May is named for the Greek goddess Maia, eldest of the seven Pleiades and mother of Hermes. In Greek, Maia also means midwife. In Roman mythology, Maia is associated with growth and fertility. So this month's round-up of Etsy finds celebrates all of those, in pretty...
Time for pretty things from Etsy! I have two lovely collections again for you this month. And no, they are not Easter-themed (I'm so sick of seeing bunnies and carrots and eggs everywhere). One is all about April showers (which hopefully bring May flowers) - fitting...
Time for another Etsy round-up! I love making treasuries on Etsy, so these posts are always fun to put together. I've got two for you this month, take a look: Martial MarchMarch is named for Mars, the Roman god of war (Ares in the Greek pantheon - not to be confused...
Time for fun and beautiful finds this month on Etsy! I've got two round-ups for you this time. One is a tribute to the name of the month, February, which comes from the name of a Roman purification ritual held this time of year. The other is a tribute to the folk art...

Technically there's still another week before true autumn starts, though here in Texas we'll have at least another month or so of summer weather. That doesn't mean I can't start thinking about fall, right? Right. Accordingly, this month's Etsy round-up features some...
