This weeks Monday's My Pick is a WHOLE shop! Fleurs de Pomme. Such a sweet shop! She has necklaces, brooches, rings, and hair pins (I'm so addicted to hair pins!)... Please check it out! AND, she's VERY nice! One thing I absolutely LOVE about handmade Etsy shops are that they are run by real people. I love it. Don't forget to also take a peek at her blog. She's very sweet and I'm sure she would love to hear from you! (She's also donated the prize for the vote off).


Here's what April (or Apple, her nickname) says: "Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by. All fabric flowers are made from deconstructed, thrifted clothing (sometimes vintage, always laundered) and various beads (sometimes vintage). Each flower is cut, singed and assembled by hand. Quantities of each style will depend on the size of garment used and what beads are on hand."





Just a little reminder...

Thursday's Three: Beach time!

It's so nice here in the Northwest today... I want to go to the beach! We have a beach themed Thursday's Three this week.

1) So, I LOVE this swimsuit. I'm still a little uncomfortable showing off my post c-section belly. :) This way I can have a pretty swimsuit that covers! I want! I want! PLEASE check out their Etsy shop.

Monday's My Pick ... Rose City Sweets


{Ruari sleeping at 6 months}


{Shhhh.}

Ruari and I let Mike spend a couple hours doing whatever he wanted at home while we ran off to the Summit of Awesome (put on by Hello Craft). We met up with Roxana (Cositas Bellas). It was just a small little craft fair... but, we had a nice little inspiring day.

I ended up only purchasing one goodie (although I wanted to buy EVERYTHING). I bought a little brittle covered marshmallow on a stick from Rose City Sweets. The proceeds of the marshmallows were going to a school for homeless children. So, I spent my $2.


It was a VERY tasty $2! And, all the yummy samples she had! MMmmmmm. I ALWAYS love brittle and chocolate. And, this was good.

So, this weeks Monday My Pick is a whole shop: Rose City Sweets. Trust me, these are very tasty and the shop owner is VERY sweet (like her treats). And, she dresses so cute for her shows too! Please check out her shop and show her some love. Enjoy!
