Fabulous Find Friday - EmilysLittleTreasure

So I admit I haven't been keeping up with my blog. Life happens right?

I found something I just have to share with you. Gdiapers have become a popular alternative to both cloth and disposable diapers. They are like a cloth diaper cover with a disposable insert. Well EmilysLittleTreasure had the great idea of making cloth inserts for them. With her inserts you can have the best of both worlds totally cloth when you want, or semi disposable when you don't. You can buy them at here at her Etsy store.

A rave about an Etsy shop

It's not very often I treat myself. Infact I almost never treat myself, I'm always saving my money for a rainy day or buying things the kids need. It's even more rare that I buy myself earrings. I have a sensitivity to nickel and can only wear pure metals. Well the rainy day came and I bought myself a pair of earrings from Alibli I cannot say enough good things about this seller. Super fast shipping, great communication, adorable packaging, quality product, reasonable price. I totally recommend Alibli. Stop by next time you want to treat yourself or someone special.

Fabulous Find Fridays - Digital Stamp Oasis

I am always on the hunt for creative projects for my little ones. I stumbled across Digital Stamp Oasis. What she makes and sells are digital stamps. Black and white line drawings you can resize and print off. I think they would make wonderful colouring pages, especially for the front of greeting cards. You could also use them in your own projects. So versitile!

Fabulous Finds Friday - PoshDots

This week I'm featuring PoshDots. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5507799

I can't remember the first time I saw PoshDots work. Probably on the Etsy front page. I do remember that I've loved her letters from the very beginning. It would be darling in so many places. I'm thinking of getting a giant one for above our fireplace in our new home.

Reading PoshDots profile I learned her youngest has an extra chromosome which, relates to my "real" job where I diagnose chromosomal abnormalities. I am going to leave you with a quote from PoshDots profile.

I recently read this great quote used by a former student..."An idea can
turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it." How
true!

Fabulous Finds Friday - Down In The Meadow Market

Okay, okay I realize it's not Friday, it's Saturday morning. I completely forgot about posting last night. Silly me.

Today's featured seller is Down in the Meadow Market aka Downinthemeadow http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6904804

She is located in South Africa and makes the most adorable knitted creations from hand spung merino wool, which means they will be super soft. In her shop announcements she says "It will leave you feeling like you have just walked through a country fair...." which is so true.

My favourite are the pigs. Although I'm a city girl now I grew-up on a pig farm and I had stuffed toy pigs as a child. What's that expression. You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.

Fabulous Finds Friday - LeahPellegrini

My find of the week is LeahPellegrini and her glass art http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=66888 She makes these fabulous mobiles. I can just see one dancing away in a sunny window like happiness on a wire. The bottom one was designed to hang from a car's rear view mirror. What a great idea.

For you blog-aholics like me you can visit her blog http://www.leahglass.blogspot.com/

Fabulous Finds Friday - Superflykidz

Time for another fabulous finds Friday. This week I've choosen Superflykidz. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5058462

Santa brought a pair of her capes to our house this year. My boys have had a blast as "Super boy and Captain Destructo". I luv how the capes are customizable, inexpensive and easy to get on and off.

These are pics of my own boys. Superflykidz has even more pictures in her Etsy shop.

Fabulous Find Friday - Electric Boogaloo

Tiffany Ard the artist behind Electric Boogaloo http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5002595 describes herself as "the biggest nerd you've ever met." I think she may be closely followed by me. I'm a cytogenetic technologist by day which translated means I grow cells and use a microscope to examine their chromosomes (DNA structures). I luv Electric Boogaloo's Nerdy Art, especially her Nerdy Baby Art.

The above picture is is my fav because of the letter Y.

The one below is called "I love my microscope". I think I should hang it above mine at work to remind me how much I love mine, especially on the days I'd rather be anywhere else.

ByNanasHands - made with love

Fabulous Finds Friday - MissPrettyPretty Playhouse

I choose this fabulous playhouse for my very first Fabulous Find Friday (or technically Thurdsay night) post.

I first saw Missprettypretty's shop when one of her playhouses was featured in an Etsy Gift Guide. I can see why, each is so detailed, well constructed and the fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles. She customises each to fit over your existing folding table and when not in use they fold down to be stored nearly anywhere. Genius!

Of course the firestation is my favourite. The only thing that's missing is a dalmatian. Check out her shop for all of her other wonderful creations. http://missprettypretty.etsy.com/
