Save Money On Etsy Packing Supplies...(Thanks Mom For the Idea...)

Hi!  I was chatting with my mom a while back about ways to package my Etsy items without spending too much, while still keeping it cute.  She came up with the idea to use paper lunch bags and make them pretty.  You can get about 100 bags for $1 in most places, which costs much less per unit compared to organza bags or boxes. 

All you need besides the paper bags is a pair of pinking shears and a sticker.   The first thing step is to figure out how big you want your bag and cut at that point, fold over and seal with a sticker.  How easy is that?  Paper lunch bags also take well to rubber stamps :)  Hope you all enjoy!

I really do have the best Mom ever :)

Diane von Furstenberg Takes Her Wrap Dress To The Gap

Bright colors and bold prints always make me smile as do kids, wrap it together (literally) and I'm ear to ear for Diana von Furstenberg's new line for Gap Kids.  As soon as this line hits the shelf, I expect to make my way over to the mall and find a way yet another way to spoil my 3 darling nieces.  Some of my favorite picks are below but before that are some sketches the store released previewing the shoe line as well.  If anyone knows what a women's shoe size 6 (US) converts to in girls sizes, email me <3

Cute Makeup Bags by Since Sass

Hello all!  I did much of my Holiday shopping last season on Etsy and this was one shop that I was very impressed with.  Since Sass makes "handmade accessories & gifts like totes, pouches, and wine bags with a little sass." I gave my momma one of their pouches and I admit it was hard to not to keep it myself.  If you love retro vinyl and vintage oilcloth: Since Sass might be for you. :)
