Monday Must Haves : 'Tis the Season!

If you have been out and about lately, you are probably starting to notice the beginning of the holiday season sprouting up everywhere you look. Stores are already playing Christmas music {some have been for quite awhile}, Main Street has already been decorated with wreaths + twinkling lights, and holiday sales are popping up alluring us with fabulously lower prices on goods! How is your Christmas shopping list going? I've been able to pick up some things for certain people...mostly via Etsy or Fab,  but there always seems as if there is so much more to do, so much more to buy, more people to shop for....

I highly recommend to shop  handmade or local this year for your gift giving. There are so many amazingly talented shops on Etsy {in particular} that are full of customizable gifts to keep it personal and other fabulous handmade items that are sure to please anyone this holiday season! Here's a few I found. What amazing items have you found so far this year? Are you like me and feel as if you need to save just a little money to get yourself a small little token of pleasure? Have you picked out what you want this year?

1.} Wooden Fox Brooch by Layla Amber Handmade Creations

2.} Satin Burlesque Boy Short by Natalie + Alanna

3.} Colorful Glitter Large Triangle Stickers by inkkit

4.} Felt Christmas Stockings in Burgundy, Gold & Brown by RikRak

Monday Must Haves :: New to You

I love me some vintage! It is always such a wonderful feeling when you find that perfect, amazing vintage or reclaimed piece to add that much needed spark of character to your room. Adding "new" vintage or reclaimed items to decorate your home creates little nooks and crannies throughout your place that tell different stories, have unique personalities, and add more character than all that new plastic crap made and sold at big chain stores. These pieces are wonderful, interesting, and can always bring new life to a space. And if you've never seen it, it's new to you!

What awesome vintage pieces have you collected over the years? What stories do they tell? I've compiled a lovely little collection of some of my favorite vintage/reclaimed decor pieces from around Etsy that have their own stories, character, and presence. Which one would you like to add to your living space and where would you put it?

1.} Vintage Olive Moss Green Table Fan by Anna Lou Vintage

2.} Air Plant in Blue Bird Cage - Distressed Teak LIVE Garden by Earth Sea Warrior

3.} Reclaimed Wood and Steel 'Big Sur' Table by Blake Avenue

4.} Mid Century AM/FM Radio in Walnut Cabinet by Reclaimer

5.} Vintage 1950s Bell Howell Film Projector by Half Pint Salvage

6.} Old Map of San Diego on METAL Triptych by Art House Graffiti
