etsy // my favorite find

i always see people finding THE absolute cutest things on etsy, but i have never really spent a good amount of time searching through all of the products. so i decided that i would have to take a few moments to see if i could find something to share.

after about 45 seconds of being on etsy's home page, i came across this lovely little piece. and i fell in love. it's a mason jar chandelier!! how clever! and how adorable! i would LOVE to have this suspended over my brand new kitchen table! i might just have to invest in this sometime soon!!

have you found anything on etsy recently?!

+++ new things

about 2 weeks ago, marcos and myself invested in a brand new, gorgeous kitchen table. we had been wanting one for a long time because our kitchen had been occupied by a treadmill for far too long. it was just about time...

we went searching for the perfect kitchen table and found a few used online, but they were asking [what we thought] was quite a bit for something used. we ended up going to oak express one weekend, just to look and see what we could find.. we weren't sure that we would find one that is our style and if we did, we were scared that the cost would be over our budget.

we fell in love with a square counter height table. it can fit 8 people when the leaf is in use. we had to have it. so we bought it. 

since then, we decided that we need something on the table, too. it cannot just sit there and not have decorations. this was really the first time that we got to decorate anything in our home. we have kittens and we didn't want to risk them ruining our decorations, so we've only ever bought pictures and things that were tall enough to keep out of their reach.

but - we are going for the 'rustic' kitchen look. if you have any ideas or suggestions, they're welcome!
