Triangle Peg Game Review from Rustic Trail Crafts on Etsy!

Today we will be taking a closer look at a very unique Etsy store. I am so excited to be sharing this shop with you. The name of this shop is Rustic Trail Crafts. This shop is really cool and totally caught my eye when I was browsing on Etsy recently. If you are familiar with the restaurant Cracker Barrel you are going to know exactly what these little games are. When I was little this is where I was introduced to this game to be honest with you. It's pretty much a version on checkers but you play it alone. You are given a peg board with pegs in it. There is one missing peg and you use the others to "jump". Its a very easy concept and the goal of the game is to be able to jump all the pegs so you are left with none at the end. It's really a fun and simple game to play. I remember playing it a lot as a child.

So when I seen this shop I just knew I would love to review on of their games for them. The game that they sent me to review  is one that is made out of 9mm bullets. This really caught my eye because usually when I seen these games they were only made out of golf tees's I've never seen someone take their own approach on these. Which really makes these one of a find for sure.

These are hand made which is another reason why I love them. You can really see the craftsmen ship that has gone into each game. I am super impressed with the quaulity of these. The wood alone for these are just gorgeous.

Another awesome thing that is included with the purchase of these is instructions on how to play the game in case you plan on gifting this to someone and you are unsure if they are familiar with this game or not. I am so glad they included this as well. It's just something small, but I am absolutely terrible at explaining things so this really does help me out a whole bunch for sure!

In conclusion I have nothing bad to say at all about this product. I am truly blown away with the craftsmen ship. I love how simple this is but could be such a personal gift to someone, or even yourself. I plan on keeping mine of my coffee table. It's a great simple game for you, or even your guests that come over can pick up and play. I have had this in my living room since Christmas time and it definitely is  a conversation starter for sure, and then it always turns into a competition on who will have the least amount of pegs left over. lol

I want to thank  Rustic Trail Crafts for being a part of my blog and sending me this product to review. I absolutely love it and I am so excited to own this. I hope you all take the time to check out their shop listed below:

Disney Christmas Kitchen Set Review from MrsTMagicCreations

Today I have another Christmas item to share with you today. This one comes from MrsTMagicCreations. This is a kitchen set that she custom made for the holidays and it's just adorable. Of course it's Disney too! You all know how much I love my Disney items. I just seen these and instanly fell in love with them! This kitchen set features two pot  holders and dish rack. This listing is no longer available on her site but she has tons of others that are. This is just to give you an idea on what she offers in her shop!

The first item that I will talk about is the dish rag. As you can see there are so many details on this rag it is pretty incredible. I love how the whole towel is cover in something. This definitely screams Disney Christmas and that's totally the truth. I love the design of this one. It is an adorable Minnie Mouse gingerbread house. I think the design is so creative and it's truly beautiful. 

 

Next up we have the Mickey gingerbread man pot holder. How adorable is this? It matches perfectly with the towel and I love the way this one looks. This one is more simple compared to the towel but it is still really cute. I think this is so perfect for the holidays I love how they look in my kitchen it just adds the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen to give it that extra Disney Christmas feel

The last thing included in this set is an oven mit. This one is just plan but it matches the towel, and the other pot holder. I actually like how this one is plan it kind of balances the whole set out and isnt too over the top if you know what I mean. I really love how it matches with the 2 other pieces. I mean I have so much kitchen stuff and nothing matches lol. It's nice to have a matching set even if its just for the holidays :) lol.

 

I am blown away with the quality of these pieces for my kitchen they are super adorable and you can tell a lot of time was put into making these and it truly shows in her work. Everything listed in her shop is truly adorable. I am so glad I was able to find this Etsy shop and discover these just in time for the holidays :) I hope to work with her again in the future and show you  guys so more stuff from this amazing shop!

I would like to thank MrsTMagicCreations for being a part of my blog. I loved working with you and I really love your shop. It's amazing and all your items you have listed are beautuful. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope we stay in touch!

Disney Home Sign From Katies Sunshine Shop! Review

 

 

Today I will be sharing with you all probably one of my favorite new decor pieces I have in my house. If anyone knows me then you know I am a Disney fanatic. I am beyond obsessed with Disney and I tend to go to Disney World as frequent as I can. I am an annual pass holder and I try to get there at least 2 times a month. I absolutely love it. I go so often I truly consider Disney my 2nd home at heart. Which is why this piece that I found is just absolutely perfect for me!

