etsy . warm finds

i've just made a treasury and i wanted to share

it here with all of you. treasuries are only up
for so long, and i think these sellers
should be shown off here as well!
{in this treasury: CoquelicotSalon, MIXKO, retrofied,
PollyDanger, BlissCandies, NuxieMade, corrieberrypie,
sarahjanestudios, DuBuhDuDesigns, sweetpeababy,
littlestflower, TimelessVixenVintage}

all of these items are amazing, but I really
wanted to detail a couple of shops

I love these gloves from Coquelicot Salon. I
definitely need a pair before it gets too cold outside!

these art dolls from Du Buh Du Designs are amazing.
so talented. and of course, the artist is a fellow
Oregonian. i have to love that!

oh my goodness. how good do these look? everything in
this shop looks absolutely delicious! perfect gift for the
holidays for that someone special, or a gift for yourself!
check out Bliss Candies.

zucchini bread . recipe time

I made zucchini bread today! I've tweaked

and played with this recipe quite a bit.
I'm finally happy with it. Its low sugar and low oil.
Not super sweet, but sugar can be added.

Handmade Baby Gifts

I love purchasing handmade items. It supports
small businesses and you get unique one of a kind items.
This is why I like Etsy. I know of course that there is
no way I can get ALL of my baby supplies handmade, but
I can ask friends and family to buy my gifts handmade and
try to get as much as I can through Etsy.

A few handmade toys from Etsy...

These are such fun toys. Some teethers, bowling
sets, and crayons. They even have some cute
artwork. I definitely love this shop! AND, its in my
town. Yay Portland! Find these at: Kitty BB Love

The cutest little baby rattle/teethers. They are
made of wool and wood. Find these
at: The Scarlet Wood


Felt food toys for children of all ages. They are so
sweet! Check them out at: Mud Pie Kids
