More and More and More Eggs

This week we are even closer to Easter, and my thoughts keep turning to Easter eggs. All kinds of decorated eggs. The unique kind.

This Lithuanian Easter egg in teeners shop is just AH-MAZING http://www.teener1416.etsy.com/ You'd surely wow your friends and family with one of these. Take a look around her shop, the amazing continues. Beautiful eggs at every turn.

This candle rug or ornament egg is made from clay. Very colorful and very pretty. http://www.claylady42.etsy.com/ Take a spin around this shop for some wonderfully made clay items. I am partial to the clay heart myself!

I love soaps. ALL KINDS. Easter egg SOAP!!! what a special TREAT!!!! Look in http://www.especially4ubyeandt/ and you'll find lots of soap. I love to decorate my bathroom for the holidays with special soaps. Not only eggs here, but some bunnies as well.

HEY CUPCAKE!

Cupcakes! Who can deny the fact that they are fun fun fun, and super partyish!!! Makes you feel like a little kid all over again.

On the buy and stay thread I belong to on etsy, there are so many great sellers, and today I searched shops, looking for something yummy..............yup cupcakes. they make me happy. So.............................in INMYMINDSEYE shop, I find the cutest little crocheted cupcake. Its colorful and wont ever "spoil". Keep it on your desk at work to make you smile, or maybe she'd be willing to make a bunch for you as party favors. http://www.inmymindseye.etsy.com/

Bagsnstuff has a super cute shop as well. Among her jewelry and other items, she does some incredible photo notecards. Each time i see her cupcake notecard listing, I cant help but smile. It is my understanding that she baked them, decorated them, and then took the photo for the card. Extremely colorful!!! How could you help but love them. http://www.bagsnstuff.etsy.com/

Lets take a little trip into thesoapbuffets shop. She has such amazing bath and beauty items. I've purchased a few of these cupcake soaps and they are awesome, plus they look so real!!! I've given a couple as gifts and they've been very well received. I would def shop in her store again. Check out all of the different scents. Visit her at http://www.thesoapbuffet.etsy.com/

Peaches can be the PITS

So, you know how sometimes just out of the blue, a childhood memory pops into your head. I was sitting at the computer the other day and thinking of my dad who passed away over 14 years ago, and recalled that when i was a child, in the summer, dad ate a lot of fruit, esp peaches. We'd wash the peach pits and scrape scrape scrape them on the sidewalk till both sides were flat. Dad would drill a big hole in the center and then i would glue on a pebble or bead for a stone. Voila a peach pit ring! I so wish I had kept one of those. Anyway, I looked around on etsy and found something close. Peach pit earrings! In tabmade's shop on etsy you can find lots of miscellaneous treasures. Browse around. Its quite a fun little place to look. Looking at these earrings remind me of those summer days with dad. Maybe a strange memory for some, but obviously OTHERS like peach pits cause there IS some jewelry out there. http://www.tabmade.etsy.com/

I figured I would stay on the theme of peaches as i browse around my second home, etsy. I found an awesome notecard made by Cynthia of http://www.cynthiavhehrlich.etsy.com/ Its beautifully done and she has lots of other "designs" in her shop. But not just notecards..............OMG, the hearts! You need to check them out. Everyone who knows me, knows that I am all about hearts, so I am def in there drooling.

Next, I think, well, lets not leave out the soap. Bath and beauty seems to be almost as big as jewelry on etsy. And, I do love the soaps. So, what can i find in peach??? I saw this in awomanwithscent's shop. http://www.awomanwithscents.etsy.com/ Not only is it peach, but its paired with pomegranate. This must smell heavenly!!!! Very pretty too. Take a look around her shop for some other wonderful bath items. I'm sure you'll find something you love.

Then, I come across something that is simply peach "colored" in Iryna's shop. http://www.iryna.etsy.com Peach delight neck warmer, buttoned all the way up!!!! Its cute, its frilly and it looks to be extremely well made (take that from a 30 year knitter/crocheter). In any case, its beautiful. She has loads of other awesome designs in her shop. Its getting cool in many parts of the country. Her shop might be just what the doctor ordered!!!

