So, last week, I wrote about some unique and totally awesome Mother’s Day gifts, I found on Etsy.  If you missed it, you can check them all out here.

I purposely, though, left out jewelry.  There is so much gorgeous jewelry on Etsy, and I wouldn’t have been able to showcase near as much, without devoting an entire post to it.  There are so many beautiful pieces that would make perfect gifts for the moms, grandmas, wives, aunts, etc…, in your life.

So, here you go!

 

I am in love with this Family Tree Necklace from delezhen.  It’s just so elegant!

 

For a different take on the Family Tree Necklace, this one from SusanAnna is also really pretty.  And, I love the colors.

 

This Personalized Gold Bar Ring, from LayeredAndLong, is so unique.  It’s simple, but classy.

 

FrostedWillow sells the prettiest Family Tree Bracelet in her store.  You can personalize this with anywhere from one to four charms.  So cute!

 

The Skinny Bar Necklace, from LEILAjewelryshop, would make a perfect Mother’s Day Gift.

 

These matching bracelets would make a sweet gift for your mom.  When you order from LemonArtStudio, you get to choose between flowers and hearts for your charm, and you also get to choose the color of your band.

 

This beautiful circle necklace can come with up to  charms, and can include up to 15 names.  This gift from CentimeGift would make a wonderful present for your Grandmother.

 

I adore these dainty stacking rings, from KathrynRiechert.  I would love to receive these as a gift, on May 14th.

 

MignonandMignon has a slightly different, but just as pretty, take on the Vertical Bar Necklace.

 

What mom wouldn’t love this Charm Bangle Bracelet from LaLaCrystal?  The initial charms and the tree charm are so gorgeous.

 

Here’s a super pretty Grandmother Necklace sold by powderandjade.  You can personalize this with up to 10 birthstones.

 

There are so many incredibly pretty jewelry pieces offered on Etsy right now.  If one of these isn’t right for the Mother in your life, I’m sure you won’t have any problems finding the right one.   With all of the talented artists selling their creations on Etsy, there is something for everyone.  And, I mean everyone.

I am definitely ready for Winter to leave.  Just last week, in Ohio, we had snow one day, and 70 degrees a couple days later.  It’s time for Winter to say good-bye, and let Spring do it’s thing!

To get ready for spring and brighten our homes, I found some gorgeous wreaths on Etsy this week.

 

I love everything about this Pink & Cream Hydrangea Wreath, from jennyCmoon.  The colors are so pretty, and with the burlap and the monogram…  Perfect!

 

The coral and light brown in this wreath from WreathMeLoveBoutique definitely says spring in an understated and elegant way.

 

Nothing faux about this fresh Adina Pepperberry Wreath from ClubBotanic.  It features both olive and bay leaves, along with seeded eucalyptus, pepperberries,  and viburnum berries.  Beautiful!!

 

This next wreath from CuriousBloom is really unique.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wreath quite like it.  It features felt flowers, and I really love the fact that it features a slim profile.  So, if you don’t have tons of space between your doors, this would work perfect.

 

I think this Succulent Wreath is so cool!  And, with proper care, the succulents will live on the wreath for months, and can then be transplanted to the ground for even more enjoyment!  Visit TerracottaCornerFL to see this wreath and the many other succulent wreaths.

 

So many cute wreaths!!  If you didn’t see one you love here, hop on over to Etsy and you are sure to find one that fits your tastes.  Guaranteed!

XOXO ~ Tracy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, a couple weeks ago I wrote about two different ways to hard-boil eggs.  Today, it’s time for the fun part…  Coloring and decorating your eggs!

I love decorating eggs with my kids.  I know how much I enjoyed it when I was younger, and I know that we are creating memories and traditions that they will hopefully share with their little ones, someday.  I do, however, experience minor anxiety every year, when it’s time to fill those little cups with colored dye.  My 4 kids are clumsy.  Extremely clumsy.  I feel like the saying “bull in a china shop”, was created after someone witnessed my kids.  They are completely unaware of their surroundings.  And I don’t want to have to watch those little cups tipping over.  So, I have found some really cute ideas, that don’t involve cups of dye, and they really look like they will be fun.

 

Tie Dye Easter Eggs

I found this method on One Little Project, and this looks like a fun and easy way to color the eggs.  And not too messy, as long as we wear gloves.  The only problem I see is my impatient children, constantly asking if they can unwrap their eggs.  Constantly.  Over and Over…

 

Polka Dot Easter Eggs

These are simple and cute.  And easy.  I really think my kids would like to put their own little touch on these eggs, and plus they get to use paint.  Such a cute idea from The Girl Creative.

 

Cool-Whip Dyed Eggs

A Crafted Passion has a really great way to color eggs, using Cool-Whip!  Similar to the shaving cream method I’ve seen around, but definitely non-toxic.  I definitely think gloves would be a good idea, to keep those little fingers free of dye.

 

Watercolor Floral Eggs

This is such a cool method, though it does use cups of dye.  But, honestly if I could find cups shown on Dream a Little Bigger, it wouldn’t be so bad.  They definitely wouldn’t be likely to tip over.  But anyway, I just love how the eggs turned out.  They look so classy and elegant.  Plus, I think the kids would really enjoy this one, and I can totally see them coming up with their own creations.  Something other than flowers…

 

So, I know that some of you are still going to go for the cups of dye.  And, more power to you.  I just can’t do it.  But, if you choose that route, check out these great color cheat sheets from McCormick.

       

 

No matter which method you choose, just have fun.  Enjoy this time with your children, making precious memories.

XOXO ~ Tracy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am a huge Etsy fan.  I love the variety and the uniqueness of the items that I can find there.  If I have an image in my head, more often than not, I can find it on Etsy.

My goal is to, at least once a week, highlight some Etsy items and feature them in a post, here on Making Life From Lemons.  Since Easter is right around the corner, I found some really cute Easter Basket Fillers, this week.

Check out these cute Peeps-shaped bath bombs from SnazzieBombs.  Just a reminder, you definitely would want to keep on your little ones, with these.  They may look pretty tasty!

 

I love these adorable felt puzzles, by DesignsByRAJA.  She has so many different puzzles to choose from.  I chose the duck to show you, but there are dinosaurs, bunnies, giraffes(!), and so many more…

 

All kids (and adults) love sidewalk chalk.  This egg-shaped chalk from  CasualHomeStyle is so cool.  I think that the eggs may be easier for little hands to hold, too.

 

My kids love puppets.  And, they especially love putting on puppet shows that last for hours and hours and hours…  So, I know they would love these little adorable finger puppets from stuffnjunkbyheidi.  So Cute!

 

Here’s another fun basket filler.  What kid doesn’t love Tic Tac Toe?  The carrying bag and X & O stones make this such a neat little gift.  Visit G3CraftyCreations to purchase this game and to check out the rest of their gifts and decor.

 

I’ve saved these last two items for the end, because they are definitely more girly gifts, but since I have three daughters, I had to share!

I love this Bunny Ear Scrunchie from KawaiiHairCandy.

 

And, these Peeps Earrings are so stinking cute!  Visit JOcustomdesigns for these and more.

 

Hopefully, these items gave you some ideas and inspiration for easter basket fillers, beyond jelly beans (yuck!).