I stumbled upon her Etsy store and I immediately fell in love with everything that she has posted on her site. If Disney isnt really your thang, then done worry. This shop offers a huge range of different signs that are perfect for pretty much any home decor you might already have. I had to pick this one just because it's so perfect for me!

 

So not only does this sign look fabulous! It is super sturdy and is made out of really nice wood. You can tell this shop owner truly takes time into making these pieces. These signs are hand painted and not just stuck with vinyl which really makes a huge difference as well. In the photos it's kind of hard to tell but the castle is actually sprinkled with "Pixie Dust". It looks beautiful and it was seriously one of the best finishing touches she could have done to make this piece look more perfect! Another awesome thing about this piece is that not one sign will look just like another. All the wood pieces she has are all different and they have different markings and knots on them which really make them stand out from one another.

 

If you are purchasing this sign the dimensions for this particular one is " 9-1/4" x 24" x 3/4". Its really the perfect size. I hung this right next to my front door and I just love it! These signs come with hardware already attached which is a huge extra  bonus for me! I'm terrible when it comes to just hanging things up, and this just eliminates a whole step for me which is awesome!

 

Final thoughts on Katie's Sunshine Shop? I am blown away. The piece is truly amazing. I love the design. I love how it looks in my home. I love how it gives me a little Disney touch to my home. I love how durable it is. I can tell I am going to have this sign forever. I have nothing bad to say at all about this sign, or this shop. I am blown away with everything. The shop owner Katie is also super friendly and helpful as well. 

I would now like to thanks Katie's Sunshine Shop for being included in my blog! I wish you the best and I am so honored to have included such an amazing shop!

Mario Coasters Review from The Rogue Streak -Review

Today I have another very unique item that I am really excited to share with you all. I have a great gift that would be pretty much perfect for anyone. These are custom coasters from an etsy shop by the name of The Rogue Streak. This is a pretty awesome etsy shop I must say. The owner of the Rogue Streak is Dana and she is based out of Kentucky. She sent me one of her top selling coaster sets which is Mario themed. I am pretty much obsessed with these. I have been looking for coasters for my home for quite some time and these are just perfect. I am actually truly amazed with the quality of these coasters and that's for sure! Not only do these coasters look really nice, they are actually really durable too! I was also really impressed with the how she packed these up for me. Honestly when this package arrived on my front door I had no idea what it was lol. The box was superrrrr heavy and it also took me a few minutes to open everything.

She packaged up everything amazing! The coasters were wrapped up so nicely, there was no possible way that these were going to get destroyed in transit to me. Not only was everything very protected it was also very neat and put together beautifully. She included a hand written card which was very nice too! She also threw some candy in there too which is always a nice little bonus lol.

If Mario isnt your thang then dont worry she has plenty of other coasters to choose from on her website that would probably be more appealing for you. Personally I don't see how you couldn't love Mario! I am  beyond obsessed Mario was a HUGE part of my childhood so when I seen these listed on her site I knew that I had to make them mine!

Lets get into the details on these coasters. She sells these coasters in sets of 4 and 6. The one that i received to review is in a set of 5. The listing price is only $16.00 and when you break that down it comes out to be only $3.20 each which is insanely reasonable! These are home made and you cant even find great prices like this in a store. I think my favorite little "feature" about these coasters are the felt feet placed on the back of each coaster. This way you dont have t worry about these scratching the surface that you plan oon using these with.

Included in my box was also a hand made ornament! These you can add on to any order that you have with this shop. These are adorable little ornaments that will look amazing on your Christmas tree.  She also has a huge variety of these on her Etsy shop too. All the proceeds to these ornaments are going to a family in need this holiday so make sure you check those out too! I am really in love with my ornament I think it adds the perfect finishing touch to my tree and I love the style of this ornament as well. You truly can't find ornaments like these in the store either.

I know when you see things listed online you become hesitant to purchase them because you cant really hold and feel what these products are like in real life.  But I am here to assure you that these products are amazing. I am really impressed with these coasters and they are beautiful as well. I know for a fact that I will have these for a long time. If you are looking for Christmas gifts for friends or family these might be the perfect thing to get for them!

