For some unknown reason, February 29th is fascinating to me. I love when babies are born on February 29th. I love when people get married on February 29th. That four year anniversary thing is just so delightfully quirky it just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. So in honor of Leap Year Day this year, I figured I'd try to find some leaping goodness on Etsy.com to share with you. Here goes!
First of all, I will say there seem to be tons and tons of sales going on today so HURRY on over to Etsy and get some deals! Actually, now that I'm searching for "leap" etc. all I'm finding are things that are on sale for Leap Year Day so I'm having a hard time finding some consistencies to post about. So I'm going to make the executive decision to search for frogs. They leap. It's a totally appropriate topic! If some of them manage to be Leap Year Frogs then so be it, but they won't all be. Anyway, here goes redux!
Cost: $3.50
Shop: Shut Up And Fold
The year before last I purchased an Origami-a-day calendar in an attempt to learn how to do origami. Boy was that an Epic Fail! I admire and applaud anyone who can fold paper like a ninja! Especially into leaping, froggy, goodness. For $3.50 you get 6 magical frogs, it really doesn't get any better than that. *happy sigh*
Cost: $25
Shop: Maya Hum
This was the first item I found on my search this evening and it's frickin' darling. This seller opened her shop this year and doesn't seem to have much for sale but I like her style. Every piece has a soft glow to it. Very pleasant stuff!
Cost: $25
Shop: The Iron Phoenix
This is pretty sweet! So is everything else in her shop. I'm in love with Unii the Small Steel Unicorn and the Umbrella Monkey. But seriously, is there any day in the year that would be more appropriate to purchase a Leaping Horseshoe Frog lawn ornament than Leap Year Day? I think not!
Cost: $8
Shop: Mulberry Moose
Ooh! This little guy is so cute. I want to kiss him on his teeny, tiny, smirking mouth. PS, check out the cephalopods in her shop, they're equally adorable.
Cost: $7.50
Shop: Frog Prince Paperie
Last but not least, an assortment of paper goods to help you celebrate Leap Year Day in green, froggy, style!
Well folks, I'm pretty tired (I'm currently recovering from the flu [The Boyfriend and I both had the flu this Valentine's Day--yeah, that was loads of fun, pfft!]), and a sinus infection) so I'm going to call it a day for now. Thanks for reading!
