Here's a really fun new theme : Campers! Etsy is crawling with Camper-flavored items within home decor, stationery & accessories. Here are a few of my favorite pieces.
I especially love the piece by Paper Parasol. It might be my stationery obsession talking, but it's a super-cute illustration and such an awesome twist on the anniversary theme!


Last April, Chris and I went down to Austin, Texas for a day, on the way to my Grandpa's 80th birthday party in San Antonio. We had heard about how great the crafty community was and booked a hotel really close to one of their most popular crafty streets. As we were walking up the street we saw a bright silver, old fashioned camper with a HUGE cupcake on top.

It was a mini bakery called Hey Cupcake that only sold a handful of different types of cupcakes. THEY WERE AMAZING. If you're ever in Austin, They're located on the 1600 Block of South Congress. You'll see them set up in what looks like an empty lot - with a couple other food vendors. After you're done with your cupcake, go shopping at some of the cute stores they have nearby!
