California Dreaming

I've been seeing a lot of state-specific things recently, and am loving it!

I bought a shrinky-dink necklace many years ago at a little boutique in San Francisco - it is California in pink with a little heart over the bay area.  I love it.

And, am loving the other state things I'm seeing:

Minted has some amazing foil-stamped art.  The Husband and I recently got this print:

Dogeared makes some dainty, adorable little necklaces.  I'm digging the state ones (in gold and silver tones):

BaubleBar has a similar state necklaces with little crystals in them:

This little California Bear necklace in rose-gold by Poshmark is adorable:

In the DIY arena, I've been wanting to try something like this string art - nails and string - presto - a super cute piece of art.

For the baby in your life - what could be cuter than a wood engraved state-shaped rattle?  Etsy, of course.

All kinds of cute stuff out there to show your love for your state.

Ahhhh, another set of Dapper Animal plates!

Be still my heart - there is a new set of Dapper Animal plates at West Elm!!!

And, to my surprise, when showing them on-line to the Husband, he said, "Let's go to West Elm this week and pick up a set."  And he was serious!  I think he's getting into these plates and loving them too!

Can't wait!!!!
