Avocados are Amazing - an Etsy Treasury

As most of you probably know, I'm a bit of an avocado addict. I hardly ever go a day without eating half an avocado. Me and my bestie love avocados so much that she made her own avocado skirt and a matching avocado bag for me.

So, I decided it's time I combine my avocado addiction with my love of Etsy and create an avocado based treasury. It's amazing how many quality avocado themed items I found on Etsy, it was hard to narrow it down to 9 of my favs.

1. Paradise Beads / 2. Harp & Thistle / 3. Undercover Quilts / 4. Jewellery L and MM / 5. fwirl / 6. Hair by Creation / 7. Celentano Woodworks  / 8. Godivas Jewelry Box / 9. show me your nails

A big thank you to Claire from Dreams Are Necessary for suggesting the Avocado Nail stickers! I blame Claire if I spend all my money on Avocado themed Etsy goodies.

Ginge Russian Dolls

Ginge is one of my best friends in the whole world, so I figured it's about time I made her some Russian Dolls! She already kind of looks like a mermaid so I wanted to include her as part of my mermaid series. She's also a fellow avocado enthusiast so I couldn't resist fitting some little avocados in the design! Ginge is also a science geek, so I thought some geeky glasses would fit in well with the theme.

Check out Ginge's Instagram & Etsy. She does amazing doggy portraits.
