It's own hook

My closet hooks love bags as much as I do. I think my husband is getting sick of me telling him "a girl can never have to many bags".... or shoes as far as I'm concerned! And I'm sure all our female readers will agree with me;) I just got this Patapata Shoulder Bag from Yokomono & it is my absolute favorite! This bag is so well made & I love the funky chocolate print. It's stylish design is fresh and sassy but not to trendy for my simple side. Did I mention they have a wallet to match? Yeah, that's next on my list;)
This is so cool, we have one to giveaway to one of you!

Was it that long ago?

Man, I loved Dottie from the Rockford Peaches! Yes, A League of Their Own
is another movie that has gone down in the book for being one of my all time favorite shows. I was 12 when it came out & I remember thinking how cool the women were, taking over for the men & doing what they had to do. The gals at Vintage Blue have dedicated their eco-friendly clothing to the real women who played for the All American Baseball League between 1943-1954. Their vintage tee's are incredibly soft and of course feature all the players from the Rockford Peaches. So whether you're strong like Dottie or maybe a little more like "Betty Spaghetti", you still be able to find your favorite gal:)

A day dreamer

Little Red Stuga has the perfect mobile spot for day dreaming. The Dream Bag. I seriously wish I could take this "comfy poof" to the park for me to lounge on but obviously it's made for the little ones. The perfect flower shape, bold colors and easily folds bag into a pod, making it perfect for carrying on any day trip. Imagine the fun pictures you could take with this. The perfect prop for a black and white photo shoot:)

Same Ol' thing

I don't know about you but I kinda like to have cool things that everyone will notice and ask, "hey we'd you get that?" My awesome family got me a new camera for Christmas, which I love but the strap that comes with it is so plain and boring. Shabby Straps had the solution and I snatched me a couple of their fun camera straps so every time I take out my camera, it will be different! Don't worry you'll still get the same high quality strap, just with a little twist added. Whether you have a SLR, point & shoot or looking for a cozie, check out Shabby Straps and make your camera smile;)
How cool is this? We have 3 straps to giveaway to 3 of our fab readers. Winner will receive one of 3 straps picked by me & I promise they are ALL cool!

To Enter Tell Us...

1. Your Fav Strap @ Shabby Straps!

2. Have you check out ALL our new sponsors? These are the companies that keep Simple Finds run!... Tell us your favorite!

Stop picking

My husband loves candy and unfortunately has passed that craving down the line to my boys. I wore my Red Hots ring that I got from Daisy Chains the other day and my 2 two year old was determined to get it off my finger! He apparently doesn't know red hots candies are HOT! Well these aren't really made of candy but they do look pretty close. I love that they come in some cool colors & then ring band is so thin, from a distance you can't even notice it. All you see is a sweet treat on your finger:) Get over to Daisy Chains and find your favorite eye candy because if you do and leave a comment here on Simple Finds with you favorite item from their shop, you'll be able to purchase it for 30% off! Just mention Simple Finds to them at check out as well.

Full of peculiar illustrations & accumulating friends, by the end of the book the whole family will be reading along. Not to mention the laughter that will take place. But of course, it was the kids rolling around laughing, not me:)

One Eyed Willie

Please tell me you've seen Goonies?! It's only one of the greatest movies from my childhood! Even though this really cool pirate ship from f. is for Frank is named after the movie, I wish I could say it was the first thing that came to mind when I fist saw it. But really I was thinking how excited my son would be to have these on his dresser drawers! Designed and completely made and finished by f. is for Frank, you've got to check out these for the next bedroom makeover. There's tons of themes to choose from, although I'm going with a pirate theme, especially since they have One Eyed Willie in the series:)

"You owe me cookies."

I once had a friend who told me I made the best cookies ever, so of course, that friend quickly became my favorite. Every time I needed something or lost a bet, the response was "you owe me cookies" & I would gratefully whip up a batch. Well it wasn't that long ago that that same friend told me my cookies had been out done by the office secretary! As hard as that was to grasp, I've given up on making the best cookies ever & found someone to make them for me, Christine at Better Bit of Butter. I'm not kidding when I say, one bite and your mouth will be drooling for more. Not only are they delightful to look at but taste divine! So if you're looking to take on the office secretary or maybe trying to make a good impression on Valentines Day, place your order with Better Bit of Butter, guaranteed you'll be the only one to show up with cookies as lovely as these! Oh and to my friend that now owes me cookies, any of these will do;)
We want you to try these out for yourself so we have 8 Lrg. Valentines Day Cookies to be delivered to a lucky Simple Finds winner 2 days before Valentines Day!

Move over scarf

I'm still a fan of scarfs but not so much of all the bulkiness that comes along with them. Kiwi and Company has designed the cowl. Same idea but without the fly away tails that you always have to tuck in with a scarf. Let's just say I fell in love with my cowl immediately! When is arrived & nicely packaged, I quickly had to try it out. It was made so lovely and with the softest wool yarn ever. It doesn't irritate my neck & it's very versatile. I love that I can wear it several different ways... depending on my mood at the moment. This cool Etsy designer is most definitely a favorite! For you talented knitters out there, try out her patterns and make one to fit your own style:)
I love our giveaway today, I'm so jealous that one of you is going to win a pair of Kiwi And Company Short Wrist Hand Warmers! I know very cool, right?!

All tucked in

I can't tell you how many times I've wished for a night of peace in quiet, a hot bath, all snuggled up with my "laptop" by the fire. Yes, unfortunately I don't have a fireplace but it's actually ok because I've found this amazing Karen Neuburger Double Plush Robe. If the words "Double Plush" aren't descriptive enough, just imagine what it would be like wrapped up in a cloud.... now you know why I love this robe some much. So much, that I have a had such a hard time getting ready in the morning because I just don't want to let it go:)

Even the beads

The red glass beads were what first caught my eye on this little number & then I found out Boulder Glass Company also hand makes all the beads used in their design as well. There's a lot of jewelry designers out there, but how many of them can actually say they also make their own materials? Hot Lava is the perfect name for this ring. Not only does it look "hot" but it certainly will flow with your finger;)
