A peek at an etsy fave

So, I have decided that I need a chore board. You may be thinking "oh that's a great way to get kids involved in housekeeping." Yes it is, but we have no children. Hubster and I need one for ourselves. We are both so busy with "real" jobs, creating, building, and etsy that we sometimes forget some of the day to day household operations that must occur to live in a peaceful and well rounded environment. So I browsed etsy and found this fun set of chore cards by soapstarmom The basic set includes 32 chores such as load dishwasher, dust pictures,counter tops, and wash windows. She also has a supplemental pack with chores such as change sheets and sweep and mop, and for those of you with children, a child set reminding them to brush their teeth and do their homework. She also has a nifty personalized board on which to hang her lovely chore cards. I think with a fun set like this I would be a super organized wonder woman, with a house that ran so efficiently, that Martha would be asking for tips. Well, ok maybe I am stretching that a bit but it is a fun item that would remind me "hey get of the etsy forums and load the dishwasher!"

just listed and one of my hearts

Just listed in my etsy shop are the fun autumn inspire hang tags. You get 5 tags each of six different patterns. All hand strung and ready to go. Great for scrapbookers, gift givers, and sellers alike! Check them out.




And to show it is not all about me, how about a peek in to my hearted etsy favorites.
This cute little "tab" is by Circa Ceramics It has sold out already, of course. I must have good taste. My favorites sell out like lightening fast.

fancy smancy lunch bag

Since I am determined to lose the new found biscuit weight, I have been trying to do better at eating the right foods at the right times. I am a very bad eater. It is not that I eat tons of junk. I just don't eat often. I will survive on coffee most of the day at work because I am "too busy", and then eat too large of a meal when I get home. I must do better. I need to plan nutritious meals to take to work and commit to actually eat them! But what should I carry my nourishment in? A plain ol' brown paper lunch sack is no fun. This inspired me to search etsy for lunch bags.

I love love love this one from rickrackqueen's shop. It is made from oilcloth so it is cleanable. And I love the colors. I am going through a deco inspired color phase right now. I love the baby blues and jadite greens with a splash of read. Especially cherries. I can't get enough of cherry prints right now. But, alas this bag has sold. Shucks.


I also love this one from lotnineteen. It is so classy looking and I love the contrast of the linen and cotton print. And the drawstring to keep my nutritious goodies in place.

So, I have some more browsing to do. And I probably need to convince myself a little more that if I have a fancy smancy lunch bag, will I be apt to use it? Well sure!
