Friday Etsy Favorites - Agate

I maybe could have filed this under Design Crush, but it's Friday and I'm in love with agate.  I really don't see it is a trend because agate has been around forever, literally.  Alas, I know it is a trend as they now have fake agate coasters at Target, but it's one that will never go out of style in my opinion.

 I am the proud owner of a similar agate slice with it's own personal wooden holder designed by Lauren of Stone + Violet. I love the unique colors of these agate necklaces from Simon and Ruby. Agate + gold = awesome coasters by Kirahley Kreations.  There's no better place to display some of your favorite design books with these bookends from Alex Marie Design. I have a soft spot for natural curiosities like fossils, feathers and stones so agate is a no brainer. Are you in love with agate?

Friday Favorites from Etsy

One thing I love about Etsy is that you never know what you are going to find.  I enjoy finding new shops or artists and so I decided to share with you some of my recent favorite finds.  I am in this metallic mood, so I have been drawn to gold leafed or items finished in gold or brass like this spotted gold leaf vessel by the object enthusiast or these geometric trays by the vintage vogue.  I love soap and I love giving it as gifts so these beautifully wrapped ones from Amumii Naturals would be perfect.  I've already shared my love of all things dipped so I am drawn to everything in the Jac and Jill shop, but these Shibori tie dye pillows in this lattice pattern is so me!  I hope you have enjoyed my new finds and hopefully found something you love, too.
