Personalization anyone?

I often ask myself what life was like before (insert lovable item here)... For instance, what was life like before cell phones? the internet? or more importantly, the google?

Lately, more and more, I have been wondering - what was life like before etsy? It is hard to remember exactly, but I remember it being dark... and there was a lot of sadness. Yes, dark sadness.

Personally, I love etsy for the simple reason that it gives loads of normal people an awesome chance to sell their completely original pieces. Before etsy it would have taken a really motivated person to find as many adorable handmade pieces in one hour as I can on etsy. But then again, I am no normal internet shopper.

My latest brilliant find is SilhouetteBlue's shop. I am not sure that everyone shares in my love of having things personalized or monogramed, but I think that even if it is not your personal style you would still appreciate this lovely shop.



This print is definitely a favorite of mine... Since we are currently renting an apartment and do not have trees of our own, I just love the idea of buying our very own tree and having our initials carved in it. I also love the other personalized cards and already have some occasions in mind when some personalized cards would be the perfect gift! I can't wait!
