A tiny Etsy find
After seeing several photos of the world's cutest little pins, I was elated when La Vie en Rosie uncovered the genius responsible. Gigi from Pinks and Needles has one of the sweetest stores on Etsy that I've come across.
I placed a little order to see her handiwork in person and look what arrived:
Of course I didn't want these little beauties to disappear in my sewing box, so I needed a new pin cushion to go along with them. A quick search later and I set to work on using up some of the little scraps accumulating in my studio.
One thing lead to another and the pin cushions started multiplying.
I guess I'm just going to have to add something sweet and tiny to my ever growing giveaway pile. . .
Speaking of which, still not too late to enter my "Name my serger" contest! Leave your entries here.

Gepetto's new look
Yesterday I was all about the big fancy store, today I'm looking at independent toy creators on Etsy for special items to add to our collection.
We have a new found obsession with building towers in the living room, so blocks were first on my list. How adorable are the following sets? How will I ever choose?!
My peanut has an extreme fondness for all things animal. I loved finding these fantastical ocean creatures in wooden form from You're Inspired:
These eye-popping beauties from Lissa would be sure to create magical towers for future fairy princesses to live within:
On a simpler scale, these adorable alphabet blocks would make such a cute toy or a room decoration if I had gone with the primary color scheme I originally had in mind. Lilly & Lou are even offering them for a discount right now, might want to jump on them before I do:
But at the end of the day, I think I'm probably going to have to keep it simple with a natural classic set like the one from Four Corners Toys. You just really can't go wrong with the all natural look and I love that it keeps things open for imagination:
I'm still hunting for just the right doll stroller (we destroyed our first one with love) and a puzzle set. I would love to hear where you're finding great toy options lately, let me know in the comments!
