In my favourites.

My favourites on Etsy are so full; 186 pages!! Now, I'm sure that there are many people who have many more pages than I, but it's a lot to me. I remember being so glad when I saw the "Search" bar! Here are a few of my new favourites. Today's theme is DIY:

1. Burning Terracotta Yarn - Dye for Wool

2. Pecan Tree Branch Buttons - Catie Crochets

3. Cowl Crochet Pattern - Hover

4. Shabby Chic Painted Frames - Huckleberry Vintage

5. Hand Chrocheted Wool Afgan - KB Originals Etc

I can totally see a fabulous cowl with the terracotta yarn, using that awesome cowl pattern... now if I could only follow a pattern...

I really love the idea of finding vintage wood frames and painting them all the same colour - it would be great for collections! I think it's to the thrift store for me!!

Those wood buttons would be great for the red circle pillow I want to make (I talked about that here)!

And who doesn't want a warm, wool afgan?! Great for snuggling!

What's in your favourites?

ps - I actually am away this weekend, to a couples retreat - I'll tell you all about it later - I love scheduling blog posts; it's such a handy feature!

My Christmas Want-list

So, for all who are just longing for some sort of clue as to what I want for Christmas, I'm going to make it super easy this year. Here is my list:

1. Hand Knit Cable Beret - $60.00

2. Long Boho Earrings - €20.00

3. Nagy Bag in Teal - $42.00

4. Cashmere Wool Bag - $149.67

5. Genuine Amethyst Earrings - $52.00

6. White Jewellery Organizer - €140.00

7. Long Linen Vintage French Scarf - €36.00

Easy-peasy. I am aware that there are two bags on this list. I really, really love bags. And I don't have that much jewellery to fit on this jewellery organizer, but I probably will someday, and I'd much rather have to build up than scale down. See how practical I am? lol

What to get me for Christmas or my birthday

For the multitude of you *snort* who are wondering and wondering what to get me for Christmas (or my birthday!), here is a definitive list for you. I know that I don't give you enough hints as it is (with my want lists), so I thought I'd name this post for what it is "What to get Shirley for Christmas or her birthday". lol

Turquoise Purse

Leather Wrap Bracelet

Leather Wristlet - with two compartments!

Peach Lipstick

Mustard Yellow Cowl

My want list.

In all fairness and to be precise, I cannot call it my "wish" list anymore. Wishing is hoping for something that is practically unattainable, I think; something that many people think would take magic for it to come about. And since I don't believe in magic (SHH! don't tell...), I guess I can't have a 'wish' list in good conscience, can I? So I've changed it to my want list. And here is what I want:

These bowls are so beautiful - I just love the blue inside the bowl and the clean white on the outside.

These doily coasters are just lovely!
I wouldn't have to worry about my daughter breaking these, as I am about the ones we have now...

I have wanted these earrings for about 2 years now.
They are just brilliant. I just love the messy balls of silver.

I even know where I want to hang this in my home!

Here are a few of the items I would like to purchase for me.

I have never worn hoops before, and I think these would be a great pair to break myself in.
