Plinks

I wanted to spread some love around today so here are some links to some of my favorite things I’ve either recently purchased or received as gifts from Etsy.  I love handmade items and supporting small business, though to be honest and in an effort to seem less self-righteous, I should tell you that I also love me some Target and other big box stores.   Disclosure:  This isn’t an ad, this isn’t a paid endorsement, these are just things I like.

Several people at Blissdom commented on my super cute camera strap cover, it came from this shop, Red House Seamstress.

My husband bought me this purse for Christmas from Paco and Lupe, I love it!  It’s very exotic, it comes from a foreign country!  Canada!

Since many of the men in my life love hunting and guns and man stuff, I’ve purchased two gorgeous rifle slings from this shop, LeatherPro.  I don’t have a picture, but just trust me, they’re manly and slingy.

I got these rings for Christmas, too, ONLY $10!! Such a deal! From Forevermore Creations.

For their birthdays, we bought both of our moms beautiful, framed stained glass from Beaded Glass. I don’t have pictures of these, but they are lovely and I wish I had one for my home.

And finally, I just bought the compassion heart bracelet from Sistacreations, a local shop here in Knoxville.  100% of the proceeds (100%!!!) go to Manna House, a food pantry that feeds hungry families in Knoxville.
