Bree's gloves

Anyone watch Desperate Housewives? If you don't, I think you should - it's hilarious and cute. Anyway, I found something on Etsy that Bree would die for - she could clean in absolute style. These cute gloves are made by Julie Meyer which she offers for $12.50. You'll actually look forward to cleaning wearing these cuties!

It's ok, I'm a doctor

It's ok, I'm a doctor. Well, not really, but that's what I'd feel like saying while carrying this fabulous bag! Made by bonspielcreation on Etsy for $145.00, this wool felt bag is unlike any other, plus it has a happenin' skeleton on it. What more could you want, right?

Starbucks for your Dog

Your dog sits at home jealous while he hears about your awesome fraps and lattes you and your friends are enjoying while chatting it up at Starbucks. Well, now he can torture you while you turn green from envy at his new "Starbarks" house. Check it out, yappyhappy on Etsy offers this totally buzzed doggy house for $300. That's only like 75 cups of Starbucks coffee.

Monday is for Moonshine... and whales

I don't know why, but I feel like moonshine, either from the moon or from the bottle and one of these awesome whale stuffies! KateDurkin offers these cuties (and many other super sweet finds) in her Etsy shop. This puffy mammal is a very affordable at a mere $18 and would look so awesome in an underwater themed room (like my sons' surfer room)!

V-Day cards

I found this excellent Etsy shop (Bodecia) with THE CUTEST cards! I had to buy some for my sons. Here's the most genius one (in my humble opinion) - it is perfect for my youngest whom we call "El Destructo" as he runs around everywhere throwing things on the floor and laughing a hearty evil laugh...
