Not your average Pooh blanket

I am sorry to offend any mothers out there...but I can not stand silly, cheezy kids clothes, blankets, etc. It makes me cringe to see kids running around with Winnie the Pooh on their clothes. (Again, my apologies to any moms out there who dress their kids with Pooh on their shirts)

So, as you know, I love Etsy. So, these are not your average baby blankets. They are cool, cute, fashionable and I will not be embarrassed for your baby when I see them carrying these around.

Fashion Flea

Today some girlfriends and I went to a "boutique fair" and I found the most awesome booth ever! Laura, revamps vintage purses. How awesome is that? I bought several things from her, so I thought I should plug her purses.

Her website is http://www.fashionflea.com/ . I tend to gravitate towards vintage finds, so you know I spent about 20 minutes at her booth. My sister actually had to come and get me and let me know we were running out of time, we only had an hour to get through the rest of the fair! (don't worry, we made it through every last booth.)

PostSecret

My friend Aimee bought this book and let me read it. I was hooked. Ever since then I go and check out the blog at PostSecret.blogspot.com. Basically, people send anonymous post cards into this random man in Maine, and he piles them all together in books and a blog. Some are hilarious, some make you very sad and others make you think. So, if you get bored a lot (like I do), check it out.

Makes a great coffee table book!

Soap Not on a Rope

This may be random, but I came across these really cute bars of soap. I would give them as a hostess gift! Staying overnight at someones house for the holidays? Don't show up empty handed. Show up with these fun bars of soap. Random? Maybe. But unique, fun and everybody can use a bar of soap, right?

A Tree Grows Here

I found these cute little Shadow Projectors on UncommonGoods.com. Light a candle behind them and they project shadows on the wall. I just thought it was a brilliant gift! How great would these look on a mantle? A simple candle will not do...make a statement!

Show Off Your Pics!

My friend bought her little girl a personalized picture frame, and it is so cute! She has it on her dresser and I love looking at it every time I walk in the baby's room. So, get your own personalized photo frame at PersonalizationMall.com, will make a great gift!

Bracelets

I found these awesome winter bracelets on etsy.com. These bracelets just look warm and cozy to me. They are made of Soft Merino wool that is hand dyed. There are a ton of amazing colors and if they were all layered, I think it would look gorgeous. Think of it as bangles for the winter!

Hot Pink & Handy

I found this Hot Pink Tool Set on LadiesToolsOnline.com . My mom gave me a tool set one year for Christmas and I use it constantly. My set is green...totally wish it was pink! Every strong, independent woman should have her own tool set!

And Mary Kay parties are so 1987. You can now be a Ladies Tools Online rep! Who would have thought!

Colorful LOVE

How awesome is this print? I came across this fantastic website, etsy.com in my endless Internet wanderings. What is better? It comes in many colors and it can be yours for the low, low price of $25! How cute would this be for a birthday gift for a friend, or even a baby gift! If you are tired of giving boring baby gifts that only include burp rags and baby bottles, you should check this out. It is different, colorful, gorgeous and sure to be loved by any recipient.
