“A mind That nobleness made simple as a fire, With beauty like a tightened bow” | Lemon Milk Etsy

Bows are my one of my favorite things so when this parcel arrived at my house i was overjoyed. I have lusted over Lemon Milk an etsy store selling handmade, gorgeous bows for ages so to finally have one is so great. Lev who owns the store was kind enough to send me a bow, all the way from Canada, in return for a post so of course i jumped on the offer. For those of you who aren't familiar with her store you can visit it here. Warning, you will fall in love.
In my parcel i received the "spring flowers" hair bow, a gorgeous mint green fabric with dainty lilac flowers printed all over. I love the way it's so colorful, now its fall time I'm always looking for something to jazz up my outfit and add a pop of color so im sure this bow will hardly leave my head in the coming months.
 She also wrote me this ever so cute note in a thank you card. I think packaging is so important when it comes to etsy and she certainly didn't disappoint. The bow was rapped in a pink paper and the card appears to be homemade, i love how you can tell just how much Lev puts into her business, it totally pays off.
I really hope you all go and check out the store, you'll love it i promise! Let me know what your favorite lemon milk product is in the comments, i've just spotted her silver bow bracelet which is definitely going on my wishlist.

She Loved Life And It Loved Her Right Back


These bags honestly are the nicest things since sliced bread & bumble bee's
The lovely owner of the store Tea Please was kind enough to send me one of her oh so cute tote bags.
I have liked her etsy store for ages now so i was over the moon when i received one of her quote tote bags in the mail.
The bag itself is so sweet and the packaging is just the same. It came in a pink bag which she had decorated with flowers, hearts and adorable sticker. She even went the extra mile and included a hand written note on the back of her business card. I've probably used the word "cute" way too many times already on this post but i honestly can't think of a better word to describe it.
The bag itself is, wait for it, unbelievably cute!
It has become my go to bag, the quote adds a nice touch to any outfit and the black and white of the bag means you really can wear it with anything. I love all of the bags in the store, you should definitely check out her other quotes. As if it couldn't get any better all Tea Please's bags are eco friendly and made from 100% natural and un-dyed cotton so you can treat yourself while saving the planet!
Amazing finds like this are a reminder of how much nicer smaller stores and unique pieces are compared to large chains that you cant walk down the street without seeing someone with the same bag as you.
Please please go check out their store, everyone needs some tea in their life!

Daisy-Mae Jewellery

Yesterday i received a parcel from the very lovely Daisy-Mae, owner of the equally as lovely etsy store "my green cow"
Inside the parcel were two items of jewelry, these gorgeous daisy earrings:
 and this silver infinity bracelet which is so so cute
 I have actually wanted an infinity bracelet for so so long now so im extremely pleased with this.
Daisy sells all kinds of jewelery and it's all handmade! She is honestly unbelievably talented. Both of my pieces are excellent quality and really well made.
Bracelets are often to big for me so the range of size she gives you with chain is really handy. The bracelet is a really pretty silver which will go with every outfit and add a delicate touch.
The earrings are just as great. They aren't too small that they are noticeable but they're not so big their practically in your face. Just right.
I love pastel pink and daisies at the moment so these are perfect for me! Plus they're the perfect summer accessory.

I really reccomend you go check out Daisy's store and look at all her other gems!
I might have to order some of her m&m earrings, unbelievably cute!
