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.

We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 6, Sealed With A Kiss

This week’s collection is inspired by the expression “Sealed With a Kiss,” and once again Etsy comes through with glorious items galore!

A vintage compact, jewelry made with seals in mind, an old-time kiss, even the materials to seal your own letters – including natural, botanical wax with no petrochemical synthetic polymers! – Etsy, you’ve done it again! Our list of favorites grows ever longer.  : )

We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 3, Lottery Dreams

For our third We Want It Wednesday, we decided that we wanted to win the lottery. You're all invited to help us celebrate! No such party would be complete without amazing Etsy finds, and since we're hypothetical millionaires, we've decided to focus on some of the pricier Etsy pieces. And boy are they worth the dough!

In the top row, from left to right, we start with a beautiful, hand-beaded Thumbelina necklace that Big Sis would be wearing to our soiree. It would be paired with a lovely sky-blue gown to complete her light and ethereal theme. We would be feasting on this fantabulous topsy-turvy Mad Hatter cake, and there's enough for everyone to have seconds!

From left to right in the bottom row, Younger Sis would be rocking it out in this fiercely glamorous purple gown, with an equally stunning purple necklace featuring intricate beading and polished stone. Once the sugar from the cake had the time to set in, we could all take turns swinging from this Parisian shopping chandelier! The chandelier would be slightly prophetic, because come sunrise we would all be hopping on a jet to Europe for a whirlwind shopping spree!

Much like the denizens of the bookshelves and DVD collections we ShinyGoLucky sisters hold dear, this is an unlikely group, but one that works.
