On the Dot Creations

:: Bag Lady ::

Like most women I know, I'm a big fan of purses, pouches, and bags.  There are so many great bags on Etsy, but I've chosen a few great ones to show you today.

If you've never visited the Oktak Etsy shop, you are in for a real treat!  I just love all of the pouches and bags in this shop, and polka dots are on just about every item!  Here's another favorite of mine.  So pretty!

I just love the fabric combination on this lovely Summer Picnic pouch from I Sew.  Even the lining is fun, made of red gingham.  This pouch is perfect for holding craft supplies or cosmetics.  Check out this shop today for other handmade items!

Aren't the colors on this zippered pouch lovely?  I love the water lilies and dots combination!  There are so many lovely pouches in the Fraeulein Herz Etsy shop.  I really like this one, too! 

This purse is so lovely!  Quite sophisticated, I think.  There are so many great bags in the Cotton Candy Boutique shop!  I just love that name, too, don't you?  Cotton candy -- yum!

I really like the shape of this bag from Yunisacs.  This could be clipped inside a larger bag or used on its own.  Pink and red -- so pretty! 

Speaking of pink, tomorrow's dotty picks will all be PINK -- my favorite color!

 

:: Ooo La La ::

 

Good day, friends!  You may remember that during this, my birthday week, I am featuring dotted items along my favorite themes.  Monday was music, Tuesday was cake, and today is jewelry.  I have quite an addiction to jewelry, I must admit.  Just look at the pretty things I found for you today!

I love, love, love the jewelry items in the Lulu Bug Jewelry shop!  I'll take one of each pair of earrings, please!  :0)  Go check out this store today.  I really love this necklace, too!

I was introduced to the Azurine Etsy shop recently, and I'm so glad!  You'll find such beautiful colors on this jewelry, and almost every piece has polka dots!

There's just something that I love about the jewelry in the 3 Dots Etsy shop.  I think it's the dark, smooth wood, combined with lovely beads and jewels.  Visit this shop today! 

So delicate, so colorful, so lovely!  I just love this necklace from Bead Ruby!


You'll find so many polka dots in the Misty Made Etsy shop!  I really like this silver heart!


Have a happy Wednesday, friends.  Stay tuned tomorrow, when I'll share some of my favorite dotty purses/bags -- fun!  :)

 

:: It's My Birthday and I'll Eat Cake if I Want To ::

Yes, friends.  I admit it.  Today I am one year older.  The big 3-6.  Just 4 years away from 40.  Oh me, l'm getting a bit depressed.  Let's not dwell on my age, though.  Instead, let's think about cake . . . yummy cake.  That'll make me feel better, I'm sure. :)

I am so excited that I found the Polka Dots and Pirates Etsy shop!  Jess has everything you need for a fun birthday party.  She does custom design work, too, so check out this shop for more details.  You will love it!

This felt pin cushion from Smarmy Pants is just too cute!  It looks good enough to eat, doesn't it?  Visit this wonderful shop for other lovely items. 

Cake, polka dots, and Swarovski crystal . . . what more could a girl ask for in a pendant??  I just love the fun items in the Sugar Toppers shop!

What a great card from the Sweet Spot Card Shop!  I love that orange!  You'll find lots of dots in this Etsy shop! 

I've been a fan of the Those Greathouse Women shop for a while now.  In fact, I purchased one of Jaime's I Spy bags for my little boy a couple months ago.  I love all of her designs, and they are so entertaining!  Here is a watermelon design that I just love! 

That's all for today, friends.  I'm off to enjoy the rest of my birthday.  More dotty finds tomorrow.  :)

  

:: Music to My Ears ::

 

Hello, friends!  I hope your weekend was fabulous, and that you're having a great Monday! 

Since my birthday is tomorrow, I've decided to feature dotty items that relate to some of my favorite things this week.  I love music, so let's start with that theme today.

How about this Happiness Mini Notebook from Autumn to May?  I just love this shop! 

What a cute mini clipboard from Kute Klipboards by Amy!

I love this personalized child's toy drawstring bag from Junie None!  Up to 5 letters can be added to make this bag one of a kind.

I'm super excited about this!  In just over one month, this blog will be celebrating 6 months of polka dotted fun!

As a way to celebrate (and also thank you for visiting), I am having a huge polka dotted BASH on the week of my six-month blog-iversary.

Here are some of the things that are planned for the party week:

* A Polka Dot Parade (more details coming soon)

Put this party on your calendar now . . . you won't want to miss it! :)

There's just something that I love about these house items today.  Cute, cozy, and of course, dotty!

Eeek!  I just found the Joom Etsy shop recently, and I am in love with the hip, modern design of the items there!  You'll find at least one bird on every single item --- how cool is that?  I love this pillow, too!

What a fun tote bag from My Cuppa' Charms!  This bag comes with a matching house-shaped purse, too!  Check out this shop today!

You'll find all sorts of house items in the Deciduous Soul shop!  Isn't this necklace fabulous?  Here is another necklace that I really like:  Fields of Green.