Its all about the FIZZZZZZZZZ

Its relaxing, its pampering, its fizzy, its FUN!!! What more can I say about those wonderful bath and beauty fizzy bath bombs!!! Isnt it time you pampered yourself with one or two or a bunch for that matter! Light a few candles, slip into the tub and FIZZZ FIZZZ FIZZZ and of course relax. We all deserve it! You wouldn't believe how many different kinds I've found.

First, in dugshop's shop I found the most colorful and fun SKULLS!!! I have a friend who is totally into sugar skulls and day of the dead stuff. She would so love these. http://www.dugshop.etsy.com/ Run, dont walk to the shop and look around. I'm positive you will find something you just cant live without. The shop is colorful and oh so fun! Oh, and dont forget FIZZZZZY!

Next I found these absolutely wonderful fizzies in soaps shop at http://www.soapscentsations.etsy.com/ Yes, you are definitely seeing it right. ...... carmel apple fizzies! What could be better? What could be more fun and original. I love them. Of course, I collect hearts so the fact that they are heart shaped only adds to their appeal. Be sure to take a peek in the shop and browse browse browse. There are some absolutely amazing items listed. You'll want to pick up a few.

Keep in mind that the holidays are right around the corner. Bath fizzies fit perfectly into those holiday stockings!!! You can never shop too early. If you surf over on http://www.etsy.com you will find loads of other bath and body shops offering up all other kinds of body yummies for your holiday gift giving. Happy shopping

AH CHOCOLATE

Something about chocolate is just so good, its sinful! Every diet I have ever blown has been for chocolate. But what can I say, its creamy, its yummy, its sweet and its color is even warm and inviting to look at.







In honor of chocolate, I found a few yummies in some shops on etsy.com that I just knew I had to share here. First http://www.thesoapbuffet.etsy.com/ has some brownies that you can wash up with. Thats right, these delectibles are not really edible, as they are not real chocolate, but soap! Ever see anything like it? Prob not. So, I'd say you need some. Browse around her shop. She has all sorts of wonderful soap products.







Look no further than etsy if you're looking for some one of a kind OOAK chocolate items. http://www.sandyssundries.etsy.com/ has THE MOST adorable jellies. They are fun and cute but of course not edible. These little sea creatures would look darling sitting on a little girls frilly bed. Sandys shop has several different types of jellies, but we are interested today in the chocolate variety. he sure is a cutie!





http://www.earcrma.etsy.com/ tells me that she makes chocolate carmels upon request. They certainly do sound delectible! Pictured here is one of her listings of a variety pack. But if you LOVE LOVE chocolate like me, don't hesitate to message her and ask about a custom order.



If you want to do a little browsing in MY shop, you will find some chocolate goodies there as well. I just listed some of my mini chocolate washcloths. Great for removing make up and exfoliating your face. They are 100% cotton and super soft. These were a big hit for stocking stuffers last year, so I am hoping for the same again this year. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/

Easter Bunny Soap

I have seem to become a soap collector ever since I joined etsy and have found all the novelty, cute and of course great smelling and useful soaps for sale there. I have more than I would ever wash with, but of course some are too pretty to actually use. If you visit LoveleeSoaps shop http://www.loveleesoaps.etsy.com/ you will ooooh and ahhhh over the cute, whimsy and great quality look of all her soaps. With Easter in mind, and here I am trying to fill baskets, I've been searching around to see what would "fit". She has the cutest bunny soap in her shop ............scented plumeria (one of my fave scents), cucumber melon and what else of course, but chocolate! This little guy would look darling perched inside an Easter basket.







Soap, soap and more soap.......................i found these absolutely adorable, hard to pass up bunny soaps in Sassyfrass's shop. http://www.sassyfrass.etsy.com They are actually egg shaped soaps, with a fruity scent, and inside the soap is a little bunny toy. The packaging on each one looks great. I ordered four for my basket fillers and cant wait to receive them. Sassyfrass is relatively new to etsy, so please show her shop some love and stop by today. I think you'll easily smile at all of her goodies.



GemsandDolls has some awfully cute Easter items in her shop. But sticking with my theme of Easter soap today, what really caught my eye in her shop was the white bunnies (spring rain scented) and as she describes them in her listing: Good Clean Fun. How can you pass these up? They are bright white, bunny shaped, and just plain fun clean looking! Browse her shop and take a look at some of her other items. The "marshmallow scent" really piques my interest. I hope you will visit her today. http://www.gemsanddolls.etsy.com/
