Friday’s Favorites – Baby, it’s cold outside!

The view from our living room.

If you’re in the DFW area, you’re most likely at home, because the schools and businesses are closed due to the unusually icy weather dramatically labeled the “Icepocalypse.”

So, it’s the perfect time to snuggle up with a book or movie, a cuddly blanket, an animal or two, and maybe even finish up some Christmas shopping online.

You can enter to win this week’s pin it to win it prize, a handmade fascinator from our Etsy shop:

Some members of our team are having special sales for the occasion. Just enter code ICEICEBABY at checkout. (I love the coupon code!) Receive 25%  OFF a purchase of $15.00 or more from Buy Me Love through Sunday!

Plus, if you make a purchase from any Etsy Fort Worth team member this month, you can enter to win a prize package worth $100, plus coupons for January!

Order from our shop and receive 15% OFF your purchase in January.

Friday’s Favorites – Shoutout to Etsy817!

I can’t speak highly enough about the Etsy team we’re a part of. Etsy 817 is a group of artists and crafters in the 817 area code in Texas. We get together to plan events and promote each other, talk about techniques, and generally support each other and our businesses. Maybe I’m a little biased, but that doesn’t change the fact that these people are talented! I mean really, really talented. So, since most of them have ended up on our favorites lists in one way or another, I thought I’d share them all with you:

Take a look, and I garauntee you’ll find something you don’t want to live without.

Friday’s Favorites – Strange Strange Strange

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! Fridays have a little more meaning than usual (working from home tends to blur the days) now that Tom doesn’t have classes on Fridays. It’s like a 3 day weekend every weekend – pretty awesome.

Here’s a few favorites under our JuJu Eyeball shop name:

Pac Man Ghost Felted Sculpture by fibrous

 

Hermand Munster Small Canvas Pastel by lollyart

 

Steampunk Art Print - Hot Air Balloon Steamship by thefiligree

Looking at them, it all has a very dreamlike quality – slightly blurry edges or light blues, greens, greys … makes me sleepy!

Here’s to the end of a week!

Favorites & Freebies

Happy Friday to you!

One of my favorite etsy things this week is this set of nesting doll wine glasses. They’re painted in a mosaic/stained glass pattern, and the colors are just perfect! They remind me of the babushkas my Nana gave me – I have them sitting on our mantle. Click the pic to check out the other amazing listings in her shop!

Another one of my favorites this week is egg-a-g0-go. She has a variety of cool and colorful things in her shop, including catnip eggs, greeting cards, pillows, stuffed toys, animal paintings, and this:

When Two People Love Each Other Onesie by eggagogo

I added this to yesterday’s treasury, and I don’t know about you, but it made me laugh out loud! Check out her shop for some great Christmas shopping ideas.

Now for the freebies. A fellow etsian, lovemaki, is having a giveaway, ending tonight, for one of her “Love Always” prints:

"L'amour toujours l'amour"

This little freebie is so cute:

Wish List PDF by HomemadeHappinessNL

Click the pic to go to the listing, and copy and paste the url listed to download and print the PDF file. It’s a cute little wish/goal list that doubles as cupcake or muffin toppers! You write your goals on the flags, and when a goal is reached, you can put your flag on top of a baked goodie to celebrate! Use it for yourself or to motivate a little one – such a clever idea.

Favorites & Freebies Friday

The next new addition to our blog schedule is Favorites & Freebies. I’ll share some of our favorite etsy items and sellers, plus any freebies (or next-to-freebies) I’ve found!

One of our favorite sellers is soapopotamus. I mean, I’ve seen some beautiful soaps on etsy, but her shop just sparks my imagination! Where else can you find roast chicken soap? It may also have something to do with her hair – isn’t it pretty?

This is one of my favorite listings of all time. Not only do I love the dress (and “mustard” isn’t my favorite color, either), but I love the model!

Vintage Mustard Yellow Dress by zwzzy

Now, for the freebies.

I love these PIF (Pay It Forward) matchbook sized mini notebooks! All you pay is the listing fee (.20) plus shipping on PIF listings, so it’s nearly free.

Also, don’t miss Mandy’s Yellow Corner’s Neeka Knits Giveaway! Enter to win a pretty knitted headband in your choice of color for fall.

Hope you all have a happy Friday!