I would now like to thank the Rogue Streak for being featured on my blog. I really hope all of you take the time to check out her Etsy shop even if you don't plan on buying anything!

StarSeventeenStudio- Donut String Art Review

This is probably the coolest piece of art I have yet to receive and share with you all here on my blog. This piece is from an Etsy shop called StarSeventeenStudio This shop immediately caught my eye when I was browsing my favorite place (Etsy of course). This shop owner is super talented and makes pieces of art that I have never seen anything like before. She creates these art pieces made entirely out of string. I have no idea how she even does it but I am truly blown away. I looked through her shop several times and I love how much of a variety that she has. She really has something for everyone which is really neat. When we chatted about me reviewing something for my blog. She told me she wanted to do something custom just for me which got me extremely excited. I mean honestly I would have been happy with any of the pieces that she sent to me that are posted in her shop but she went that extra mile and truly wanted to make me happy and make me something that she hasn't made for anyone else yet which is pretty freaking awesome. When she told me she wanted to make me something custom I had soooooo many ideas flowing through my brain. Then it finally came to me. I just moved in my own place this past April and my theme for my kitchen currently is donuts(don't judge). I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a decor peice for my kitchen. You actually wouldn't believe how hard it is to find donut stuff. I left it at that. I didnt tell her anything else just that I wanted something donuts. Boy oh boy did she really blow me away....

Lets start with the packaging of my donut art. When I received this in my mail to be honest I didn't even know it was this! The package was sooo big and so heavy I really didn't expect that to be inside of it. She took her time wrapping this bad boy up pretty damn good. There was literally no way that this thang could have broke in the  mail and she made sure that was not an option lol When I opened it for the first time it did take a little bit of time because there was sooo many layers of bubble wrap lol. I was actually really impressed with how well this was packaged and wasn't expecting it to be this well protected.

When I seen this for the first time I was so impressed. My first impression was "OH MY GOD!, HOW DID SHE EVEN DO THIS???". I have yet to ask her btw lol. Anyways I was super blown away with the end result she did an over the top and beautiful job. This seriously looks like something you would pay top dollar for at a home decor shop.  I seriously love the design that she made for me too. I think it matches beautifully with my kitchen decor too! I am obsessed with this by far. I placed it on my kitchen counter and I have  received so many compliments on it so far. 

The quality of this piece is outstanding as well. I could sit her all day and tell you how beautiful it looks. But whats also is important is the quality. If your paying for something you want it to hold up. I have no doubt in my mind that this product wont hold up for me. It is made out of really thick wood thats very heavy and the nails are placed in super deep so I dont have to worry about them coming out or anything like that for sure. I am super pleased with this product and I know for a fact I'm going to have this for a long time!

I have nothing negative to say about this shop at all. I am pleased with how everything came out. The product is beautiful, and durable. The shop owner was also a pleasure to work with. She is extremley nice and I am so glad I got to work  with her.

I would like to thank StarSeventeenStudio for being a part of my blog!

Branch Out! Review

 

I'm coming out you guys with another Esty review today. This review will be on the shop called Branch out. This is a store that makes all kinds of hand carved spoons out of wood. This shop is truly one of a kind. I was browsing their site and found several products that were just beautiful. I highly suggest going to have a look at this online store and having a peek for yourself.

 

 

These are the spoons that were sent to me to review as you can see these came in a pair. I love these spoons because they are so small. These are made from seasoned ash which is just mind blowing. I can't believe it. You would really never guess that all upon seeing these. I must say these are the perfect size for practically anything. The main use for these according to their website is for spices which is the perfect size for that. In my opinion these have so many more uses then just that. I actually placed one of these in a jar of sugar scrub I currently have in my bathroom and this was perfect because I didn't have a scoop for it, and now I do! I also placed my other spoon in my sugar jar and got rid of my older one I originally had. I love the way these feel in your hands. It's the perfect size to hold on to. I also love how soft these are, you can see how well made these are just by how they feel in your palm. I am truly amazed with the amount of time that was put into these spoons. I think a reason why these feel so soft is because the two layers of olive oil that was added to them once they were finished being made.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/256817381/small-hand-carved-twin-wooden-spoon-set

Retails:($8.00)

 

The dimensions of these spoons are:

"The overall length of the spoon is 52 mm.
The bowl has a width 30 mm while length is 30 mm.
The handle is 25 mm long"

 

On there website they also listed the care instructions which are:

"Rub your spoon with olive oil, peanut or sunflower oil once a month. Dip a paper towel into the oil and gently rub, using a circular motion over the surface of the wood. Work the oil into the sides, top and bottom. When washing the spoon use water and a little bit of soap ( dont use the dishwasher ) and after the washing is done rub the spoon with a towel to avoid moisture entering the wood and avoid cracking."

