1.) This shop on Etsy has the most lovely collection of vintage dresses I've ever seen in one place. I wish I could afford to have everyone of these little bitties hanging in my closet. They're all so pretty and one-of-a-kind. I'm in awe, honestly. 2.) I'm a huge jewelry freak... I make it for goodness sake, but I don't wear much of it. I have a few items that I refer to as my signatures (the silver mermaid that's been on my left hand for 4 years, the toe ring on my long toe for 6 years, the CZ...
