Crushin'

I recently discovered Humans of New York, and it's become a daily ritual. The caption to this picture reads, "The toughest part of the job is witnessing the personal tragedies of the people we're trying to help. [...] We got to the scene of a car accident one time. The father had rolled his car over two embankments, with his wife and two kids in the car. The wife and one of the children had been crushed to death. I'll never forget the father clawing at that car, trying to get them out."

Next time I go to Charleston, I'm making sure to pick up the Butterball bath bomb at Lush.

I'm smitten with this cheery dress!

Oana Befort is currently one of my favorite artists. I love this card! 

This handmade ceramic mug is too cute.

Currently Crushin' On: Patterns

Recently I've found myself drawn to anything with a pattern on it. Well, actually that's nothing new at all. I'm always a fan of a cute pattern. Here's some current Etsy favorites!

Floral Greeting Cards // Striped Cat Studio

Diamond Print Tank Top // Space Mauve

Cloud Washi Tape // More Cozy

1960's Hot Pants // Owlephant Vintage

Origami Birds Tea Towel // Handmade By Me

What are some of your favorite shops or items on Etsy lately? I'd love to see them! :)

*ALSO, I made a Facebook page for my blog, so it'd be awesome if you took a second to "like" it!*

Web Crushin'

1. "Period panties" from Harebrained, a Chicago based designer. These are called Bleeder of the Pack.

2. Larkspur hi-lo dress from Francesca's. Actually, I already bought this for a wedding I'm in this July!

3. Old Fashioned Shaving Set from Mr. Kitty's. I'm planning on getting this for my dad for Father's Day. Corey actually bought some of this stuff straight from the guy at the Fremont Market in Seattle, and I loved him!

4. Kate's post about being able to paint things because you would have never otherwise bought them. I hear things like this from people all the time. I actually scored an antique dresser at an estate sale that's pretty haggard right now, but will be gorgeous soon!

5. I saw this guy and his mom on one of those shows "My Crazy Obsession" or something, and I was so entertained, I stayed up until after 3 a.m. watching it! So oddly CUTE.

By the way, that is a capybara and they're the world's largest rodents. The lady spends the majority of her day taking care of her pet and costs more than I spend weekly on food for myself!
