I’m sure that my hair will grow long enough to get into my face again, and knowing me, I’ll be too lazy to go to the salon and get it cut!

This entry gets a little long, so I thought I’d put it behind a cut…take a peek to see all kinds of wonderful goodies!

Cute keychains from Kawaiislandgurl72. Unfortunately, even though her shop is still online, she hasn’t listed anything since her last item sold back in November.

Ordered October 23, received October 31.


The envelope that my goodies came in was hand-stamped with strawberries and cherries, and there was a label warning the postman to “Please Handle With Care! Happy Delivery!” The envelope was also sealed with pretty pink tape that had strawberries and pink cakes on it! When I pulled my goodies out of the envelope, I found everything contained in a cute little bag with strawberries all over it! So cute! I’m a sucker for the cute!

3 in 1 Handmade Lampwork Glass Bead Cell Phone Charm. The Craftier Side. SRA BHV.

Each cell phone charm came packaged up nicely in a pretty organza bag with metallic accents. The charms themselves are absolutely gorgeous. The third one I bought for L. out on the Left Coast as a Christmas present.

As for mine, they won’t be used as cell phone charms. I have a PDA phone, and cell phone charms don’t look quite right with PDA’s. Instead, I’ll be hanging mine from my bulletin board above my craft table…as inspiration.


Included in my package was a gorgeous sparkly adjustable ring that will definitely get worn. It sparkles so nicely, and it changes colors, depending on how the light hits it!

Next up, we have an adorable cloth jingle ball from Blossom Toys.

Ordered November 18, received on November 26.

Blossom Toys Packaging
What an cute way to package up a ball!

Blossom Toys Jingle Bell Cloth Ball
Flirtations Chocolate and Pink Large Jingle Bell Cloth Ball.
Beautiful, modern fabric come together to become a great ball perfect for baby.

Toys do not need to be made of plastic and run on batteries to be fun.

This ball is made from three coordinating, 100% cotton fabric from Moda’s Flirtation collection and stuffed with polyester fill. A bell is carefully placed in the center of each ball producing a very pleasant jingle and rattle when it is shaken, rolled or thrown. At 17 inches around, it is the perfect size for a game of toss and catch. You will have years of fun – my little guy loves to toss the balls across the room and go running after them, and my older son is learning how to catch. Who doesn’t like playing ball?

This ball will be custom made when you order, so pattern placement will vary slightly. Please allow 7-10 days for production. $12.00.

Honestly? I bought this ball for my CATS. I thought the ball was gorgeous and I couldn’t resist, but *I* certainly don’t need a jingle ball! Our four year old cat just LOVES this ball, and since I bought it, it’s had to put up with A LOT of abuse. Isis loves to roll around on the floor with the ball and rabbit-kick the heck out of it. It’s held up VERY WELL…and if it can stand the kind of abuse my cat throws at it, it’ll certainly hold up in the hands of a baby!

A lovely locket from Artistic Detour.

Ordered January 1, received on January 8.

Artistic Detour Packaging Artistic Detour REMEMBRANCE - Sea Glass Heart Locket in Copper

Memories of love

Authentic Sea Glass…tumbled from the deep. $25.00.

This is an absolutely GORGEOUS locket, and I am so in love with it. It’s perfect to wear with just about anything. I love the fact that the cord is adjustable, so I can wear it as short or as long as I want to, depending on what type of shirt I’m wearing. I can also use this as a scent locket, as you can use perfume oils on sea glass!

Oh. The antiqued copper finish? It’s stunning.
