The scarf that will forever keep me warm
Scarves seem to be the topic these days. It will only continue!
I told you I was addicted to Etsy. When I was doing my Christmas shopping (yes, I am finished with the exception of my Boyfriends main gift) I decided to do it all online this year, and mostly on the wonderful place of etsy. I have no idea how I found this person, but I did and I’m glad I did at the right time because she was having a free shipping sale for her handmade scarves. Handmade people! This scarf I am wearing, was actually made to order, for me!! It came to a total of $30 USD with free shipping (which would only be $4 anyway to Canada), and since our CAN dollar is near par with USD as of today ($1.01!), it’d be a great gift. I would however suggest that you order one that is pre-made in order to get it for Christmas, if that is what you were planning to do.
Isn’t it amazingly gorgeous? What you all don’t know about me, is that when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life, I was enrolled in a two year Arts program at a college. I learned to weave, and I loved it so much so that my Mom considered buying me a loom. Until I objected saying it was the most retarded thing she had ever suggested. Even though I loved making place mats and thick scarves for others when I was 18, I didn’t know it could turn into something so beautiful. So if you like my super long warm scarf, you may want to very well check out Nit’s Etsy shop and get one for yourselves. I’ve favored a couple of them since my purchase and am definitely going to buy more things, after Christmas when I have a few bucks back in my pocket.
Oh no! I want it all.
Someone needs to take me away from Etsy, or I’ll shop my credit card into major debt. I’m dead serious too. My Mom and Boyfriend aren’t online shoppers, and they’re the main people who usually buy presents for me (birthday and Christmas) so unfortunately ;) I’m left with trying to limit myself on what I should buy myself.
So, etsy. My new favorite website has helped me do some online Christmas shopping way in advance and I’m almost complete. Wanna see what I’m just oggling over for myself now? I shouldn’t be so selfish, but I can’t help but show you guys how awesome these things are. Alright, let’s go!
Ugh, I love colorful purses. I don’t even own a plain black, brown or white one. All of my purses are in vibrant shades. I love it that way. I think this purse is a bit huge though, so I don’t think I’d purchase it. Mmm blue. I want a nice slate/grey/blue purse. This color isn’t it, obviously. But that’s what I want.
This plum shade? Yeeees please. Again, too huge to be practical. I like them a few inches smaller than that.
Dead serious about considering buying this. Can you believe it’s handmade!!? Incredible.
Not so fond on this shade of green. But this would be nice in white, or charcoal grey.
Nice. But they’re made of vinyl. Bleh.
Onto the clothing. This looks so comfy. Minus the nip’s. Plz wear a bra.
I think I am seriously going to consider this sweater, too. Wouldn’t match the lime green saddle purse I listed above, but nice to wear on the weekend, none the less. I need some skinny jeans.
Also a must-have. Maybe a Christmas present to me, from my Mom, bought by me? Does that work? I think I’m liking grey sweaters lately.
You know “Enjoy Coca-Cola” how the lettering is all fanc’ed up like that? That’s where the designer got her idea from. I ENJOY it, as I’m a coke drinker myself (Representin” diet caffeine free!).
Since it’s getting chilly out there lately, you can’t forget the love for your hands! Aren’t these wicked? I think I’m sold on the color.
I’m a messy cook. Ok, not really. I just hate it when meat juice splatters on me, especially on my clothes. Or even spaghetti sauce. I HATE having to change in the middle of when I’m cooking. But then again, if I got this – I’d hate to spill anything on it. Contradictory, no?
So impractical. I think they’re slippers, which is more sensible. But I think these would look cute.
One word: Swoon.
I don’t have a purpose for a little journal book like this. But I want it anyway.
Since we have a hedgehog (I rarely mention him, because he hates me and I’m terrified of him) named Boris, I thought this was cute. I almost thought of purchasing it for my boyfriend for Christmas, but key chains are kinda girly, and then I thought I’d get it for myself. It’s still on my “favorited” list on etsy however. Just sitting there. Waiting to be bought.
I also picked out a thing or two for my readers. I know I mentioned this ages ago, that I’ll be having a giveaway. I haven’t forgotten about it yet, I just want a few awesome “nancy’s favorites” to give out, and it’s taking me a while to think of some things lol.
That’s it folks. Just oggling over on Etsy today. Help me?
Wednesday ramble shamble
Another trip to the dentist, another filling replaced. I’m starting to like this white toothy smile! After I had a couple of teeth pulled on the top pre-braces, my teeth have shifted and now all you can used too see, was silver fillings on my molars. Now they’re all white! Hooray for new inventions with fillings. I was told once by my family dentist back home that silver ones actually last longer. Well, it didn’t seem that way for me — and I actually had to have one of my silver ones replaced since it was “leaking”. Scary!
I’m moving out this weekend. A lot sooner than I had hoped. Primarily because it’s a one-man moving show out here. The boyfriend (mainly) and I. He wants to help me move a while before the trip to B.C just so he doesn’t re-injure his shoulder so close to our big Ironman Canada trip to BC. I have everything mostly packed up, I just need to buy another rubbermaid container and I’m set. I gotta tell ya. Moving 7 times in 3 years definitely makes you purge a lot of your belongings each time you move to a new place. There’s just too much stuff. I remember when I first moved up here, I had 3 suit cases with all of my belongings and that was it. When I went home for Christmas, I brought back more stuff to Ontario. After a few moves, I’ve thrown stuff out / recycled it / gave it to good will. I’m almost back down to my 3 suit cases where I started off three years ago. It’s a good feeling. I actually have one suitcase that is filled with stuff that I haven’t used since I was in my apartment when I moved in, in January. 8 months! I say, if you don’t use it within 6-12 months, chuck it. But certain things have sentimental value that I really can’t come to part with, and some of it’s useful — like thank you cards from etsy, and pens!! I love pens. And stationary. And paper clips.
Pardon the random brain thoughts today.
Also. What’s with cranking the A/C so I have goosebumps? That’s one of the most annoying things in the world to me. You want to be cooled off, but not feel as if you’re actually stepping into a deep freeze. Wtf. I am COLD.
