Needle Felt Bird Ornament, by moonforest

Jack & Ella Designs has entered a challenge on Blogspot to update/post every day of October. The event is called BLOGTOBERFEST, and is hosted by TinnieGirl, a crafty girl in Melbourne, Australia. If you have a moment, stop by her blog for information about giveaways and promotions that are going on by other Blogtoberfest participants throughout the month of October!

Today's post is "Flocktoberfest," and is dedicated to birds. As I mentioned before, I have mad love for birds, and enjoy surfing through the listings for bird items on Etsy - there are thousands! - and every day I find a treasure that I never knew I couldn't live without.

Enjoy these beautiful (and bizarre) items from our friends at Etsy - Happy October!

FALL in Love!

Autumn Leaves print, by sarahsetsy

Today is officially the first day of autumn, and I couldn't be happier! Fall is my favorite time of year - the weather finally starts cooling down and turning crisp, the trees turn heartbreakingly beautiful colors, and Starbucks starts making their Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread lattes.

Celebrate the autumnal equinox in style - decorate your home with fall colors and spiced candles, get out your favorite throw blankets and cozy sweaters, and relax over a yummy latte or cup of chai tea to some lovely classical piano music. Ahhhhhh, heaven.

Here are some beautiful items to get you in the mood from some of our friends at Etsy - all on sale TODAY!!
