I hope this finds you well. Did you have a nice weekend? Ours was lovely. I spent some time reading all of the sweet comments that you left on my last post. I appreciate them very much.

The Mister and I went to see this movie based on the book A Man Called Ove. I read it eight years ago and loved it. Many people will say the film is not as good as the book, but I thought it was equally entertaining. Tom Hanks can do no wrong in my book.
We took our #1 to lunch, and she came back to the house to help me with a project. More deets on Monday.
I have used Etsy for years and have had only great experiences. I was on the hunt on Friday because the Mister had a bee in his bonnet. I have an awkward alcove outside of my office on the second floor. He would like it decorated pronto! You know how he gets. I am set on the furniture but in search of some artwork. After an hour of tireless research, I thought I smelled a blog coming on, and I was right.
I have used a lot of the sites mentioned.
The ones that I have yet to utilize have 5-star ratings.
If you have read my Blog Central reveal post, you have seen a few of these prints decorating the walls. Every time I look at one, I can't help but smile.
This is what got me scrolling on Friday. I thought it would be a cute idea to hang a poster of every state we lived in. It comes out to an even six. The above print is a contender.
Very reasonable and a great gift.
Pet portrait, anyone.
Rumor has it that Chowdah has a side hustle.
Excellent source for frames.
They make them by hand and are very pleasant to work with.
Even doggies need a happy hour!

I was the world's worst swaddler.
The Mister, however, was a champ.
These sites have darling things for babies.
I'm getting this for the Mister.
He's one lucky guy.

Ohhhhhhh thank you for reminding me again that the world doesn't begin and end with amazon! I love Etsy and I really love personal recommendations like yours, so thank you. Plus being married to a small business owner for 30some years ~ it's vital to support small businesses so thank you for all of your support Katie! Is it too soon to start shopping for 'me' after the many Christmas presents I treated myself to in the spirit of supporting small business? I think not! BTW your taste in shopping AND decor is timeless! KTG
ReplyDeleteI love Etsy! Thank you for sharing all of your shops, it is nice to have recommendations from someone who has purchased or had something made. Off to check out a few of your pillow suggestions.
