Meet The Finches - I'm Ella

HEY-OH!

So glad you made your way over to FinchFound!  I guess it is my turn to introduce myself as the other half of Finch. My name is Ella, and there is a small chance I am addicted to searching the Internet for beautiful, modern, high-quality items with a focus on things that I can afford *cough* which isn’t much *cough*.  

I am a San Diego native, married, and have a beast of a baby named Wes, AKA the WASmanian devil.  He is wild.

Well, what do you know, this is us! 

Sup?

That was then, when the beast was little and manageable.

This is now:

Yeah.

By day I take pictures for people, at night I hunt the Internet for fantastic items that I want to own. I am a consumer but where I run into a hurdle is, I care about what I buy and I care about what it looks like.  I don’t want to have the exact same (for example) nursery that everyone else has; I like unique items. I love buying from smaller companies when I can and I love, love, love fun, fresh, and modern designs.

This is the beast's room right before he was born. (We didn’t quite get the chance to finish up before he was born - the mattress and storage baskets came after the baby):

So what am I coveting for the Beast right now?

Well,

This, for one!

I Am Here - Your Neighborhood Custom Play Mat by Board Stiff

A customizable play mat.  So perfect for our small living space.  We don’t have the room for one of those amazing play rugs but we do have room to store a rolled up play mat. 

 Organic Toy Cars by Smiling Tree Toys

Wooden toy cars, of all kinds. How cute is that wooden milk truck hiding in the back? These are right up my alley.  Perfect for small hands to hold on to.

And for me? 

Waves And Sand Fabric Flower Rosette Necklace by Sweet Apple 30

A bright fun necklace. It would match my closet of boring black shirts and possibly hide a few spit up stains in the process. WIN!

I know you have something amazing that you are coveting, I shared mine - you should share yours. I can’t wait to see!

So fun finding your blog! I have two little beasts and share your addiction to high quality, one of a kind, affordable treasures (hard being a mom with good taste and a budget, huh?).

Thanks so much for showing off my necklace and please come back to the shop anytime!

Dana