 

Overall I'm impressed with these. I didn't think I would love these as much as I really do. I can only imagine how amazing some of their bigger spoons are. I am highly satisfied with these spoons, they are beautiful and are so multipurpose. I suggest checking these out for yourself.

Acid Octopus! Review

 

Today I have a review for all of you on an Etsy shop by the name of Acid Octopus. This shop is filled with a ton of fun and unique jewelry pieces. I am really excited to share with you all what was sent to me to review so lets get into this review!

 

 

 

The item that was sent to me as you can tell is a necklace. The pendant on this necklace is a little different from other jewelry that I have. The image on this necklace is the moon and it's gorgeous I love the color scheme for this necklace. It's black/grey which makes the metal of this necklace go perfectly with the piece. I love how well they go together. The metal of this necklace is like a gun metal color which I do really like. I think she did an amazing job at creating this piece. It really is unique and I can promise you that your not going to see a lot of people who have this necklace which makes it that much for special. I love standing out from the crowd. With this piece I will be able to just do that.

The chain that comes with this necklace is 60 cm long which is about 24 inches. This is a really long chain, which is right around what I like for my necklaces. Not too long and not too short either it's pretty perfect for me!

 

I am super impressed with this piece that I got :)

I love it so much and it's going to go well with so many outfits that I own. This shop owner is extremely talented and makes one of a kind pieces. I highly recommend going to check out her shop for yourself!

AmyZolkowskiDesigns! Review

Today I have a very exciting review for you all. I will be reviewing an online Etsy shop that goes by the name of Amy Zolkowski Designs. Her online store sells al kinds of my handmade jewelry made by Amy herself. All of her pieces are one of a kind, and they all are just so gorgeous and unique.

 

 

One awesome thing about this shop is that all of her jewelry pieces are shipped in these nice boxes. Inside the boxes there is some extra cotton, which acts like a cushion or your jewelry. This is to ensure that all of your jewelry pieces arrive in perfect condition. This I can assure you happened. I love how she places each item in the boxes it adds a lot to the pieces, and it's really nice if you plan on giving any of her items as gifts, because they are already boxed up! That saves you an extra step which is something I'm sure everyone would appreciate.

 

 

The piece that Amy sent me to review is a gorgeous pair of earrings. Like I said previously all of her pieces are made one of a kind so I am unable to include the link for this actual item. I decided to include a link for a very similar item that is in her shop, just in case you are interested in buying a piece like this you know exactly where to go. As you can see the earrings that were sent to me are a pair of her wire wrapped earrings. I have gotten a few pieces of jewelry pieces with the similar style with the wire but I can honestly say these are nothing like what I have seen before. There are many things that really make these stand out for me. One being that the type of metal that she uses to create her pieces is oxidized and polished the copper, which is why it's the color that it is. I love the color of the copper and the color of the green bead on each earring. The color go great with each other and contrast really nicely together.I have never seen someone use a metal like this when making wire wrapped jewelry most of the time it ends up being just plain silver, so I really like how this is a little different.

Retails:($18.00)

 

I included a close up picture of these earrings so you can see the detail that was put into making them. As you can see above the bead, towards the top of the earring this is where all the wire wrapping is done. It looks amazing and pretty perfect if I do say so myself. These earrings really look like something you would find in the store. I would consider these earrings to be on the plain side, there isn't a lot going on with them which I really like as well. These earrings are pretty much easy to wear with any outfit. You can easily dress these earrings up, or you could dress them down as well. All of her jewelry pieces are topped with a protective coating which helps the jewelry from tarnishing which is amazing! That is something that I am constantly worrying about with my jewelry so it's nice to know that I will not have to worry when it comes to these earrings. I have to say after I received this package from Amy for the review I put these on instantly. These are my favorite style of earrings, the sort of dangle style. I think look the best on me. I thought these earrings were extremely comfortable and very light weight. I honestly forgot I was wearing them for a while at first, and they didn't irate my ears which was a huge plus as well.

