Tuesday Treasures

Hello!

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm fighting off the beginnings of a cold right now. I'm so worried about losing my voice. Due to staffing issues, I'm going to be working alone a bit more, and a voiceless secretary is pretty useless. "Ring Ring:" ----------. Hello? Hello?" Yup, I can imagine it right now.

I'm snuggling up on the couch right now in my tidy, well organized home, with my new zigzag afghan blanket (that my mum crocheted me --pictures soon), and thinking about making some Lipton soup. I've been pretty lucky so far this year, it seems like everyone in my office has been sneezing or coughing... so I'm not going to complain. I'm just happy there is a Booster Juice near where I work..... the best thing for a sore throat. (Though at 500 odd calories, more of a meal than a snack! Haha)

Anyways. Here's this week's Tuesday Treasures. The theme is squid. I don't know why. Well, I do. I found those amazing earrings on Etsy... and that was the jumping off point. I dissected a squid in biology class in high school.... I think these plushies are much cuter! 

He looks rather cuddly. Would be great for a nursery or kids room with a sea-side theme.

This is just too cute for words.

This pattern is amazing.. and the gorgeous colour combinations don't hurt either.

I'm always a fan of a nerdy t-shirt

How lovely is this ring?

These intricately carved necklaces are just stunning.

The beautiful squid earrings that started it all! I heart!

Have a great week everyone!

Tuesday Treasures

I spent yesterday cleaning and organizing our office at work. It was a great experience (besides losing a day off) because it felt so good to purge useless stuff, find useful things that were hiding, and get things that we use often into better places. I feel much more ready to take on the next week with a clean office, papers put properly away and files filed into their new homes. (I'm not so excited to try and figure out billing errors--- I could never be an accountant (waah!)

I've spent the last week reorganizing my home, and I'm almost finished. As I've been reorganizing, I've come across some my favourite vintages/thrift store/inherited/ Etsy finds. I'll be photographing them and sharing them with you in the next couple weeks. (as long as I have enough sunlight... this apartment is quite dark in the winter.) It's fun to remove all the clutter and enjoy your favourite and dearest things. 

This week's Tuesday Treasures is all vintage finds from Etsy.

Enjoy!

Love the shape and colours of these beautiful bowls

Such a fun print.. I love retro signs

While I'm definitely a dog person, these Siamese kitties are pretty sweet!

I wish this 1957 kids sweater came in my size! Isn't it lovely?

Hello! This is the first Tuesday Treasures of 2013! This week's theme is foxes! They always make foxes sly in fairy tales, but I think they are absolutely sweet. Maybe it's because my parent's dog Felix looks a little like one...with his copper face and a pointy nose! I also love forest creatures as a theme for a child's room. Owls, foxes, rabbits, deer etc...there's something comforting about a dense forest, a warm den, and meadow full of wild flowers. Here's this week's Tuesday Treasures!..
