do you love hedgehogs? new favorite etsy shop

from sara carr's etsy shop 

sweet kissing hedgehogs, hand knitted and knobbly -- wish i could knit like that ~

 

 

and, just in time for autumn's chill, some clever pencil scarves ~

 

fergusandme has already hearted sara's shop . . . .

it's fall, that's all

 

so maybe it's the pumpkins we saw yesterday at Earthfare, or maybe it's the veritable deluge-through-the-mailslot of shiny, happy catalogs bearing all manner of costumes, decorations, and other goodies, but talk around the dinner table here at the fergusandme household had a definite halloween slant last night . . . since we're trying to go handmade or recycled this year, we thought we'd share our fave Etsy halloween finds, so we've replaced our shop feed (more fun that way!) Hope all of this gets you in the spirit!

treasures found

Here's Caroline on Saturday with a sampling of her favorite estate sale find of the day.  She was thrilled to find shop cards full of vintage early 1970s sunglasses, some mirrored, some not, some with bugs bunny, some even made in Italy . . . she's going to put them on our etsy shop, which I'm glad about, since I think there are about 50 pairs.  Her big brothers and little brother quickly claimed a few, though.  The teen boy verdict: cool! Looks like those ones we've been buying in Nordstrom all summer!  The little boy verdict: can I take the lenses out?  Can I have one for my bear? My verdict: sweet memories - as soon as I saw that card with bright and cartoon festooned kiddie sunglasses, I felt like a little kid again, begging my mom and dad for a pair . . .
