I'm sure you all know about this already but I've just discovered Alchemy on Etsy. Basically it's a place where you can post a request for something you specifically want or need. People can look through the bids and bid on your request. IT ROCKS! I've recently acquired a few patterns for skirts that I would love to have three or four Summer skirts made out of. My sewing skills are lacking (a goal of mine is to improve this needed skill) so I posted a bid for a seamstress on Alchemy. Within 2 hours I had a ton of bids! Now I'm just looking for some great material to have the skirts made out of (any suggestions PLEASE??!). Alchemy rocks!
I'm a huge fan of witty cards which is why I love these 2 found here. The Popsicle card is such a great idea. Such a simple card and concept but one that I haven't seen before. Anyone else picture splitting an ice cold red Popsicle in half against the kitchen counter edge when seeing that card?
I'm all about color lately (more so then usual if that's possible). The jewelry pieces Brooke Marton creates are so lovely. Simplistic designs and her eye for what colors would look good together have me constantly trying to add her items to my favorites on Etsy, only to find that they're already on that list. 
I just realized my first 4 items for today are from Esty...what would we do without Etsy?! There is some serious talent to be found while browsing Etsy and this shop proves my point. How cool are those ties? You can be sure should I ever have a little boy that he'd be sporting one of those ties...or a bow tie for that matter. So much better than your typical boring clip on!
I'm thinking of getting one of these chairs for our family room. It's function would be for decor and as a place to sit. I have had my eye on this rocker for a year now and still do searches for deals/sales on it when I have time. Does anyone know how comfortable it is? I just love love love the design but the price is not my favorite. I've found sites with prices that differ between $100 -$200...how is that possible?
I got an email from Amy in Ontario letting me know about these adorable pointelle cardigans she spotted online here. She thought I might like them and she was right. The colors are great (yellow = yes please!). You can always use a cardigan in your wardrobe right? Thanks Amy!
How cool is this map? It's kid friendly made of felt and little pieces for them to place around where their heart desires. What a super rad learning tool.
Born shoes are so comfortable and their sandals for this year seem pretty cute. Which ones do you like better? The flats or the heels? I really love the flower don't you?The song for today is a favorite of mine from Jack Johnson. It's one of those songs that make me long for warm weather - it's currently 37 degrees outside! Oh how I long to be at the beach, playing this song on my iPod (it's short so maybe on repeat a few times :D) while watching my little ones build sand castles....
Happy Monday!

love that coral cardigan. another great mpm. it i had a boy he would sport ties like that too. love that song.
I am obviously missing out big time by not using etsy! I need to get on there more, those are such cute things. I love those ties... I'm probably going to have to learn how to tie a tie! So many things I'm unprepared for ;) And I love the jewelry you posted, they are all super cute. And yay that old navy has cute stuff right now. They can be hit and miss, maybe I should buy some not maternity items! That could be exciting, and a cardigan is nice for hiding that flabby tummy! Oh, I'm not looking forward to that!
Could those ties be any cuter??? So fun. And that map is awesome. It would be great in a playroom. That is fun to think that you get to start decorating an entire house soon with so many fun things. Ahh....someday someday!
Erica,
I thought of purchasing one of the same skirt patterns for myself - the Amy Butler one. Please post that one if you wind up having it made. I want to see it.
You asked about fabric. I wanted to let you know that I have a lot of great fabric I am trying to get rid of. You purchased an apron from me forever ago and I have had to put a hault on my sewing since the arrival of my son. I have some great patterns available and would be happy to offer them to you (and any of your readers) for a great price. You can contact me at alisonenglish@bellsouth.net if you are interested in seeing swatches.
Love your blog!
I am loving that map. That would be such a fun thing to hang on the wall. I need to check it out! The ties would be awesome if I had a little boy.
oh those ties are awesome- good find erica! i'm snatching those up for my lil guy!! those patterns & colors are amazing :)
Ryder would be so cute in one of those ties! Thanks for sharing that. I agree the map is awesome. Also, the shoes are very cute. I like the flats in red. Good mpm! :)

Those ties ROCK! I just might have to get Cam one!
So Erica I meant to talk to you about etsy. I have been wanting to start a etsy store for a long time with hairbows, burp cloths you know lots of frilly girl stuff. Anyway I was wondering do you have to get some sort of business license to use etsy as a seller? Also to use paypal do you have to pay a fee as a website owner? Sorry so many questions! Your shop is really cute and it looks like you have made a killing way to go! Your girls looked darling at conference by the way!
Love the white and blue earings! And those shirts...and shoes! But having little boys, love the ties. I'm headed to that shop right now! Awesome post!
