I heart Etsy.

I just wanted to share the Etsy purchases I received in the mail yesterday!

I bought these adorable autumn themed rubber stamps from norajane.

I don't use rubber stamps much, because I tend to be clumsy with them for some reason. I know, I know... you ink, you stamp, you ink, you stamp. The concept is simple, but I always seem to over-ink and then end up with marks that aren't supposed to be there and ruining my project. I'm excited about these because they seem to be like stamps for dummies, so that's good for me! :-P
I tested each of them out, and they really do come out looking just like they do in the pictures, even when I'm using them. Hooray! They're very small, so I bought them with the intention of being able to use them to decorate seating cards or maybe the invitation envelopes. Look at how cute the little acorns and pinecones are!





I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend! Make sure to check back often this week, because I'll be posting several new inspiration boards!

Now I'm going out with a couple of girlfriends for Sunday brunch to a new French cafe and pâtisserie. Mmm, croissants and crepes!
