Dog in a Sweater

Posted on July 20, 2012 by abbeychristine

You probably already know I have a soft spot for dogs in sweaters. It’s my weakness. Hence my love for this print from Martyna Zoltaszek.

Favorite Colors Hat

Posted on January 30, 2012 by abbeychristine

I came upon this cute-as-a-button knit hat on Etsy the other– turquoise and mustard are so my favorite colors these days.

Too bad I already own a hat AND an ear-warmer headband, or I would definitely have to bring this guy home. Though if you feel the need to get one for yourself, I’ll try not be too jealous. You can do so here.

How sweet is this wall hanging from Oktak? I am loving the blue apples.

Continuing one of my favorite themes, “animals doing people things,” here comes Astro Cat:

Astronaut Cat tote available here (along with a bunch of other cute and cheeky things from LuciusArt that I will probably also be blogging about before long.)

Etsy Thing for Today: Bowls in Bowls in Bowls

Posted on May 22, 2011 by abbeychristine

If there’s anything better than a stack of lovely bowls to choose from when you open the cabinet door, it might just be this print from Mrs. Eliot Books. So darn pretty!

Etsy Thing for Today: Triangle Print

Posted on May 21, 2011 by abbeychristine

I have a big ol’ crush on this Process Color Triangle print from Design des Troy. And now you do, too, dontcha?

Etsy Thing for Today: Paintchips for Dinner

Color wonders! These paintchip placemats from Avril Loreti make me swoon.

Alice Meets the Caterpillar print from original paper sculpture by Paper Noodle.

Etsy Thing for Today: Nerdy Plush

Posted on April 9, 2011 by abbeychristine

I love this nerdy awesome little dude from Cat Rabbit Plush– and not just because he’s dressed in glasses, scarf, mustard colored cardigan and stripes, which is what I wear basically every day. No, I like this guy for being just who he is– nerdily awesome. (Kinda like me : )

Etsy Thing for Today: Collection a Day Notecards

Posted on March 19, 2011 by abbeychristine

In case you haven’t heard about Lisa Congdon’s Collection a Day project (which is now also a book), you can learn more about it here. Her collections of wonderful vintage objects make me simultaneously jealous of all the cool stuff she owns, and happy that I don’t have to find a place to store it. The photos themselves are undeniably great, though, which is why this set of Collection a Day notecards is so much fun.
