Back to School Miss Eileen’s Etsy Finds 8.26.11

Morning everyone! It’s time for Miss Eileen’s Etsy Picks for the week of 8/26/2011. With all the talk of Hurricane Irene I need something to distract me a bit and I can’t think of anything better than looking through Etsy. Are the kids back in school now? Getting ready? My first day of 1st grade was delayed by a hurricane. Looks like a few other kids will have their first day delayed, too.

Here’s my picks for the week:

Custom Back to School on the Yellow Bus Pillowcase Dress 6/9M-5T by Autumn Rose Boutique

What a cute dress! Just right for the first day of school!

Back to School lunchbox notes with Dainty Bumble Bee I love these. A wonderful way to let your child know you are thinking of him or her during the day. My husband puts notes in my lunchbox now and each one puts a smile on my face.

Funky Leather Journal Medium Size from Christine Marie Ford Older children are going back to school, too, not just the little ones. Going to new schools and away from home is exciting and scary, too. Lots of emotions happening at once. A journal is a good way to harness some of those emotions, and good to look at later.

Shark Backpack by Heavenly Creatures Art Almost all children carry backpacks nowadays and a shark backpack is so cool for cool boys.

ipad 2 case, ipad case, Kindle DX, padded in Michael Miller “dandy damask" by MoBoogie Lovely way to protect that I Pad or Kindle.

Large Personalized Piggy Bank College Fund by J Davis Squared

Let’s face it, it’s never too early to start saving for college. Here’s a good way to keep the interest going.

Back to School Headband by Baby Bow Bling Things So many schools require uniforms today. Having a headband that matches the uniform attractively and keeps hair under control…..wow!
