H is for Horticulture

So, we're blogging the alphabet and today is the H entry.  H is for Horticulture.  Horticulture is the science of plant cultivation, and it's the perfect topic for summertime.  Below you'll find some great horticultural listings from Etsy artists.

First up are three listings that I made with beautiful flowers.

G is for Girly

I'm continuing to blog the alphabet and today is the letter G.  G is for Girly.

We'll start off with one of my one of my necklaces.  It's girly because it's so pretty!

Lilac Rose and Periwinkle Frosted Pearls Necklace by Bea Otch on Etsy

This is another necklace that I made and it's pretty, too.  This one is girly because it's pretty but also because it's off kilter.  You know a woman who is keeping the balance of the family, work, and home.  Everything is a little off kilter, but she keeps it aligned anyway...  and all while looking lovely.

Below you'll find items by other wonderful Etsy artists that are girly in their own ways.

It's girly to be proud of your spouse, your spouse's profession, and want to show your pride.  Just like the picture below, this shirt is for the gal who loves being a Fire Wife.  :)

F is for Family

Continuing through the alphabet for this blog series...

F is for Family.  Family is sometimes what you are born into and sometimes it is what you make...  and sometimes it's a little combination of both.  Below you'll find a collection of Etsy items that makes me think of family.

First, here's a necklace with a pendant that has a momma chicken and her baby chickie following behind her.
