Fav Finds of 2013

I have become an Etsy.com freak since I started my shop a little over a year ago.  You can find my shop on my blog or go to  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheAfterPicture?ref=si_shop .  I focus on vintage items, burlap frames, and personalized mugs. While working to build my shop, I came across some AWESOME pieces from other Etsy shops that I would love to share with you! So, here it is!  My list of favorite handmade items that I purchased in 2013 from Etsy.com!

Chevron Infinity Scarf - Mint, Black, Yellow, Coral Red

from SageKandCo

I ordered the black and white one!  This is my go to scarf to wear with dresses or jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt!  I'm thinking now that I should just go ahead and order the other colors!

white cloud teaspoon rest - 4 3/4 inches

from JDWolfePottery

I do the coffee thing more than tea, but this makes an awesome spoon rest for when I stir my coffee.  I just love the look it has!

Goats Milk Soap - Tupelo Honey - Olive Oil Bar Soap - Cold Process Soap

from SummerfieldSoaps

This is the best soap I have ever used!  I love the smell and the clean feeling it leaves!  My skin is the best it has ever been.  Do research on Goat's Milk Soap.  You will find that it does wonders for your skin!

Chevron Return Address Stamp - Personalized Self Inking Stamper

from MJsArtStamps

I bought this with our name and address mostly to use for my packages that I mail out from my Etsy shop, but have found that this is so cute and handy to use for letters and cards that I send out as well!  It is self inking and will pretty much never run out.  Way cheaper than ordering those stickers!

Leather Women Watch - Leather Wrist Watch - Women's Leather Wrist Watch

from TKTIME

I love, love, love this watch and it was only like $16!  It has a leather band with a gold face so it matches all of my outfits!

All Natural Goat's Milk Lotion Shea Butter and Essential Oils Helps With Psoriasis Prone Skin

from TwoGirlsSugarSwirls

Ok, here I go with the goat's milk again....I'm telling you, just try it!  This lotion has been awesome!  I ordered the Black Raspberry Vanilla.  Not sure if I will try any other flavors since I love this one so much!  It says it helps with Psoriasis prone skin.  I have dry skin, especially in the winter, and it has helped so much!
