It's Etsy Saturday. Rather than reviewing a shop this week, I am going to introduce you to my favorite feature. It's called POUNCE! When I first discovered Etsy, I was a bit overwhelmed by the site. One day I stumbled upon this feature that randomly shows you either items that have just been sold or items that are from "undiscovered" sellers. You can choose which section you would like to pounce through.
Today I am going to share a few of my favorite pounce results from this week. I have not purchased from these sellers and can not testify to quality or customer service. However, I am only featuring shops with 100% positive feedback.
These boys ties from BubbaMae are just darling. It is so hard to find cute ties for my boys. They often look like old man ties without that youthful exuberance. I think these look super young and fresh. BubbaMae's shop also has hair accessories for girls, a lot of cuteness to check out.
And you can't have well dressed boys without dolling up your little girl. Orange is my favorite color on L and I just fell in love with the bright bold colors and design of this pillowcase dress found at Creative Bee 706. I also really like the one shouldered tie feature. Most pillowcase dresses I've seen before tie at both shoulders.
Now that the kids are dressed for spring, let's spruce up the house a bit. A throw pillow is an easy and often inexpensive way to give a room a new look. I think this fuchsia pillow cover from The Home Centric is fabulous! Of course my husband would never let me put a bright pink pillow on our couch or bed, but you can't blame a girl for dreaming. The shop has tons of beautifully and intricately decorated pillow coverings, ones my husband would even approve of.
I want to shout out how much I want to adopt this cute felt owl but I can't. You see, her name is Little Miss Whisper and apparently she is startled by loud sounds. She is just small enough to sneak in a little feminine spring decor without upsetting the testosterone levels in your home. She comes from the shop OrdinaryMommy but if you ask me this mommy must be extraordinary to create this little beauty.
Have a great weekend!
Love your blog! So fun, glad you chose my shop as one of your pounce favorites (didn't even know etsy did that ... so checking it out) I think we should do a give away are a coupon code for your readers! What do you think!

So many wonderful finds! Thanks so much for including Little Miss Whisper. I'm pretty sure she finds herself adjusting to noisy places, as my three wee ones can conjure up enough noise to wake those slumbering a thousand years. Happy Spring!
