Do you love shopping on Etsy? I do. I think I even mentioned in a past post that I'm totally addicted to Etsy. I just love browsing through all the beautiful, hard-to-find products made locally and from all over the world. To me, Etsy is the ultimate place to be for anything gorgeous and handmade!
With that said, here are a few of my most recent finds on Etsy. I'm sure you'll enjoy browsing through these fabulous Etsy designers' shops as much as I do!
*LooseCabooseDesigns - This store features beautiful Amy Butler's fabric handbags and purses, wristlets, and embroidered tees. I've always been in awe of beautiful floral designs in fabric purses, like this Stella in Red and White purse and this Delicious Floral Bag that LooseCabooseDesigns make. I love the blending of retro and modern elements in the designs and styles of their bags. The adorable little pouches can't be ignored as well, like this Echino Pouch, in a pretty olive-colored Japanese fabric with aqua and hot pink mums all around- gorgeous! I'd love to use it as a makeup bag or for personal accessories that I carry in my purse. Are you a dog or cat lover? Then you'll love this embroidered upholstery fabric Dogs and Cats Pouch featuring a fab-looking gal with dogs and cats. From $8-$48, at LooseCabooseDesigns on Etsy.
*Boojiboo - Marisa and Izabelle are behind the stylish, vintage-inspired aprons for women and little girls on Boojiboo. The whimsical designs and cute prints on their full and half aprons bring to mind style, sexiness and cuteness of a bygone 1940's era. The style and the mixing of fun colors in this Chloe Vintage Inspired Full Apron and the very feminine sweetheart neckline of this Bella Vintage Inspired Full Apron look to me like they're adorable little dresses than kitchen aprons. If you prefer wearing a half style apron instead of a full one, Boojiboo has got those too! Now you can really look in style- even in the kitchen- with these chic, lovely aprons from Boojiboo. From $18.75- $28.75 at Boojiboo on Etsy.
*TenDigitCreations - A unique shop on Etsy that sells and makes richly-scented candles and beautiful handmade bead jewelry, TenDigitCreations is definitely a must-see. Just take a look at this gorgeous Turqoise and Topaz glass bead necklace with antique fluted beads and this lively pair of green and pink Spring Fling earrings... I love them! And the candles that they carry- richly scented, dye-free, premium soy wax blend containing lead-free wicks. You can even choose from over 100 candle scents- how cool! I am loving the vibrant, fruity scent of Be Delicious candles right now. This is TenDigitCreations' fun interpretation of the new Donna Karan fragrance which is a mouth-watering blend of green apple, grapefruit and white amber. Haven't been to this one-of-a-kind Etsy shop yet? Why not visit them today? Just go to TenDigitCreations on Etsy. 
*Paperhill Studio - I have never seen such elegant, vintage-inspired wallpaper photo frames like Paperhill Studio's. Picture your wee one's most treasured photo in this cute wood frame designed with vintage wallpaper featuring a darling litte bunny- how adorable! My other favorites include the Beautiful Brown Damask Frame- again made with elegant brown damask vintage wallpaper and embellised with a brown & ivory striped ribbon & vintage button, and this cute Vintage Wallpaper Pocket Mirror in Sweet Floral- great as a travel mirror that can be easily tucked into your purse or makeup bag. All these and more, at Paperhill Studio on Etsy.
I also want to make a special mention that these fabulous Etsy designers have made our Mother's Day Giveaway Event possible through the generous prizes they're awarding to the mom winners. So please take a moment and browse through each of their shops and check out our Mother's Day Giveaway Event as well to win some of the products they offer- if you haven't yet.

Let's Get Cookin' with Lily On The Fly!
I recently started using my Lily On The Fly kit- a very innovative, easy-to-use meal planning solution that has helped me get back into cooking again! With two little kids at home, I needed a simple and quick system in planning ahead for my family meals, shopping for the items I need at the grocery store, and cooking our meals in a snap.. and Lily on the Fly was my answer!
So what's in the Lily on the Fly meal planning kit and how does it work?
When you buy your Hearty Meals for Hungry Families Starter Kit, you get a 7-slot magnetic card holder and pack of 36 meal planning cards. Just keep these meal cards in your purse or glove compartment so that you can just take them out easily at your next visit to the grocery store and buy the items listed on the back of the menu cards. These cards are color-coded to help you find the items you need at the store quicker. Just slide these cards into the magnetic card holder, then turn the holder over and you'll see a completely organized shopping list that's instantly created for you. Follow the color coding straight down, and you'll see an organized list of ingredients for your chosen recipes categorized in one of seven general grocery store areas. Once you're back home, just hang your magnetic card holder on the refrigerator and you have a convenient recipe guide right infront of you when you're ready to cook your meals!
