etsy is my new favorite spot to shop for unique hardcrafted and vintage gifts. find something special for the ones on your list and support artists/creatives/collectors at the same time.

a couple items on my etsy wishlist:

jewelry by brideblu. natural/uncut jems in rough organic settings.

vintage picnic basket! i have ALWAYS wanted one.

wall stencil art by WowWall.

ornaments and more by annerstreet4home.

super cool south western print vintage weekender from the vintage cauldron.

handmade fingerless chunky cable knit bamboo gloves by gknit.

be wishful. be generous. be grateful. just be.

MCM in santa barbara.

check out this mid-century modern beauty in the santa barbara foothills! wowie! im a neutral-palette girl and i love the use of bright color splashes that don't take away from the monochromatic neutral scheme here. clean lines, cozy organic textiles, casual furnishings, and soft lighting balance the simplicity of the architecture.

this peaceful interior design is by sbdigs.

deserted.

ive got desert on my mind as i am steps away from solidifying a grand canyon and sedona backpacking trip to kick off the new year.

while others are bundling up inside by the fire and partaking in chilly snowsports, let the desert warm your thoughts.