CraftyToucanShop! Review!

 

I have a review for all of you today on online shop on Etsy that goes by the name of CraftyToucanShop! The shop owner is super talented and makes all kinds of home décor items. They all are truly amazing and pretty unique. I was browsing her site and found these awesome necklace holders and told her my interest in reviewing one of these. I told her about my love for Disney and this is what she came up with.

 

 

I am so blessed that she made this custom piece just for me. I am truly in love with this and I plan on using this right away. As you can see her clever little jewelry holders are made on hangers, which to me is a pretty genius idea for a few different reasons. The main reason why I love this being on a hanger is because you can hang this in your closet too! There are several ways you can display this piece but to save space you could honestly place this in your closet and use this to hang up all your jewelry. In my opinion I don't want to store this in my closet just because I want to be able to see it all times. I think this is a piece that needs to be out on display.

 

As you can see from the pictures she placed this adorable Minnie Mouse figurine in the center of the hanger to add a little pizazz to the hanger and I just love it. I think it was really the perfect finishing touch to make this piece scream Disney, which now it does. I love all the small details she included on this piece as well. I love the white flowers she added through out the entire hanger, it really adds just decoration to the piece and I love it. I also like the background she placed behind Minnie Mouse it adds the perfect pop of color and it really makes the pink stand out.

 

On each side of the hanger there are 9 small hooks. This is a total of 18 hooks which is a lot! You could probably hang a few necklaces on each hook too if you needed. This piece really does store a lot which is amazing. I plan on using this piece to hang my favorite necklaces up. I can see you being able to use this a lot of different ways too not even jewelry. This would be an amazing piece to use to hang your keys on by the front door or even to use it to hang up all your scarfs during winter. The possibilities are truly endless with this piece. I cant wait to hang this up and start using it.

 

I decided to take a picture of the back just to show you what kind of work is done with these. As you can see this piece is complelty flawless from the behind. She does such an amazing job at creating these, she makes sure they are perfect, even the back which is awesome. This shows a lot about the shop owner and what kind of work she produces.

 

 

I am beyond impressed with my jewelry hanger. I want to thank Crafty Toucan for allowing me to review this product. I truly love this piece and cant wait to use it! Your work is amazing and I know you shop is going to take you very far!

Artsy Aries Designs! Review!

 

Today I have a product to review for all of you from an online store on Etsy that goes by the name of Artsy Aries Designs! I love getting to review homemade products, and I am super excited to share this store with all of you today! 

 

 

The product that was sent to me from this shop is a jewelry item. Jewelry items are always my favorite to review, and lets just be honest you truly can never have too much jewelry can you? Lol well I don't think you can. Jewelry can add so much to such a simple outfit. It really can make an outfit look so much different. This is why I am such a huge fan and have so much of it. I love being able to add just a simple piece and changing up my whole look! The item that was sent to me to review is a handmade beaded bracelet. Let me just tell you this is such a gorgeous piece. I was unable top find the exact link to this bracelet so below is a link to a similar bracelet just in different colors.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/267734978/gold-rush-african-helix-bracelet?ref=shop_home_active_6

Retails:($22.00)

 

The color scheme for this bracelet is green and dark brown. I have to say these aren't colors I would typically go for. In this bracelet however I just love the two colors together. I think they balance out each other perfectly and I am actually super impressed with how much I love this piece of jewelry. I think both of these colors would pretty much go with any outfit. I am a a fan of having a lot of jewelry on at once and I think this will be perfect for when I layer bracelets on at once.

 

If you look closely at the image above you can really see how much detail was put into this bracelet. The beads are teeny tiny. I cant even imagine how long this took to make. I also wonder how many beads are on this bracelet too. I think this bracelet is gorgeous and truly is one of a kind. As you can see this bracelet just isn't simply beaded it also has a pattern to it. The description of this bracelet is that it looks like the Human DNA and it really does, it has a sort of spiral effect to it. I have to say she did an amazing job at creating this piece and it really is gorgeous. It feels pretty sturdy as well, which was something that I was concerned about because of all the little beads in this piece. I can happily say I have no concerns in wearing this bracelet and I am so excited to have this piece in my jewelry collection as well.

 

This shop owner is extremely talented and I highly suggest checking out her shop for yourself!
