So Sleepy.....

I really don't have anything very constructive to share with bloggerdom today, I'm totally NOT ready to face the world. What I really want to do is curl back up in my blanket and go back to sleep until my kids come home from school. Alas, I just made a coffee date, so I guess waking up is inevitable. I could resist Starbucks no longer. Oh, and then there's that list of 100 things I need to get done before my hubby comes home tomorrow and the craft show this weekend! Anyway, I will plan on making a day for just sleeping in soon, so I surfed around Etsy until I found the most perfect sleepy time items to share with you all.

This skully sleep mask (shown above) by BibBon would definitely do the trick for keeping that pesky daylight out of my sleepy time. The print is so perfect for me, and I love it!

I can just imagine how this minky blanket by antoinettes would feel to snuggle up in for hours. I'm sure I'd have to fight my dog for real estate under this cozy blanket!

My dear friend DancingMooney makes the most fabulous soap! This lavender olive oil soap is sure to relax you before bedtime so you slumber like a newborn child.

I just love this limited edition ACEO by scarlettcat, entitled "Sleeping With the Fishes". Talk about a sweet twist!

This fine art print by lisajulia says it all. How uncanny is it that dogs can sleep just about anywhere? Doesn't that guy know he's gonna get stepped on?

Every critter (even the doggie above) needs one of these fishy beds by laurelszoo. My only lament to this darling little bed is just that..it's too little! My 55 pound lab would like one of these (I'm almost certain of it), and even if she wouldn't, it would still be a cute addition to any room! Oh to have a small dog that had a bed of her own and didn't steal 3/4 of mine!

So with that, I leave you for the day. Be sure to get your entries in for the Great Hillbilly Giveaway, you still have a few hours!! Tomorrow will be the start of the weekend, so look for the postings for the winner of the contest. On Monday, look for something great and fabulous coming your way here in the land of confusion!

Fit For A Princess

For years I dreamed that I would give birth to a girlie girl so I could dress her in the shade of pepto bismol pink that only girlie girls can dress in. Sadly, I feel I was robbed. Don't get me wrong, I have three beautiful and healthy children, only they're two pirates and a tomboy, nary a girly girl in sight. There were moments (when they were babies) that I even considered dressing one of the boys up in the pink froo froo dresses of my dreams. I mean, lets face it, the clothes out there for girls ARE always cuter right? All the little old ladies at the supermarket would always say to me "What a beautiful girl you have there!" It' s probably better that I didn't get my froo froo girl, she'd hate me by the age of 4, instead of waiting until her teen years. ("But no Bella, you must wear the pink rhinestone encrusted shirt and the matching tutu and hairbow and shoes also!") Anyway, I digress. I surfed Etsy this morning and found tons of princess goodness for every age bracket. It was very hard to choose, I like it all. Maybe I should start dressing myself that way instead! (JOKE! But ok, maybe not....)

This adorable baby by RachaelElla is....oh wait, did I say baby? I mean Personalized Princess Onesie! Freudian slip? Anyway, this would surely be wonderful attire on all those royal babies out there!

To decorate the nursery, I chose this fine art print from drawandquartered. Definitely a motto that every little princess should live by!

Ok, I have to admit this, I secretly want these jewel shaped crayons by MyKangaroo for myself. If forced to, I would probably share with my princess. I mean, how FUN!!!

For that little princess that doesn't like to wash, or even the one that likes to spend hours soaking in the bath, this fabulous strawberry scented goat milk soap by ShineYourHineySoap will surely do the trick.

What princess is complete without her magic wand from PurpleBusStudio?? Not only does this wand look awesome, it MAKES BUBBLES!!! Fabulous! I need one of those for myself too!

Every princess needs her tiara! I love this Woodland Fairy Princess Crown by StudioPink. And those cheeks, I love those too! Adorable!

For the tween and teen princesses on your list, this royal pendant necklace by MyLittleChickadees is sure to be a hit.

For the punk rock tween or teen princess in your life, this ribbon tote bag by justusgirlz is sure to set it off! This would also make that adult princess in your life very happy!

Speaking from personal knowledge, any BIG princess would love this sterling silver crown ring by chrisparry. Actually, I don't think you can go wrong with anything in his shop. Marvelous work!

For the hearth and home, StudioRegency has an assortment of pretty baubles just in time for the holidays. After all, your tree should be fit for a princess too, right?


After a long, hard day of tea parties and chasing little princesses, any big princess worth her salt (bath salts that is) would love to bathe and relax with this Celtic Dreams pamper kit by EnchantingBeautiful.
