Etsy love ....

Hello! So I decided to drop the roman numerals for my Etsy love posts because it just became kind of silly to keep adding those things when I do them every Tuesday. It was also annoying to have to go back and see what number I was on. So .... gone! Hope you enjoy this week's picks! They're a pretty eclectic bunch.

French macarons are really too beautiful to eat. But I think I'd make an exception with the ones from Sparkles Kitchen. I was impressed by the exotic flavors in the shop. There is black sesame, macha azuki (green tea with red bean cream), sumiyaki coffee, rose and Japanese plum. Yum.

Basilicus Jones has these great vintage utensils cleverly reworked into place card holders, plant markers and cheese markers. Too cool. There's also a sweet story behind this shop's name. Its namesake is a Tibetan Terrier once ravaged by infection and neglect, but overcame all that and became an inspiration. The products are "one of a kind, just like Basilicus; once found and shaped into beauty, with care and love."

toHold sells live tillandsia air plants. They're definitely unique. They are typically found in the forests, mountains, the deserts of Central and South America, Mexico and the southern U.S. They grow without soil and are found attached to other plants.

Love Sugar is a cute little shop that sells these really simple and precious prints with the best messages. Follow your bliss? Yes. I. will.
