Etsy is a very big marketplace in which one can easily get lost. So consider today's post is a little help from a friend. Follow along to see where to shop for things that are far from ordinary and promise to make you smile.

   

HERE:  14 Fanciful Finds

Canvas Storage Bins
You might remember my Halloween post featuring Lovelane. Lane's work is so fabulous any time of year! These baskets are super fun and useful. A good way to package an awkward present under the tree, too.

Anchor Card and Charm Necklace
Thank you cards are nice, but this one is special. We all have helpers in our lives. It just might be the time to tell them how much they are appreciated. This is a sweet way to do it. You will find cards and jewelry for asking friends to be your bridesmaid, Wishbone birthday cards and much more.

Tuesday's Trend: It's All Very Velvet

( Via Neiman Marcus )

If you haven't noticed, the world of fashion is absolutely crushing on velvet this season. Almost every designer at all price levels are showing this luxe fabric from head to toe. After taking myself on this shopping excursion, I am finding velvet very #swoonworthy, too.

HERE: 14 Pretty Picks

Roberto Cavalli Printed Velvet Blazer and Pants
If you love this look, you must shop fast as it is almost sold out. I can see why. The outfit is the definition of "more is more!" The jacket would be fab with denim, too.
Net-a- Porter  

Liquid Gold Velvet Pull On Pants
These are the pants you want for entertaining and lounging at home. I just love them!
Free People    

DVF Velvet Jumpsuit
The perfect party outfit to see you through the season. It's a classic, and the fabric is gorgeous. It's so good, it selling out quickly. I found a few for you at
DVF  and  Neiman Marcus

Gianvito Rossi Velvet Footwear
Beautiful in rose blush, these are exclusive to My Theresa. The Margaux suede bootie is fabulous, too!
My Theresa 

Josie Natori Velvet Draped Shrug
Natori's shrug is one chic layering piece that you will wear over everything!

Kaelen Velvet Choker
Grey matters. This chic choker makes a soft statement on any exposed neckline.
Nasty Gal    

Silk and Velvet Buttondown
Doesn't this look comfortable? I love the way the back drapes. Consider this your new boyfriend shirt. 
Anthropologie 

Priscilla Velvet Dress
One of my very favorite dresses of the season.  It features a stunning sculptural sleeve and a rich blend of textures. Part of the RL Collection, so the sensational style is reflected in the price tag. Love!
Ralph Lauren  

7 For All Mankind Brocade Velvet Jeans & Jacket
Even jeans get the velvet touch this season. Where couldn't you wear these pants and jacket? This is what a modern pantsuit looks like. Each piece sold separately.
Neiman Marcus   

Eliza J Cold Shoulder Velvet Top
All the pieces here can take you through the holidays, but if you can only have one thing, get this top. It's sexy, dressy, and under $100.
Nordstrom   

Veronica Beard Greenwich Dickey Jacket
After searching high and low for a black velvet jacket, this is my favorite find. It's the perfect layering piece for this season.
Veronica Beard 

Velvet Nova Jumpsuit
So on trend in both texture and style. This blue velvet one piece is perfect for cocktails or after midnight.
Anthropologie  

The Nealy Printed Velvet Boot
A cool geometric print lends a mod vibe to these perfectly cut and comfy boots.
Madewell 

Pyper Blouse
Featuring two of the seasons key trends, cold shoulder and velvet. The off the shoulder blouse smolders with sheer burnt out florals and flounces on the sleeves.
