Etsy Haul

I think most of us can agree that we could spend hours on Etsy browsing through thousands of beautifully designed and hand crafted items. I know I can! From homeware to stationary, blogger themes to clothes. I started out on Etsy with the intention of getting the blog planner you'll have seen all over the blogging world but I ended up getting a lot more than intended (it's always the way). I thought I'd share with you a few of the bits I picked up, maybe you'll be inspired to get a few new pieces yourself!




First I chose to get The Day Planner from The Bloggers Planner Co. I've seen so many pictures of these floating around the internet and been lusting after one for so long. Balancing my uni work, job and blogging has proved slightly difficult since I came back to Manchester in September, so I think having this will prove really helpful when it comes to organising and scheduling content. The shop also lets you have your own quote printed on the front if you're not as interested in the one offered. The planner has a day to a page so there's plenty of space to write down everything you need to do for that day, with spaces for to do lists and scheduling. There's then a space at the end of every month for notes, followed by an inspirational quote to begin the next month. I can't wait to start using this! Considering I wanted a personalised quote for this and it ships from Germany, this came so quickly. I would definitely recommend one of these to all you bloggers out there looking to get organised.

Next I was on the hunt for a new pencil case. I currently use one from Paperchase which I love but for carrying to and from university every day it's rather bulky, I wanted something a bit smaller that I could just put a few essentials in. That's when I stumbled across this marble and copper pencil case by RennaDeluxe. I can't even begin to explain how perfect this is, it combined my love of everything marble and copper in a simple but really chic design. This for me personally wouldn't be big enough to carry my makeup but it's the perfect size for carrying all your essential stationary supplies to university or school, It's also lined so you don't have to worry about any ink leaking from pens and spoiling the pretty marble print exterior. This came all the way from Germany but was delivered so quickly and is exactly what I was expecting. If like me you love marble and copper, this is the pencil case for you!

And finally the pencils. I never thought I could get so excited about pencils but how could I resist these? I bought two sets from Dottie Rocks and they're so pretty! The shop has a huge selection of engraved pencils in a range of colours (and also some really pretty foil prints), it was so hard to pick just two but in the end I settled on a Mean Girls quote set and a "What Would Blair Waldorf do?" set. Because who doesn't love Mean Girls and Blair Waldorf is and always will be Queen B. I don't even want to use these, they look so pretty on my desk! These were delivered very promptly and came beautifully packaged. I definitely recommend checking out her shop, I think these sets are perfect little stocking fillers or birthday presents!

What do you think of my purchases? Will you be picking up and bits from Etsy?
