We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 13, Starry Night

We both love Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night." In fact, Younger Sis even made a beautiful rendition of it in oil pastels, which she gave to me as a gift. Here are some of our fellow Etsians' interpretations of the masterpiece!

We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 12, Lovely Literature


We are big book lovers in the ShinyGoLucky house. In fact, when we were little girls our mom read to us almost every night - when she got to the exciting parts, she would sometimes forget to read aloud! Consequently, we were both very motivated to learn to read for ourselves. This week we're showcasing a collection of Etsy finds inspired by literature.

What Do A Cabbage Patch Kid And A Scarab Pendant Have In Common?



We're so excited about both! Our wonderful mom just had her very first sale in her new Etsy shop, CarolsFineThings . This pretty little Cabbage Patch girl will soon be winging her way across the world to her new mama!

As for us, we scored this knockout scarab pendant/brooch and loads of other vintage pretties at a Memorial Day sale and we can't wait to load up the shop with them! We'll be putting them up soon, and our mom has a ton of treasures she's getting ready to list.

Did any of you score some Memorial Day finds?
