Friday Finds- post holiday shopping

If you didn't get what you wanted over the holidays, it's fun to do some bargain shopping in January. I found these vintage boots on Etsy that I love!

And even though the holidays are over, I still love to decorate. I just bought sleigh bells, similar to the ones in the below pic. They line my mantel and look fabulous!

Here's another awesome piece for decor. These rustic hooks would look great hanging indoors, or outside.

February is pretty much smack dab in the middle of winter across much of the U.S., and I don't know about you, but I like to stay nice and toasty warm if I can help it. Here are some of my favorite items from Etsy that help to do just that.

Friday Finds: Beyond Candy and Flowers

How often have you gone visiting friends and brought your host or hostess candy or flowers? And you know that the flowers will wilt and the candy will be eaten and forgotten in a week or so.

Why not bring something that they will use over and over again, and that will add beauty and the warmth of handmade to their lives. Consider some of these from BEST members instead:

Tea towels from Fuzzy Mug.

A welcome mat like this Zen Happiness one from DamnGoodDoormats.

A wood salad or serving bowl from Wood Art for Living.

Search the sites shown here, or type baltimoreetsyteam or shopbaltimore10 into the Etsy search bar and find something your host or hostess will treasure!

Friday Finds

Cooler Weather is fast approaching, and I am glad because that means it will be scarf weather. Scarves are one of my favorite accessories- even in summer I manage to find a few lovely lightweight scarves to wear, but in fall and winter the possibilities for scarf wearing are at their best, and Etsy stores feature a really wonderful variety. Here are just a few.
How cool is this? It has a very ethnic and safari like feel to me, and is unmistakably artisan made.

I love this feminine and sort of Victorian feeling infinity scarf, which is available in 3 colors.

A lovely textural scarf by BEST's own, Yarnings by Seanna.

And to keep your scarf snug, how gorgeous is this?

Friday Finds: It's Sweater Weather!

Autumn - I love it! Crisp, cool air, crackling leaves. The excuse to bundle up in a cozy sweater, and nestle on the couch with a good book. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's divine.
