Hey everyone! I did some browsing today on the fantabulous Etsy site to see what was out there for Easter....I know, it's kind of late for that, but, it is still nice to see all of the wonderful stuff that these creative folks have to offer in their shops! Here is a little sample of some of the goodies that I ran across and thought were too good to pass up :)

Etsy is full of really awesome things...most of you know that already, so that's nothing new. I just wanted to share with you some of the Valentine's goodies that I found while surfing through the wonderful items on the handmade site.....Here are some really cool printables from Etsy for your Valentine gatherings....I just thought these were really cool :)

1. Sweet Treats Valentine's Printable Collection: ThePartyBakery
2. Valentine's Printable Hershey's Kiss Chocolate Candy Stickers: Daintzy
3. Queen of Hearts Valentine Printable Party Pack DIY: FrogPrincePaperie
4. Textured Keep Calm & Be My Valentine Printable: Daintzy
5. I Heart Valentine's Day Printables: AndersRuff
   

I am always on the lookout for different packaging -- I am a super creative person and I kinda think I am never satisfied -- but, then again, things evolve so why not packaging?!


Here are some of my latest "finds" -- and there is also an Etsy packaging Flickr stream if you would like to see some more goodies. The problem that I run up against is that most of these really cool pictures and ideas are for smaller goods -- not for apparel pieces or aprons.
