Etsy Buys

I made a couple purchases on Etsy this week.

I think Etsy is such a great place for unique, inexpensive jewelry. I fell in love with these simple hexagon studs from Vivid by Esther. The're bold, yet simple, and can be either edgy or classy, depending on what clothes and makeup I wear. I'm excited to get them in the mail!


I also bought some washi tape from Pretty Tape. I'm planning on using it in my travel journals by taping ticket stubs, photos, or bits of paper I find in Paris.


Have you bought anything from Etsy recently? Or have you seen any posts about travel journaling? I could use some ideas!

Thank You Cards

I caught the painting bug recently, and decided to express this new surge in creativity by painting some cards. At first, staring at the blank surfaces, I felt lost and didn't know what to draw. But then I just started drawing, free of self-judgement, and I'm happy with how they turned out!

I was inspired by Katie Daisy's amazing artwork, go admire her work here!

I'm not finished with the one on the right. I bought these blank cards and envelopes at Joann.

Perhaps I should start selling hand-painted cards in my Etsy shop? It did take me a while to paint these though, so I'm not sure if selling these would be worth the time required, and I'm not sure how much people would be willing to pay for these cards.
