Fave Finds

Sorry I've been MIA the past few days.

I got a wicked cold last week that I'm still recovering from. The weekend was spent sleeping, blowing my nose, and putting stuff away in the house. The progress is slowing but at least it's something.

Because of all of our renovations, our pockets have shallowed enormously. But that won't stop me from doing a little window shopping a la the pages of etsy for some new house goodies. Check out my top ten favorites below (which would also double as an amazing wedding or host's holiday gift-guide!):

{1} This tub caddy would be fan-freakin-tastic. I'd have perma-wrinkles from all the soaking I'd do. But if I ever actually get this item checked off my wishlist, I'd also need a soaking tub. Something tells me this caddy wouldn't work in our 1958 shallow shower tub.

{2} Though I always dreamed of having whatever the heck I wanted in my own home, I know that I would like some consistency in the styling. But perhaps I could find a place to squeak this in? Or maybe I could frenchize my future nursery? Le bebe wouldn't care. I bet it's been done.

{3} Holy cannoli. If I could get three of these bad boys - two pugs and a chihuahua - for my babies, that'd be awesome. And this green is a perfect pop for our developing living room.

{4} I would strain for days with this hot tamale!

{5} This gorgeous table runner would be happy on my future dining room table. Too bad our dining room probably won't be renovated for a few years. Unfortunately for my tummy, it's not high on our to-do list.

{6} Though I feel like I'm not a big fan of text on the walls, I'd totally hang this sappy sap up in the living room. Maybe right over the hall table where you grab your keys in the morning?




{7} These sweet nesting bowls would make a fabulous wedding gift since I couldn't swing the hefty price tag on my own. Then again, neither could guests. But a girl can dream.

{8} So freakin' cool. This would make a great clock for J's office. Hmmm... Have I just started a gift guide of my own? Shhh, don't tell J.

{9} There is something so warmingly juvenile about this print. It reminds me of one of my favorite books as a child, If You Give A Moose A Muffin. I think these would be more great nursery additions - both the print and the book. You think this moose could be french?

{10} And a print from on my favorite etsy shops (and favorite bloggers) to finish it off. One of her bright prints would look great in my future closet (which J and I have coined my "boutique"). I think looking at it would inspire me to pick more exciting outfits.

Do you guys have any home decor items that you have your eyeballs on? I'd love to see them!
