FANTABULOUS Five for Friday

T.G.I.F!

Since Fridays are my favorite day of the week, I thought I would share a few of my favorite things. Each week, I would like to share with you these "FANTABULOUS" items in hopes that you share some of your favorites with me but also get you introduced to some products or services that you may not have known about otherwise.

Today is all about my favorite Etsy shops so far... I am sure I will have many more and will share them with you as I find them!

 Have a HAPPY Friday!
  • GeeZees Canvas and Prints
    • A local shop who creates beautiful canvas art. Stephanie, the shop owner was wonderful to work with and very prompt in her delivery even with having such a short deadline. I had purchased a canvas that had a picture of my parent's engagement photo with the lyrics to the song they used for their 1st dance (similar to 1st picture below). The piece was just amazing. I was shocked at how beautiful it was because the picture I gave her was a 31 year old photo that wasn't of great quality and it was scanned in. These pieces would make for a great gift (think wedding, birth, anniversary, etc.) or even for decor for your own living space.






  • Morgan Lane Boutique
    • There is nothing more to say other than the hair accessories that she makes are just too darn cute! The shop owner took her love for big stylish headpieces for children that even her daughter  wears and decided to start her own shop making them. Her choice in fabrics and colors are eye catching and still provide a bit of uniqueness in the world of big hair accessories. Also, her blog is a great one to follow as well. 





  • miaMallows
    • Homemade gourmet marshmallows? Um... Yes, please! These little squares of goodness apparently are worth every penny! Unfortunately, I did have not had the pleasure of eating these yet but when I bought them for my dessert table at my wedding, they were GONE! We had some pretty happy guests. I think the best part of these marshmallows is the variety of flavors. We're talking 35 flavors folks! These pics make my mouth water!




  • Keep Calm Shop
    • Just the name of the shop can change your mood... OK, well maybe not BUT I would love to say a few of these phrases to people sometime except for my words may not be so nice :) ! These vintage inspired prints and posters are a cool way to "spice" up your decor and even would make for cool gifts. I know at some point I will be purchasing a few for my daughter's 1st birthday party. It will help to decorate a few spots that need a little help!




  • TomKat Studio
    • A one-stop-shop for all your party printables! Geared more towards birthday parties, this is a great shop to get some professional looking designs for your DIY party. Need some favor tags, fancy labels, or a birthday banner, then this is the place for you! For your convenience, they also provided full packages for particular themes. I have seen work from similar shops but by far these are my favorite! Again, I haven't purchased anything yet but I will be using them in the very near future. You will see that clearly they are a favorite amongst other Etsy-ians too with their 100% rating. It's worth checking them out!




What are some of your favorite Etsy shops? Please share!
