Etsy Finds: My Birthday Wish List

Yesterday all the birthday presents (*cough* May26) I bought for myself came in the mail at once.

The bag I featured last week by moop, the feathered hairclip from FeatherWitch (see below), the bracelet by etcetrix I selfishly did not tell anyone about because I was afraid someone else would buy it first, the dresses by courtneycourtney I bought for the bun (because a well-dressed child is another gift I like to give myself).....and now I absolutely have birthday fever. Friends, I am just hungry. My eyes are gleaming with a shopper's lust and I am forwarding all my favorites to my friends and family. Here's what I'm forcing my loved ones to buy me this week:


funky texture cushion

As a pillow addict, I am always looking to add to my rotating gallery of sofa artwork. I think I saw this pillow (made from a recycled woven curtain) in the Treasury last week, and have been coveting it ever since. By jenhalldesigns, $35.

Free Bird

My coworker Michelle discovered FeatherWitch practically a year ago, but I've only just recently decided to hang feathers from my hair and ears and clothing — just in time for it to be totally inconvenient when carrying a four-month old around. But I'm willing to pry feathers from gooey little hands, for the sake of spring fashion. $30.

I just got my hairclip from FeatherWitch in the mail yesterday and it is a-mazing. Highly recommended!!

Original Folk Art watercolor painting

This original watercolor comes already framed! By EmmyCat, $90.

This piece was suggested to me by heatherknitz and set me off on a hunt for more Pennsylvania Dutch-inspired finds, so look for more of that soon.

Gourd and Pine Needle Luminary/ Incense Holder

Something I never thought of before I found it (with the help of a suggestion from fairyfelts), beautiful gourd-meets-pine-needle vessels. By fallentreebaskets, $35.

Grow with Me Vintage Pillowcase Dress (Peacocks and Flowers) 18m-6yr

I learned to make this style of dress for my daughter, and then reality set in and I realized I probably would not have any extra time until she's 20. So...now I have my eye on a few made from vintage embroidered pillowcases by sewfinebabyboutique, $25.
