West Elm + Etsy Find

This past weekend, I stopped by our local West Elm store for the West Elm + Etsy event. Chicago-based Etsy shop owners set up mini-shops inside the West Elm to show their wares, while yummy treats, drinks and a DJ were on hand. I picked up this fun Chicago pillow from the Etsy shop Red Bird Vintage Home, and I love the way it looks on our couch:

Currently Loving... Ampersand Design Studio Prints

I'm head over heels for these neon pink and yellow ampersand prints by Ampersand Design Studio. The contrast that the screen printed characters have on the natural chipboard stock is SO lovely. I can't decide which color I like best!

If neon isn't your thing, the prints are also available in gold and silver, and are just as lovely! Be sure to check out the rest of the goodies in their Etsy shop!

Gotcha!

Most pups aren’t fond of furry little squirrels – they bark at them, chase them, growl at them, etc. Our dog, Bean (a three year old Boston Terrier), absolutely despises squirrels. There are so many of them that run around outside of our townhome and run across the deck that Bean’s sleeping spot looks out on to. She gets frantic when one approaches, and it’s really quite cute to watch. It's almost as if the squirrels are taunting her. When I saw these adorable squirrel-themed dog collars on Etsy by Silly Buddy, I thought it would be pretty funny to put one on Bean. It would be as if the squirrels are saying, “gotcha!”

Currently Loving... U & Me Pillow

This darling pillow immediately caught my eye when I spotted it on Etsy’s homepage. What a sweet Valentine’s Day or anniversary or “just because I love you” gift!
