Etsy Love :: Perfect in Pastel

Mar 31, 2015


ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR

With Easter right around the corner and Spring officially here (at least in spirit), my color palate is quickly changing to a bit of a softer tone.  Here are some favorite pastels that I’ve come across on Etsy lately.

I just adore the hot air balloon mobile.  How sweet would that look in a nursery?  Or as decoration at a bridal shower…or even wedding?  Darling.  And even though our family isn’t a “cat family” (ie: insanely allergy prone to cat dander) I can’t help but love these capnip bunnies.  Seriously.  They’re like little peeps but delightfully hand stitched.  And I love the little tags she’s added with her shop name…I love little added elements like that.

What about you?  Are pastels something you’ve found yourself leaning toward lately?

The decision is yours, and whether or not you decide to buy something is completely up to you.  Purchasing from my links does not alter the pricing in any way for you, it simply helps feed my sewing, creating and blogging habits.  Thank you for your support!

    That's all so sweet for spring! The only pastel I really wear/lean towards are nail polishes. I love light blues and purples (and pinks..and greens…all the nail polish!)

    The pencils make me want to ditch my mechanical one and go old school.

    I pretend to be a nail polish girl. I wish I could be. But I chip the crap out of polish about five minutes into wearing it. Jealous of anyone that can handle the upkeep on them. Because i fail at it.
