Etsy

I'm a big fan of one of things that are handmade. Months ago, I discovered this website called Etsy. It's an online shop where people buy and sell anything handmade. I have made quite a few purchases there and have been satisfied. My first purchase there was my now wedding band. It's a square sterling band with customized engraving inside of the ring. This is my third wedding ring. My husband still has his second one. We are not very good at taking care of our wedding bands, but I will spare my readers the details. The most important thing is we are still happily married. After the ring, I purchased a stand mixer cover pattern. I had always wanted to get a cover for my kitchen aid stand mixer. I got my fabric and the pattern, all is lacking is my motivation to actually get started. I hope to be able to reveal the final product sometime in the future. Okay, moving on... Recently I have gotten into wearing headbands. I love them. it's the easiest way to dress up an updo. One of my orders came in the mail today. I ordered from two different sells, but I think the other ones are coming soon. This one is made by Bunson Burner.
The little flower is a vintage clip on earring that is removable. Lovely, ihsn't it? She also sent me these scrap papers. Some of them look vintage. I don't really know what to do with them since I don't scrapbook, but I think it's very thoughtful.


Also came in the mail the other day were these lovely nail polish I got from Missha. I love their jewel-like colors.
