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!

In honor of our house warming, some great gifts for a party!

We had our house warming party yesterday and I guess I was totally oblivious to the fact that people would bring gifts. (thought I didn't mind one bit!) I have never been to a house warming party, and never had one before. We made tons of food, had a lot of laughs, and then we opened a big pile of gifts that friends and family brought us! Being that we are vegan, people sometimes find us hard to shop for. Someone even brought us organic basil seeds with a pot, which is right up our alley! Those who had no clue got us gift certificates to grocery stores, because if you know us, you know we love to eat!!! Here are a few great things that I found on etsy this morning, that I think are perfect for housewarming gifts.

Monkeys Always Look has some really cute containers full of all different plants. Plants are the perfect house warming gift because they brighten up any room and bring life to a new house!

This cute little photo frame made by,Monkey and Squirrel, is the perfect little gift for a new house. Wrap it up with a photo you already have, something special, or let them pick a photo that they want to display. Everyone loves picture frames, especially cute ones with birdies on them!

Make sure to have the new homeowners open this gift BEFORE the party starts! This teapot from Vessels and Wares is fun and functional. Perfect for the first get together, and the future parties that will come!

Vegan food safe lead free pottery dishes AND they are cute to boot!

Looking to spoil yourself? Just buy your first home and want nothing but the best? Are you vegan and P-R-O-U-D? Vegan Dish makes some super awesome food safe and lead free pottery. I contacted vegan dish a month or so ago when we were moving into our new apartment, I wanted something fabulous and vegan!

Wake up to a big cuppa tea

Dont forget the raw sugar and vegan creamer!

I generally use my tea to wash down a delicious vegan muffin! Yummm

Vegan dish also runs a little pottery shop full of handmade functional ceramics at Vessels and Wares
