I’ve just discovered Etsy and think it’s a wonderful thing! I’m very much for supporting individual crafters and artists or for shopping vintage and reusing and reinventing already existing pieces. So for my first Etsy purchase, I bought this adorable bird brooch made by the lovely Mari Palmatier of Cocobeans, which I was excited to get to wear today. Thank you, Mari, for a beautiful little accessory!
(PS: I’m with A., in that today is a very exciting day for our nation! I teach today, so I had to refrain from wearing political sign-posts, but inside I’m saying: Go Obama!)

I came across your blog the other day through Flickr’s W-R and I adore it! You all have fantastic style and I’m so glad you decided to blog it.
Thanks, Kimberly!
This is so cute. I love the mix of colours, that gorgeous blouse and cardi, and the brooch is just adorable. :D
