While I was in the airport the other day on my way to visit family, I saw a girl wearing a knit hat that looked like a giraffe's head. Now, I have to admit, if I'd seen this hat in a store I would have thought "what were they thinking?" but looking at this girl wearing this silly hat, it just fit.
It looked fun and happy, silly and cheerful on her head. And when I commented "great hat", because it really did seem perfect for her, she brightened up with a lighter bounce to her step and a brighter smile on her face.
So, I've changed my mind about silly hats.
Cyndesplace on Etsy has a handful of cute and fun, silly and happy hats in their stock that would be perfect examples of the kind of hats I'm talking about too. Their shop has a variety of silly hats and practical purses, totes and bags. It's a place where whimsy and functional meet in handmade accessories.

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there..."
Yep! It's that time of year again.

When I was shopping for a new bedspread for my bed, I wish I'd known about today's Etsy shop. I have a feeling that I'd have been much, much happier with one of these beautiful handmade quilts that she has to offer than I am with what I ended up with.
You see, I love to sleep. It's my favorite time of the day, when I get to slide into bed under the weight of comfy blankets and burrow down into the soft warmth. Bed time is paradise.
And if you're like me or know someone else who is, when you take a browse through EveryStitch's shop, you're sure to be just as drawn as I am or find the perfect gift for that someone you've been shopping for.
Even without the need for a new bedspread, I'm still tempted!
This shop is filled with a variety of quilts, all made of 100% cotton fabrics, cotton batting and lots of love. They're created in a smoke-free, pet-free environment and each and every one is even carefully laundered once it's completed.
