We've noted before that we like stuff with stories, and what better shopping forum for me to troll than what is, in essence, the world's best online flea market?
To wit, my most recent home-related Etsy purchases (there's an even longer list of handmade purses, jewelry and other accessories, but we'll save that for another blog). First up, the organizer I made Rich install in the kitchen -- I got so tired of him just throwing the keys around, stuffing mail where it didn't belong ... and now each has a house. Together. Grab and go!

I grabbed this photo from Etsy because, as it turns out, the Salman Rushie book actually graces the bookshelves I bought to house it and its literary friends.

Fittingly, this mobile went into the spare bedroom. You'd think I'd be more upset about tearing up books to use as decor, but I'll survive. It adds lightness to the room, a fresh and airy touch.

This purchase ... is so not me. Which is why I bought it. It's fun, a little quirky, very cottage-chic. At first, I couldn't convince myself to buy it, but after six months, I was still thinking about it, and knew it belonged in our house. It really adds charm to the dining room.
Rooster lamp, Delightful Finds
My most recent purchase has yet to arrive, but my plan is to use these sconces to brighten up yet another corner of the dining room that doesn't get much light or attention. I think they'll add more cohesiveness to the house, too.
