Today I had every intention of making an early morning post to give some great Back Friday finds. What happened? I’ve spent far too much time looking for Black Friday deals for Christmas presents. It was addictive and it doesn’t bod well for Boxing Day.

I did find a few wedding things. A somewhat okay .: dress site :. in the U.S. where you may be able to find something for yourself. I just can’t speak for the company. Hopefully one of you knows if it’s worth it!

Obviously it didn’t take me long to go to Etsy. My goodness. Major sales over there. I wasn’t going to bother posting anything about Black Friday but the great thing with Etsy (and many other places I found) is their online sales are extended through the weekend. I was drawn to the Etsy bling and thought I would share a bit with you!

To Love Somebody

June 27, 2009

It was a little bit later than expected. Thirteen days to be exact. Reem was, um, ‘anxious’ to see her sweet pea born. Yes, we’ll go with the word anxious.

Happily we received news a few hours after baby’s birth that SHE had arrived. All ten fingers and ten toes were accounted for and mom & baby were completely healthy. The moment we had all been waiting had arrived! So what was the name?

This week I went on a hunt for cool finds either in Toronto (or the areas closeby) or things about Toronto. I found a great assortment!


Sam the Record Man was an icon in Toronto and is sadly now gone. Thankfully there were photographers such as .: digitalkangaroo :. around to document the landmark.

Funk To Funky

I caught a glimpse of something on Etsy this week that was green … so I decided to do a search for that colour. Hours later, I came up with a few I wanted to share ;)

With the birds chirping all around me today, I thought I would look for some bird-inspired finds on Etsy. Soon into my search I found I was drawn to the items with peacocks so here’s a full post with some of my faves!

Description and shop are below each photo.

We’re obviously full on into wedding season now so the blog has been quiet. I’m hoping everyone will be back on a regular basis soon though! To tie you over a bit, I revisited the wedding dresses on Etsy … they didn’t disappoint! Here is some eye-candy for you …

Missing you from down low

March 29, 2009

By now, MM should have finally left Canada and is who knows how many feet up in the air, flying towards his new desert home. This means I won’t be able to talk to him for a few days, as he settles into his desert cubby. :-/

What better way to distract my wistful self than some retail therapy, you say? I agree! Here are some today’s finds from mTs’ fave site, Etsy.

I’m back! Playing catch-up like mad so blogging is taking a back seat for now. I had to get this post out though …

Since I find myself in need of a new bag, I thought I’d share some awesome ones off of Etsy with you!

Pretty as a peacock

February 27, 2009

When discussing our wedding with various women, I’ve been interested in how many times I get asked about dresses. Not just my dress (“THE dress” as some have put it) but the bridesmaids’ dresses as well. I’m asked what colour, what style, etc.

Thing is, I don’t have much of an opinion. I really just want the three ladies standing up with me to look good. I figured that I would just pick a couple of colours and let them go out and find something that looks good on them, in that same fabric and colour.


But nope, it isn’t that simple. Yet another part of wedding planning that ends up being less about planning and more about making it up as we go along.

It’s a gray today today so in an attempt to feel warmer virtually, let’s explore Etsy in FELT! :)

I’ll start with something wedding related to keep the brides-to-be happy …
