Etsy Wednesday: Dare to be blue

Posted in etsy favorites wednesday, etsy treasury on August 11th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

Blue isn’t always sad! Yesterday I got my nails done and learned that neon colors are hot hot hot. This treasury is for my manicurist who sent me home with neon blue.

Etsy favorite Wed: Back to basics

Posted in etsy favorites wednesday, etsy treasury on July 14th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

Our mission at the toy store last weekend was to pick up a set of Legos for the Little Peanut. While browsing the aisles we came upon a Thomas & Friends train table and had a hard time prying her away from it. She really enjoyed pushing the trains around the track, going up and down the hills and making the bridge move. So in the end we abandoned the Legos and went with a train set.

She just adores it and wants to play with it first thing in the morning. I really like that its wooden and built to last. Inspired by the quality of our new toy (I say our because sometimes I think we enjoy it more then she does! We’re already thinking about buying more tracks to expand…) I found these amazing items on Etsy.

Etsy favorite Wednesday: All-England Club

Posted in childhood memories, etsy favorites wednesday, etsy treasury on June 30th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

Tennis brings back a lot of great memories for me. It was a real bonding sport for my family. I still remember going out to the courts as a kid watching my mom and dad play with their wooden rackets. It wasn’t until middle school that my dad put a racket in my (and my sisters) hands. Thinking about it now I bet it was because we were bored out of our skulls over summer break and he wanted to give us something to do!

That summer and every summer after that for the next 5-6 years we played. He rounded up friends and friends of friends and we played until the sun went down and we couldn’t see anymore. We also gathered around the TV during the big 4 tournaments and watched Sampras, Agassi, Courier, Seles and Graph duke it out for the championship.

As the Wimbledon finals approach this weekend I was inspired by the green grass and white attire, but this week instead of choosing my favorites I took the plunge and made my very own treasury. I hope you enjoy!
