Architec barewood cutting board, DIY succulent wreath, West Elm bamboo laundry hamper, The Paper Nut giraffe trio print, Land's End hammock, Three Potato Four goodlife keytags, Hitch Design iPhone case.

Lots of wish list items this month. (Is it just me or are product designers getting better at their jobs?!) That giraffe print & cloth hamper will be going in the baby room and I really hope to try and make a succulent wreath soon.

    I love the giraffe print. Reminds of the embellished curtains I made for my friend’s baby with jungle animals made from felt and embroidery xxx

    I totally agree!! I feel impressed over and over again while shopping or browsing online. Designers are doing such a great job lately, which is not necessarily good for the length of my current wish list… ha!
    Great collection, that cutting board is definitely swoon worthy!

    Having made a succulent wreath, I suggest using a light weight, dark-colored thread to help hold the babies in for the first couple of weeks. A little bit of dirt in the straw wreath helps too. All of my wreaths are still alive, so good luck!

    Such a cool giraffe print! I love when bloggers offer Etsy picks because searching on the site itself can be SO overwhelming. Thanks!

    I’ve become a fan of simple animal prints lately. I was just pinning some on Pinterest actually. I’m also curious to make a succulent wreath. I have a wooden wreath that a few succulents or even better, air plants, would look great on…. Now there’s an idea!.

    I saw that you pinned this on pinterest and was tempted to buy one for our little girl’s nursery. I’ve refrained for now since I just bought three baby animal prints from The Animal Print Shop. Have you seen them?

    The baby giraffe’s are my favorite. I can barely handle the cuteness.

    Lately, I’ve definitely been more interested in design and how things look. Also, the phone cases from Society6 are some of my favorites.

    Sam,
    Check out Sharon Montrose. She did an interview for Joanna Goddard (A Cup of Jo) recently and has the cutest animal prints.
