Esty Wednesday

Etsy can be difficult to navigate, and it usually takes a bit of time to sort through everything and find the real gems, so I am going to take a cue from some of my fellow bloggers and share my favorite Etsy items every week. This week, I give you my top picks for hot summer days...

A lightweight vintage blouse is sure to keep you cool, but if that isn't enough...

this sweet little refurbished vintage fan should do the trick.

Celebrate the long nights of summer by inviting some friends over for dinner
(a tomato tart, fresh corn and basil salad, and a few inexpensive bottles
of Prosecco, perhaps?) and dancing until the stars come out.

If all else fails, hang this map of the South Pole somewhere you
will be sure to see it and pray for winter.
