Favorite Vintage Finds of the Week- April 8th

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I can’t believe that it is already the second week of April! This year is just flying by! The first thing I always think of with this month is “April showers bring May flowers, which is pretty true here in the south. I love spring rain storms, especially since they help wash away all that icky pine pollen that coats everything a bright yellow about this time each year. So this week I was inspired by spring showers and have collected a fun group of vintage rainy day finds for you. You can always see more of the many vintage items I adore on my pinterest. Here are my favorites for this week:

I Heart Etsy Fridays- Pig and Pumpkin

Today I have a super cute Etsy shop to share with you, Pig and Pumpkin. Meghan Downing, the artist behind the brand, creates the most fantastic and whimsical ornaments and tabletop sculptures. I just adore the personality that each of her little figures posses! She works with wood, paper clay, and felt fiber mediums, and molds them all by hand in her little studio in Tulsa. She has all kinds of really cute animal figures, but I also love that she has a bunch of holiday themed figures and ornaments as well! Of course, I love them all! Here are just a few of my favorites:

Favorite Vintage Finds of the Week- February 27th

I found so many cute things on Etsy vintage this week! I happened across a set of vintage circus themed glasses, and then did a search for vintage circus and have just been lost in the cuteness for days! So, this week I am posting my favorite vintage circus finds. I have to admit, I have a total love for vintage circus items, which is funny, since I am also completely against the way the circus treats their animals, and am pretty anti circus at the same time. It’s the adorable brightly colored imagery, the lovely stripes, and the oh so cute animals that I swoon over. Take a peek at the amazing circus finds discovered this past week:
