The other night (well, a couple weeks ago I guess!) I came home from a slightly frustrating day of trying to work in my newly moved into studio- think boxes everywhere, mess everywhere, “where on earth did I put that?” and then add no electricity other than an extension cord from the lobby, and trying to cut out a dress by the light of one wimpy lamp. Oh dears!
BUT! When I finally got home, waiting in my mailbox was a special little treasure! It was the vintage ring I’d ordered off of etsy. (www.laralewis.etsy.com). The packing was so cute that I stopped to take a photo, even though I really just wanted to rip it open. A note on a library card? Look at it!
It’s so adorable!
So I immediately put it on and wore it for the rest of the night. So perfectly quirky and vintage…the kind of thing that when you’re wearing it makes activities like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich feel fabulous. Which I did.
Little vintage treasures = love.
Happily Yours,

I’m an etsy addict. I only allow myself to look once a month cuz it’s inevitable I’ll find 1, 2 or 10 must haves. I got an adorable necklace that was painted on the back of a scrabble piece. Love it! Plus I like supporting artists doing their thing! Adore the owl ring…. must go look at etsy now….
i felt the same way yesterday! i bought the most “perfectly quirky” vintage mug shaped like a pineapple with a chipmunk handle, it’s pretty awesome!
It’s looks really cute, and I love the owl design. Great buy! Hope everything keeps going great in your new studio.
It’s great that people still take the time to package items purchased, so pretty and special …and that there are still people who appreciate the effort involved! I love when I get a gift wrapped with so much effort …as much as I want to tear it open, I also just want to look at it for a while!
It’s really cute by the way – very YOU!
What a great way to package a beautiful ring!
oh my! so glad you liked it!

Oh my gosh, I have that exact ring with purple gems in my Etsy favorites, just waiting for a rainy day to purchase!
