An Etsy Addict




I can't help myself.  If I am lucky enough to have five spare minutes without the kids needing my attention, I will race to the computer and check out the latest listings on this fantastic site. These are just a few of my favourite purchases:


These two vintage prints were only $5 for the pair! They are currently away at the framers. The detail is amazing and I can't wait to see them hung on the wall...if I can find space.


This necklace was an early Birthday present for me, from my Father. BUT I picked it out and ordered it and paid for it. Thanks Dad! I had my daughter's names stamped on the back.  It is by West Byron @ Etsy and is called the Park Avenue Mama Pendant.





Below is a shirt by Replicca, a Canadian company, which is the main reason I bought it.  Once it arrived, I was amazed at the excellent craftsmanship of this top.  Well worth the price. Now I just need to get the same body as the model and I am all set!

This was a Christmas present that I ordered, but it came too late and now I am resisting the urge to just keep it for myself. This is from the Beau and Stella Etsy shop.

My favourite place to be besides home,

Their Scottish Seafood Selection
Below is the entrance, the photo is a little fuzzy, but you get the general idea.

One of my favourite places in the entire world is The Witchery By The Castle, in Edinburgh.  The food is incredible and the ambiance is even better.  Here are some photos to give you an idea, but check out their website to get a better idea of their rooms that you can let for the night.
