I can pass hour upon hour trawling the shops on Etsy wishing I could afford to buy something. Today I have found the most amazing hat ever - now in adult sizes!
look them up here
I am equally in love with the amazing headbands on LovMely.
Fancy headwear really brings an outfit from just being drab and boring
Plus, I do love feathers. They remind me of that AMAZING Burberry Prorsum dress that's been everywhere this season - Helena Christenson is wearing it on the cover of Dansk at the moment and she looks seriously hot.
My last Etsy find of the night is this bag
It's real alligator skin, as far as I can tell, but it's rather lovely anyway. Check the rest of the shop out here

DIRECTIONS With Cup Color, cast on 80. Work in k2 p2 ribbing for 1 row, join in the round and continue k2p2 for 2 inches. Switch to Frosting Color. K one row. Next row, *K1, MN. Repeat until you made one row of nubbles. (40 times, but who wants to count that?) K until entire piece measures 5 1/2 inches. Switch to CC, *knit 8 stitches, place a marker.

With the chunky red, make a pom pom, about 1 inch wide. Whatever looks best on your cupcake.
Weave in loose ends.
Now here's an optional part: With the buttons, you can sew on sprinkles. Spare yarn, you can stitch on jimmies. Same thing with the beads, rhinestones, whatever you like. But if this hat is intended for a child under 2 years of age, DO NOT attach any buttons, or anything that can be pulled off and choked on
