Stuff I like - Etsy!!!!!!

I have some new posts coming soon about Dolly and I and our situation. I have been having a tough time with her, but I think I have figured some things out. The posts will have to wait a few days, so I can explain all that is floating around in my head.

In the mean time, I thought I would share some of my favourite horsey items from Etsy. There are so many great handmade items there that it is very fun to "window" shop and daydream about all of the things I might order if I had some extra cash...

First off is our very own RanchGirl!  She makes beautiful western themed jewellry:

Beautiful necklaces from A Gift Horse:

A fused glass pendant, maybe?  From Cynthia Valenzo:

Or, how about a non-traditional set of saddle/bridle tags? I think I might cave and order a set of these for myself for Christmas...

I don't have alot of horse-themed decor in my house, but I found two things on Etsy that I am hoping to get someday - a neat pillow and a cool piece of art for the wall:

And this is just a very small sampling of the literally thousands of items that pop up when you type 'horse' into the search bar.

You can find almost anything you can think of:
  • journals
  • photos
  • custom artwork of your horse
  • housewares
  • art
  • kids toys
  • vintage pieces
  • key racks
And the list goes on and on and on!  In fact, I'm going to wrap up this post and keep searching!

I can't wait to hear about you and Dolly. Hopefully some positive things on the horizon.

Cool stuff at Etsy - I will have to take a closer look and might get myself in trouble!

Can you help me make banners? It's been a ridiculously long time since I said I was going to re-vamp my blog and I've done nothing. I started thinking about it again revently so...I promise I will be a quick study. I'd just like some basics like what program, setting size/dimensions etc. Maybe a "coffee" break??

Lots of pretty stuff for sure. But I tend to stay away from window-shopping because without the funds it just leads to frustration and disappointment.

I look forward to reading the news/updates about you and Dolly, though.
