I made it!

Midterms are over, thank goodness. My Music History went maybe a little better than expected, but since I had very low expectations to start with...hey, at least it's done. And now I just have to get through 1 more class and 2 days of work before I go to Ann Arbor to see the fam! This also means I get to continue working my way through LOST, since I had to take a break over the last couple weeks. I've just started Season 3.
I also get to browse Etsy again, yay! I've discovered I have to have a definite theme to look for, otherwise I just don't know where to start. Today it's elephants...Mommy dearest loves them, so this one's for her...

this one's a cutie, definitely more my mom's style-simplicity at its finest

I want this guy for myself! So whimisical, yet sophisticated.

Y'all know I love lockets. And the swallow in the chain is perfect.

Jewelry isn't the only option...Mom and I share a love of stationary.

These might be for kids but I would totally use them.

Adorable and not as girly. Sometimes you just gotta give up pink. Crazy, I know.

Here's a big kid card! Sometimes I like to pretend I'm an adult, and this would be perfect for that grown-up correspondence.

Oh Etsy, how you tempt me.

Oh! And now that midterms are over, maybe I'll have time to read a book or two and even review it. Maybe? I hope so!

Hoot hoot!

Lately I have been loving this retro owl trend. I think I first started noticing it last year, but it's really taken off recently...
At Papyrus, we have a ton of cute stationary...

The Owl and Quail

the Sweet Owl

And so many Etsy sellers have absolutely adorable items, especially the jewelry...I've been wanting a large owl pendant for quite some time, and I may have to treat myself just a little bit since I've finally been paid... :)

a little simpler, but still super cute necklace by wattlebird

I also have a deep and abiding love for lockets (by CosmicGirl)

Would it be weird to own more than one owl necklace? Because all of these are just too-hoo cute!
