I’m pleased to present some new additions to my UmbrellaAve. Etsy shoppe : Fabric gift tags. They’re made from layers of coordinating fabrics and a middle layer of wool felt to give it thickness. They have neat fraying edges and stamped “To & From” sections on the backs. I’ve handwritten “A gift for you” on each of them. Check these out in my Etsy shoppe! They make the perfect addition to any gift. And……….they’re “green”, too!

Why did these turn out sideways? Who knows?! My computer has been doing weird things to me lately.

Such pretty, organic, flowing designs! I would love a piece from this seller someday. 😀

This dress is made of raw silk………….how gorgeous is that?!
Just look at all of those pintucks and ruffles = happiness. 🙂

Now this is a dreamy, creamy skirt.

Today I felt like sharing the beautiful photography & photo editing skills of Flickr artist, .bella. I can’t seem to figure out how to post them here, but you can just click on the links below for my favorites. Enjoy!

Outtake — Although why it’s an outtake, I don’t know…….it’s gorgeous!

Colour Me Happy — Just fantastic use of black and white + color……..and I love autumn. 🙂

Do You Believe In Magic? — Very cool editing work, not to mention a beautiful girl.

Traffic In The Sky — So relaxing and just crunchy cozy.

Friendship — My favorite. Just look at those amazing clouds! They can’t all be real?

Unnamed — I just like everything about this shot. Very romantic.

For your viewing pleasure, a couple of fun treasuries that I found on Etsy. The first one includes one of my felt umbrellas! This is my first time being included in anyone’s directory/blog and I’m so excited about it!

Leah Sutton’s Treasury –Take a peek at my umbrella, please
Tresijas’s Treasury –Fun circus theme with red an blue colors. This one is so crunchy and inspirational……..at least to me.
While browsing the treasuries, I also found this cute shoppe: Pizpireta
I like the old-fashioned, yet unique and quirky designs. 🙂


Here are a couple of darling little umbrellas that I found on Modcloth. And you all know my weakness for umbrellas……………..*wink*

This is one of my favorites, even though I’m not usually a big fan of the nautical style.


This one would be easy enough to make……….

I have a thing for pencil dresses right now. *sigh*


Old fashioned, dressy-dress that reminds me of my Grandma. I like it. 🙂

Perfection. There’s nothing else to say.

Here are some new (and very darling) shoes from HydraHeart on Etsy. I just love these designs, colors and linings. The green ones below are my favorites.
🙂 I mean, how cute are they, with their textured outer fabric and adorable cotton lining? Hydra Heart even offers heavy-duty soles and memory foam insoles for their shoes now. How neat is that? I think I really need a pair of these once I make some more money. *sigh*
