Very Berry Cherry Clutch Vegancraftastic

As soon as I saw this cute little clutch, from vegancraftastic, I thought of my sister! She is into the 50's pinup style and absolutely loves cherry anything. This clutch would be perfect to carry with any little black dress, and is super adorable!

Camille Wanders Right Into My Heart- love this etsy shop!

We recently received Camille Wanders samples for the August 2009 It's All In The Bag release, and they are AWESOME! Camille Wanders sent in some really cute handmade little pouches, so cool! I like the little pouches so much that I decided to check the shop out tonight, and its got a really laid back, organic, earthy vibe to it.

I really like that there are a variety of sizes for the shirts in the shop, I even found a shirt that I love that will fit my chub a dub dub body type! There are a lot of nature themed throughout all of the items with plenty of trees and butterflies. I absolutely adore the designs and have added the shirt to my "BIRTHDAY WISHLIST"!

It's All In The Bag August 2009 edition comes out in about a week on August 16th, and we are really excited, all of the contributors sent in amazing samples of their work. 100% of profits from the bags go to Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary, and here's hoping we can raise even more money for the animals with this round of bags!

Thanks again Camille Wanders for sending in some of your uniquely handmade beauties!

My birthday is coming and I am already shopping for myself on etsy!

Every year around this time I start to shop for myself online for my birthday. I have one of those families that gives money or gift cards, and since I dont shop at walmart or best buy, I choose the cash. Now it comes down to, what do I want to get for myself that I couldnt normally afford...So here's a list of this years dream birthday gifts!

This is such a cool idea, leave it to Vessels and Wares to come up with the perfect way to display your summer flowers!

Anyone that knows me, knows how much I LOVE GARLIC. I put garlic on everything, I would even try it on vegan ice cream!! So this garlic keeper from Vessels and Wares, would make the perfect gift for a gardenin', garlic lovin' gal like myself!

What kind of birthday would it be without some delicious truffles from Sweet Fritsy? These are seriously the best truffles that I have ever had, and I cant wait to get more.

I have had my eyes on this pair of shoes from Mohop for about a year now. Cute, stylish and I have heard nothing but rave reviews about these fabulous shoes! So versatile, these shoes come with 5 sets of ribbons that you choose, making it like buying 5 pair of new shoes! Not to mention the almost infinite ways you can tie these shoes, its like an entire shoe collection in one! What girl wouldnt want these for her birthday?

A nice new pair of earrings from Starrlight Jewelry is in my near future. A couple of months ago Starr and I did a trade, where I received the prettiest earrings. For once I can actually wear them without my ears hurting like crazy. Starr makes some really great jewelry and Ive done a handful of trades with her, but these earrings are by far my favorite!

I want to ride my bicycle, all over town after eating a huge vegan dinner!

Today's search for an awesome etsy item was far too easy, I searched VeganEtsy Team, and one of the first things that popped up, I LOVE! First of all, if you know me, you know that I love bikes, I ride mine everywhere that I go. In fact, I like them so much that I have not 1 but 2 bicycle related tattoos! Ok Ok so what did I find?

A bike print bag set by Vegancraftastic and it is so awesome! What would I put in the bags if they were mine? First of all I would put my knitting in the larger bag, and some cash in the little pouch....then I'd hop on my bike and ride down to the coffee shop for some knittin' 'N' tea sippin'!

Looking for a laugh, something to cheer me up, on a gloomy miserable day!

It is raining outside, again, we still havnt had a summer, and now I am having problems with my jaw. Who knows what it could be, but I am in P-A-I-N. So this morning I woke up, tried to eat some breakfast (my mouth barely opens) and now I am looking for funny shops to cheer me up! First thing I found while looking on Artfire was this funny little magnet, says it all about sisterhood!

This magnet really gave me a giggle so I decided to check out the rest of picardcreative's shop, and there are so many funny creative magnets that it was hard to choose which ones to include in this post!!

Also known as chub rub, this one just makes me laugh out loud!













This one really reminds me of my grandmother, she says shes too old for things she doesnt want to do, then the fun stuff....shes the perfect age for!!

Mommy Dearest! When I was young and my mother would yell at me, I would call her mommy dearest! I always loved that movie, and NO MORE WIRE HANGERSS! I used to try to get my mom to say it, then I would laugh and laugh and laugh, then rewind the movie and watch that part again and again!

Beautiful Indigo Necklace To Brighten Up A Gloomy Summer Day!

I was looking on etsy for something to cheer me up this morning and did a search for VeganEtsy Team. The first item that popped up was this beautiful bright indigo necklace by Pink Bubble, and I absolutely love it! It kind of reminds me of the Native Jewelry that my father used to make, but a more modern take on it I suppose. Pink bubble really has a lot of cute things in their shop, worth a peek!

The Search For Natural Vegan Soap without chemicals and fragrance oils

Today I was in search of true purely natural soap, and I happened upon Elegant Rose Boutique, where they sell natural soaps, that arent full of dyes and chemical fragrance oils! I cant wait to try these soaps out next time I am on a soap mission! Besides, who doesnt love soap that just so happens to smell like chocolate mint, without some fake scented garbage in it? I def. love minty chocolatey goodness!

So Fresh and So Clean Clean Handmade Vegan Soap on Etsy!

I decided that today is a soapy day, as I get ready for my craft fair (which I am totally not prepared for!), and its almost time to hop in the shower. I am always looking for new soapers to try out on etsy. I typed in vegan soap and of course 93489034802 items and shops came up.

Todays featured etsy seller, Amethyst Soap, caught my eye. The first soap I saw looked like a little maze from far away, and is chock full of wholesome ingredients, not a bunch of chemicals and animal yuck!

Amethyst Soaps handcrafts soaps that are a replica of mother nature, finding stones and trying to emulate them in their soap. These soaps turn out truly beautiful and rather impressive.

My love is just as real as yours

I am always looking for cute artsy items for our new apartment, and today I happened upon tikikiki. I absolutely love the paintings in their shop, but the "my love is just as real as yours" is my favorite. It is super cute, and has a lot of intense meaning to it.

And honestly, who doesnt have a secret identity or need to go incognito with a mustache once in a while?
