Etsy purchases: past, present, and future

Here are some of my very most favorite Etsy purchases:

PAST:

Love-love-love it! Its made with all kinds of recycled paper - from old books, maps, etc. And its the perfect size for throwing in your bag, so you can journal on the go! Miss Corey is currently taking a vacation, but I can't wait until she's back and her shop is stocked! You can be sure I'll purchase from her again! :)


I'm actually wearing this headband right now. Hehe. I love it because its made out of an old tie, and bits of lace and fabric scraps. So beautiful! Plus, Jody is a total sweetheart. :)


Amber ring by Birka Scandinavian
I actually ordered 2 rings - the amber one pictured above, and a teensy little labradorite one - that I wear stacked together just about every day. They're so beautiful, well-made, and very affordable! The turn-around time on these was super-fast, too! I'd love to have more Birka rings to stack....


PRESENT:
Vegan mineral foundation from Just Pure Minerals
I bought this today because I just ran out! Its super-light and doesn't clog my pores; plus its 100% vegan! Hooray!



Tsai-fi sticker
I can't wait to get this! Its just so darn cute!
**ETA - I got my sticker today....I loooove it!


FUTURE:


Recycled book journal by Overdue Industries
My current journal is almost full already, and I like that these are spiral-bound AND made of recycled books. I like the choose-your-own option, where you can browse their HUGE selection of vintage books and pick whichever one you want, and they make it to-order!


This print by MursBlanc
Someone I know, who has a birthday coming up, would love this!

What are some of your favorite Etsy purchases?
What are you thinking of buying next??

(How about a little coinpurse, or perhaps a pretty necklace?)
Hehe ; )
