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!

I adore this cup by one of my favorite Etsy artists, Catherine Reece. This praying mantis cup will add a little fortune to your mocha in the morning for $28.00.

Milk in the Morn

I love these bottles by Alyssa Ettinger - so pristine and cool. She offers a variety of bottles. This particular one goes for $30.

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?

Saturday is for Sewing

And if I had time to do more sewing, this is totally where I'd keep my pins and needles. Made by sewsewsuckurtoe for $25.00, this awesome skull is so fantastic!

Singing for your Saturday Supper

I'd definitely subject the world to my abhorrent singing if I could have this plate with supper (for keeps of course). It's made by Ninainvorm on Etsy and runs for $28.00 - called the Peacock love plate and I do love it! Check it out!

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.

Etsy Noodle Decorations

Oh no, I've found a new obsession on Etsy. I've seen them before, but I've always dreamed of dressing like this daily, not just for Halloween. However, since I'm a SAHM, the mail delivery companies may flag me as a psycho and stop delivering packages after seeing me dress like this. So for now (and until those lotto numbers come through), I'll just drool over all these awesome artistic hair accessories and hats. Take a gander:
