♥ Monday Etsy Loves ♥ Listing my Loves ♥

Hi!
Hope your Mondays has been good!
I've been drinking lots of yummy sweet rose tea to keep warm
The weather has changed dramatically
Last week you could feel spring was on it's way and now it's so cold
It's even snowing in places outside London!

I love doing these Etsy posts
It makes me realise how there are so many different, talented people out there
It's really inspiring! And, there is SO much out there I want!
Anyway onto my Etsy picks
There are some really lovely things I've found

1. Rikarika
This is amazing!
Sisco would love this!
There are lots of other animals in the shop!












2. Judy The Jazz Cat
This vintage remixed suitcase is so adorable!
Her shop is full of really cute artwork too!















3. Peanut Butter Dynamite
How amazing is this rug?
Her pillows are adorable too
I seriously need to learn how to crochet!















4. Eye for Finds
I've got a soft spot for anything apple related
I think it's due to the fact my Nana always used to call me her "Apple of my Eye"














5. Nowvenmber
These little notebooks are cute
The colours are my favorite too













6. Collage Orama
Love this print
They use old books that are to be destroyed and upcycle them to give them new life.
I LOVE that!

A little Update + Cute Photos!

Hi!
I realise I haven't done a personal post for a while
Seriously, I know I say it alot, but this year is zoooming by!
I've recently listed my plushie's on Etsy and I've been making more
The more I learn about Etsy, the more I love it
I'm listing some new plushie's on Sunday, that I really love!

Here are some cute photos from the last week
I've been walk a little girl
Her name is Daphne and she is a little (or maybe not so little now) 7 month Bulldog
She is VERY stubborn, but has a little of heart of gold

















Photos are a bit blurry, but I love this one as she's smiling

















Sisco is the same old Sisco
Sleepy and moody, but we love her
She's started doing this new thing, where she sits on my laptop and switches it off!
(Ignore her little 'area' by her ear, black cats don't photograph with a flash very well)
"Don't be looking at my bald spot"

"Listen Mummy, I think we should look online for some gourmet cat food"















My mum sent us a little parcel recently with goodies and some posh food for Sisco (After eating that, she turns her nose up at our food)
But my Mum also puts in the local papers
Sure, there is bad news
But alot of focus on nice, uplifting stories!
Here are a couple of stories from the latest paper:
Local lady celebrates 102nd Birthday
and
A traumatised RSPCA rescue dog that is building up her confidence with hydrotherapy
lessons

It's always nice to hear some good news!

Also, Hi to the few new followers I've gained!
Hope everyone has a great weekend

♥ Monday Etsy Loves ♥ I Love You ♥

Hi There!
Happy Monday/Valentines Day!
We don't really celebrate Valentines day
We used to earlier in our relationship, but now we prefer to just make special days more spontaneous
I think there is SO much pressure on couples for Valentines day, and singles are made top feel left out!
It's much more romantic to do something because you want to, not because "Oh crap, it's valentines day! Better buy something quick"
Just my opinion
So, C'mon people don't wait until Valentines day to tell your loved one how special they are!

Anyway, here are my Etsy picks for this week!
Hope you like them

1. The Nebulous Kingdom
I can't even tell you how many times I've seen this film, and it still gets me every time!
I'm not a particularly soppy person, but certain films turn me into a blubbering wreck
And this is one of them
"Hold me"
"I can't"
Gaaahhh! Everytime!

















2. Stellaranae
I'm a sucker for a cute and kitschy jumper!
And this one is great!

















3. Kristy McMurry
Cute idea!

















4. Mooreaseal
I love Amethyst rings
And this one is really special!














5. Grandma Marle Vintage
I definitely want to wear more dresses this summer
And this one is pretty!

















6. Grand Wazoo
This tote is so cute!
I love Pugs so much!
Saw 2 little baby ones in the woods today
1 fawn and 1 black
They melt my heart so much!
One day I will have a little Pug baby and cover his/her little smooshy face in kisses!












7. DunDalkBorn
Amazing!!!
A little diner play set?
I'd love this now for decoration!










8. Em and Sprout
I am definitely buying a pair of Em & Sprouts cute mary janes for Summer
And I think these will be them!
And, check out the little furry babe trying to get in on the action!














Well, hope you saw some things you like!
Sending out lots of love today!
