Made in America Monday ~ Etsy Top 5

This Monday, I've decided to share my five favorite etsy shops (of the moment) with you.

Etsy is a great place to shop American-made and support small businesses - two things I really make an effort to do.

Here are my current favs:  (in no particular order)

1.  Brookish - Jane Austen inspired merch - need I say more?  I have Mr. Darcy's Proposal Scoop Neck Tee - it's one of my favorite layering pieces.

2.  Artwark - Rochester NY jewelry designer, with really fun, affordable pieces.  I have tons of her stuff!  Love!  Best known for her "Mother's Love" necklace pictured below.  I get compliments on mine constantly! Great gift idea!

3.  Storiarts - these infinity book scarves are fantastic.  I have Jane Eyre and wear it all the time!

4. Truche - Made to order jewelry.  My favorite are her United States of Love - State Necklaces - such a cute way to show pride for your home state.  The New Jersey one has been on my wish list for ages... I need to just break down and buy it for myself one of these days...

5.  House Hold Words  - removable vinyl wall decals for your home.  I have "Masterpieces" up in our playroom over Colten's art wall display.  So cute!  Thinking about where I have room for another one...

One Sweater - Two Looks

I love taking pieces I already have to create new looks; I also like to travel light.  So these looks actually have more in common than my favorite (new) old man sweater.  Both outfits feature the same sweater, earrings, watch, tights, vintage ring and cowboy boots; yet each look has its own unique feel.

Here I am yesterday in Central Park:

Aldo sunglasses, garage sale earrings, Old Navy bag,
Forever 21 dress,  Moth cardigan via Anthropologie, Anthropologie belt,
Movado watch, vintage ring, DKNY tights, Target cowboy boots,

The inscription on the bench... how sweet! 

Here I am this morning at Englewood Cemetery:

garage sale earrings, handmade scarf,
Moth cardigan via Anthropologie,   Antropologie Wightwick Manor Dress,
Movado watch, vintage ring, DKNY tights, Target cowboy boots 

The first outfit I wore yesterday in New York City.  I spent the afternoon walking around Central Park and met some friends for dinner at Stecchino wine bar and bistro in Hell's Kitchen.  The second outfit I wore to a memorial service for my great aunt Virginia.  I think verstatile peices are the key to any wardrobe.  When you can mix and match what you have to create many different looks, your closet just seems bigger.

With that said, I have to know:  which look did you like best?
