The Awakened Leaf

I like the idea of wearing little things the kids would like but also that would match my style. I found these sweet little fox earrings on etsy from The Awakened Leaf and wear them every other day. They're comfortable and cute to look at. I like when people are staring at my ears and realize they're foxes!

I decided to get a couple other pairs and opted for some elephants (my grandmother loved elephants!) and some simple hexagon studs.





I also love these mountains! Perfect if you're a mountain lover.

friday finds {pulp and paisley}

It's so funny how one link brings you to another and then another and then... well you get the pic. I found myself on flickr the other night and somehow found pulp and paisley and even cooler is that this lil shop is from Belleville, which is about 1.5 hrs from Toronto.


I just love this stuff -- the colours are vibrant, and the styles are unique.


Visit the shop here and have a great weekend!

toronto treats: letitiah

Over the holidays I wanted to not only focus on giving gifts that were handmade, I wanted to also focus on giving gifts that were handmade by local artists found here in Toronto. I didn't really do that too much but over the next year I really want to focus on this for my gift giving and things I purchase for myself. Here's one of the (many) artists on etsy I've been crushing on for a bit:

letitiah
le cristal et noir necklace


elle a des taches de rousseur earrings (love these!)

So pretty! Read more about letitiah here

etsy

I've been obsessed with window shopping at etsy for some time now - I just love all of the items people have on there to sell and I love that it's all made by independant artists. Today I was searching around and found the cutest earrings! I was due for some new ones so I bought these from sulu-design. Can't wait to get them!
