Vintage Find!

  I was so pleased to have found these sweet vintage "jewels" on Etsy from Denim Rose Vintage out of New Jersey. For those that know me personally, you know that is it rare to find me without one of my many vintage, pot-metal necklaces. I have one great piece from my grandmother - circa 1950s or so? - and others that I've been collecting along the way.  My orange necklace is the one I sport most often, but I didn't have anything in gray!
  Until now! I was so excited to unwrap this new piece - that came complete with matching bracelet and pair of clip on earrings(!!!) - so I thought I would share!

Hooray! Now I have gray!!

Just Hatched!!

For The Love Of Spring!

  So we are still a ways away from warmer temps here in MN, but the McBrides are already dreaming of Spring - *sigh*. And Spring of course brings to mind lovely, happy colors - Orange, Yellow, Green and Gray are our favs or course (Silence to those of you thinking "um, gray gray isn't really a color" - We care not! We do not treat Gray any differently in this household as it is a staple of our furniture, accessories, clothing, and several-a-spray painting-project. Take that!) - And what is easier than stripes we ask? The answer = solid color - but solids, however, do not make for very interesting imagery.

  Lovely striped items available on etsy - I *may have purchased the yellow diagonal stripe Washi Tape (and some gray as well...) It comes in SO handy! Striped paper straws, bakers twine and tiny baby loafers - Ah, Springtime :)

V-Day For All! And to All a Few Smooches!

  So I recently had a go at the "Treasury" function on Etsy - how users can create/curate their own little collection of favorites/themed items - whatever you want to group together from Etsy - and I thought it was pretty fun. Within a minute of created this V-day inspired Treasury, someone "liked" it and added it to their list of fav. treasuries. I guess that's a thing, so...

  Here is my list of V-day items for Home, for Littles, for My Mister, and for Me! (notice how 2 of my Yellow Finch.Gray Day items landed in this list. I think it's poor "Treasury Etiquette," but too bad!)

   It's safe to say that since I launched my shop, Yellow Finch.Gray Day on Etsy, I've been spending a bit of time perusing...and of course shopping...I *may have a few things coming my way in the mail....

  So perhaps I'll make a few more treasuries here and there...
