Friday Feature: birthday wish list

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up with me this past week for my Friday Feature link up!  Here are just a few of the great finds that were featured.  Click on the photos to check out the item listings, blog posts, etc.

Last year when I wrote this post, I mentioned that I wasn't thinking much about my birthday because my mind was on other things.  I do still feel a little preoccupied this year, but for different reasons.  Regardless, to anyone who is about to or who has a spouse who is about to complete the match process for med school, I am very sympathetic because this time of year is so tough.

Moving on, I put together this list for my family.  I don't expect my readers to buy me presents, though you certainly can.  I share this list here because I think that it's interesting to see what my own favorite bloggers like to buy (or browse) on Etsy.  Enjoy!

Where else I linked up today:

Friday Feature: Breast Cancer Awareness

As an honorary Etsy Angels member this month to raise money for breast cancer research, I felt that I had to dedicate one of my weekly features to pink items for breast cancer awareness.  I am donating 15% of the proceeds from all of the items in my THINK PINK section to the American Cancer Association this month.  There are many shops on Etsy with think pink items and special think pink promotions this month.  Here are just a few of them.  If anyone here is doing a promotion that I didn't mention, please let me know so I can add your information.


Sharla is donating 25% of the sales from her Think Pink section and 10% of the sales in the rest of her shop.
