Etsy Finds & Faves + Weekend Link Love

Hello sweets!  It's Friday...woohoo!  My daughter and I will be seeing the new Karate Kid this weekend.  I was (of course) a huge fan of the original back in the day...were you too?.  The best part of going to the theaters in my book is always the candy and previews!  Yippy!  I hope that however you spend your weekend it will be relaxing and exactly what you are wishing for.

• Jersey Tunic Shirt with Applique - Minx Shop
• Butterfly Garland - This Neck of the Woods
• Vintage Golden Butterfly Pedestal Mug - Loves Me Not
• Royal Quiet De Luxe Typewriter - Hammermann
• Sparkly Facets Silky Blue Necklace - MiniCyn
• Via dei Banchi Vecchi Rome Landscape Print - Medile

Before I head off I wanted to leave you with few links and notes for your weekend:

• Still looking for a perfect Father's Day card?  I'm loving the options found at Rifle Paper Co. and Beau Ideal.  Don't forget to browse around for yourself while you're there (I so want this and this)!
• I can't get enough of Pinterest - a fabulous site for visually bookmarking your favorite finds from around the web onto clever "pin boards" for you to browse and share.  Here mine are.
• Over on twitter this week I was tweeting about Free Rice - an awesome site where you play educational games (it's fun - trust me) and for every correct answer you get, food is donated to impoverished families around the world!  The perfect mix of fun and feel-good!  Tip: Click on Subjects to change the game topic - 'Famous Paintings' is my favorite one right now.
• Just a reminder that my special Wren & Chickadee shop offer is still available through Sunday (Get 2 free postcards with any photo print of 5x7 or more.  Free shipping to the US and Canada).
• A big thanks to Fossil and One Sydney Road for asking me to share a bit about myself on their blogs.  If you missed it you can read the interviews here and here.

Have a great weekend everyone!  See you next week.  xo Ez

Just In Case You Missed It

Hello lovely ones!  I don't want to smack anyone over the head here, but just in case you missed it (I realized that I had neglected to actually share this info with you here on Creature Comforts), I've just recently started a series called Creature Comforts Guide for Better Blogging.  It's completely free and I'm covering topics ranging from advertising, to photography, finding inspiration and more.  I hope you'll check in every week or so to see what I'm up to and please feel free to add your thoughts and questions into the mix.  Hope to see you soon.  xo Ez
