Etsy Picks-Sun Shiny Day

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
Spring-time in the Pacific Northwest is more often than not a dismal affair. Heavy, overcast skies seem to bear down on you every day, cold, wind driven rain cuts straight through all those layers of sweaters your wearing. Aside from the longer sunlight hours is almost indiscernible from winter. I don't know about you, but I sure could use some bright, sunshiny yellow to brighten this cloudy spring day.

Etsy Picks-Caffeine Nation

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, March 24, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
My morning doesn't start until I've had that first cup of rich, black coffee fresh from my french press. Its a true love affair between me and the roasted bean. Once upon a time, I even use to work for a specialty coffee roaster. Getting to sip and sample exotic coffees from around the world every day was truly bliss. As I sit here drinking my morning cup of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, I suddenly feel nostalgic for those days which led me on a quest to find the best coffee related products on Etsy...

Etsy Picks-Spring Fashion

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, March 17, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
The Spring Equinox is next week, meaning longer days, warmer weather, and the liberation of all those adorable short sleeve shirt, skirts and dresses from the forgotten corners of our closets. This spring season, expect to see a lot of soft, muted earth tones paired with bright pastels like yellow, pink in every shade, and bold turquoise, Pantone's color of the year. Styles will be very glamorous and girlie, focusing on light textured fabrics, ruffles, long chandelier earrings, and big, bold ...

Etsy Picks-En Vino Veritas

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, March 10, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
For me, spring marks the beginning of wine tasting season. I frequently make weekend trips into Oregon's key wine region, the Willamette Valley. I love to see the landscape change from season to season-the lush green of new spring growth, the plump grapes of summer, and the fiery reds and golds of the grape leaves after the fall harvest. Any wine lover would adore any of this week's picks.

Etsy Picks-March Birthdays

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, March 3, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
March is upon us, and today is my March birthday, so this week's picks are focusing on March birthdays, filled with lovely aquamarine, daffodils, fish and the astrological sign Pisces. The calming blues and greens paired with the vibrant yellow flowers is so reminiscent of spring's approach with rain and early blooming flowers.

Etsy Picks-Springtime Birds

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, February 17, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
For many long, dark months now I have woken up to the sound of silence. I long for the days of rising to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. Luckily, spring is just around the corner to bring all the birds back up north. Here are a few of my favorite bird-themed items to hold us all over until our feathered friends return.

Posted by Lisa Rezendez on Wednesday, February 10, 2010, In : Etsy Picks 
I've always been a fan of Mardi Gras. Not so much for the drunken revelry or the bead collecting, but for the costumes. For me, Mardi Gras is a way to fill my need to dress up so I'm not going through withdrawals by the time Halloween rolls around in the fall. Here are a few items that will help you accessorize both yourself and your home for a festive Mardi Gras party.

If your like me, you try to do as much of it as you can yourself to save on cash.
