A few of my favorite items from Etsy this week:

from minusOne

from sealmaiden

from SoulRole

Seven Blooms

I have been looking for more professional-ish dresses in the past couple weeks. This is one of the ones I found and I am in love with it. At $120, it's not something that I can purchase lightly, but is definitely a goal to work towards.

ZenThreads

Once again, I have put up another ZenThreads item. I'm going to need new sweatpants soon and these look like the perfect option for me. I love the white tree stenciled on it as well.

I have been on a gray, darkish blue and white kick this week.

ShopKStudio $4.98

ZenThreads

Barnacle Bags

TheDoorStop

2 chicks & a fancy owl

I've had a hard time letting go of the Christmas season this year. We finally took our tree down this weekend and I was tempted to leave it up another week. I saw these on Etsy and even though I knew they were gnomes, they still reminded me of Santa Claus and I favorited them right away.

bluemarblebeads

Red is one of my favorite colors and (thankfully) due to the Valentine season, it is quite prevalent. These beads look fabulous; I love the texture!

LindenAvenueDesigns

Another red bead...I can imagine making a necklace with these.

2 chicks & a fancy owl

Owls are one of my favorite animals. I like the simplicity of the white color with the more complex design.

*hangs head* Well, I haven't kept up with my New Year's goal for this week. However, it's been an extra busy week for me at the day job, plus some birthday celebrating for me. I'm back today with a few more favorites than usual.

NowVintage

I have a thing for the industrial. This fulfills that thing. When I have a house some day, I can just imagine setting up a little industrial room with these on a few choice lightbulbs.

Dellamorteco

These octopus candlesticks are also perfect for adding to the home if you want a touch of the sea or a bit of non-traditional decor. Personally I would put these in my bathroom to go with my sea theme.

odelae

Continuing with the sea theme, I happened upon this amazing notebook stitched through shells. What a great idea! I would have never thought of that.

Wander Sketch

I have been looking for some items to celebrate Valentine's Day and happened upon this mug. I'm a fan of mugs that have designs that run inside. They can even add a whole or broken heart to the design for whichever mood you're in.

Mud Puppy

I love all of the items made by Mud Puppy. I chose to show this one today because it is rather unique, with the crying baby face and the tangle of "hair" coming out the top.

TimberGreenWoods

Wooden heart confetti. Awesome.

That completes today's installment of Fave Finds. More to come later this week.

I'm so proud of myself that I could write three editions of Fave Finds this week! I have met one of my goals for this week. Okay, onto the items. I noticed that today's finds were all home related.

AngelaIngram

I love this mug with a side car. How cool is this mug? I never know where to place my teabag and now I do!

Silvia66

I love chunky yarn and I love scarves. Put the two together and I'm in even more love. It looks fairly simple and something that I could probably make myself, but I love the look!

MargotBianca

Another love of mine are napkins. I'm picky with napkins but lately I've found a lot of them that I like. These four are amongst them.

seaandasters

I am not gifted with a green thumb but I love the color and warmth that plants can bring to the home. I have been thinking about getting some airplants (which sound very low maintenance) and one of the best parts is you can put them in pretty much anything to display them. Take these suspended globes, for instance. There they are, swinging in the breeze and being fed at the same time. Wonderful.

Here is the second edition of Fave Finds this week.

ZenThreads

I've started to favorite Zen Threads items on Etsy for the past few items. I love their graphics and knowing their items are sweatshop free make me feel even better about purchasing their items. I'm a sucker for t-shirts and sweatshirts, so I will probably be posting a lot of these in the coming weeks.

Paper Face Studio

This brass vintage locket is a great necklace! I love that it has room to put a personalized message inside of it. This gives me ideas for Valentine's Day. Hmmmm...

StitchAndGrain

I know that these are easy and you can wander into the woods and get your own, but I still love the simplicity of small slices of wood.

happykathy

I. love. this. wallet. Great pattern. Great colors.

 In my first post of the year, one of the goals I listed was to post about some of my favorite items that I found on Etsy that day. Here is the first installment.

less is more

A friend of mine had posted these pants on another friend's wall on Facebook. I thought, how great are these? I love the double waistband look with the large buttons. I have a pair similar to this and they are so comfy.

Ruby Red Design Studio

For a long time, I carried a large year planner with me. I faithfully wrote in it nearly every day, keeping track of my activities. As my dresser drawer began to fill with calendars of years past and I moved multiple times, I became more reliant upon my electronic calendar rather than a physical copy. However, this simple, typographic calendar caught my eye as something that would be nice home or office decor and help me keep track of the date without being tethered to my computer.

domestic charm

I don't know what it is about baker's twine that makes me want to whip up cupcakes and caramels by the dozen. It's a good staple for any crafty person, used to wrap up gifts or use for tiny bunting.

Recycled Relics

Someday when I own a house, I would like to put these up in the kitchen or bathroom, ceiling or wall. A coat of paint and they would definitely be an attractive interest in the house.

That's it for my first finds of the week. I will post again later this week.
