With all the excitement around Amazon Prime day, it's easy to get caught up in the hype — and trust me, we have our cart filled with a few staples we're ready to pull the trigger on when the sales launch later today. That said, I wanted to shift gears and share a handful of finds that are currently catching my eye on Etsy in support of special, and those small businesses that aren't slowing down their creativity, hustle or grind... in celebration of all the things that can't be mass produced and while still a good value, their worth isn't driven by price.

Etsy Edit: Garden Vibes

The start of March is, without fail, the time of year we begin pining over garden plans. The weather begins to get a touch milder and we both itch to be outside — hands in the dirt. We look for signs of new life in our perennials and are dreaming up plans for the vegetable garden. While it'll be a few weeks before we can officially get started, this month's Etsy edit is dedicated to the spirit of all things lush, green and gardeny (that's a word, right?).

Etsy Edit: Storage + Organization

With each new year comes a renewed desire to clean up, clear out and organize — once and for all! While deep down the truth of the matter is there's never a once and for all, this time of year is always a solid starting ground for the best of intentions. I don't know about you, but I'm always more motivated to stay organized when I have beautiful systems in place that meet both form and function. I love storage solutions that fit seamlessly into the look and feel of a space, that can lend just as much to the decor as the job it's meant to do.

Fringe Basket | Coiled Rope Baskets

So! In the spirit of wrangling ALL the clutter, I've rounded up a collection of beautiful storage solutions that are both hardworking and filled charm. You can find every last one on Etsy, made from independent designers in rich natural materials like fiber, wood, metal and leather.

Nov-Etsy: Our Monthly Etsy Edit | Sales Edition!

Today we've been curled up with stretchy pants on, recovering from yesterday's festivities and getting an early start on our holiday shopping — a pretty nice way to spend my big 35 if I don't say so myself (that and birthday cake).

Partaking in the excitement of post-Thanksgiving weekend sales is an annual tradition in our household and this year it's been all about avoiding the crowds and shopping small. Today we've rounded up a series of festive finds from shops participating in Etsy's cyber week event and are sharing the details on a special sale we're running in the jewelry shop now through December 1st.

Nov-Etsy: Our Monthly Etsy Edit

I have said it many times before and celebrate the chance to say it again — I am a November's girl. Winter seems inevitably close, we welcome home longtime friends, linger a bit longer with family over the extended weekends, and the Sagittarian traits in my blood prove just a bit stronger this time of year (hello hopeless optimism, wanderlust daydreams, honest to a fault & promising more than I can deliver).

By day, you'll find me in our front office behind the computer screen gladly exploring the depths of the Etsy marketplace and in the spirit of sharing, every so often it's fun to round up a few of our personal favorites — here's what we're digging this November!
