These printable paper dolls from vintage McCall’s magazines aren’t just under $25, they’re free! And how cute. Filing these away for when the girls are old enough to play with them. Or I might just be downloading them to play with myself until then.

A quick glance at the text on these might give you a laugh. “Betsy’s sluggy plaid pullover is cozy and warm. The slim nylon-and-wool pants are washable.” Good to know!

Of course I had to make a Valentine’s edition of Under $25, but just a couple of the items aren’t quite in budget (you can splurge a little on V-Day right?) Everything is definitely love themed, but not too Valentine-y, so you can enjoy them anytime.

Top row, left to right:
$20: Lovely Love My Family print by tuesday mourning. If you buy this print today you get another print from the shop for free! Good deal! The yellow is my favorite but there are lots of color options.
$30: Lenora Love – Limited Edition Valentine’s Day Bear – by sleepyking.
Initial Tiny Heart Necklace by moncadeau. This shop is currently closed, but re-opening with new inventory in early March. I hope they still have these sweet little necklaces. I wouldn’t mind getting three on a strand with an O, Q, and Z.

Bottom row, left to right:
$18: Newborn Baby Hat by Babbidge Patch
$17.50: Owl Love Screenprint by Sass and Peril. I think this print would be particularly sweet in a nursery for twin girls, too.
$20: Folk Heart Onesie by Dutch Door Press . I’ve admired Dutch Door’s paper goods for awhile now and I just love this graphic onesie.

Another item that doesn’t quite fit in the under $25 category but is still beautiful and so worth it (only $28!) is this adorable clutch by my friend Cheyne of Cut Out and Collect. Cheyne’s bags are all handmade with impeccable attention to detail and are super high quality. She’s got a custom diaper bag in the works for me that I can’t wait to see. Snatch up this clutch while you can!

I decided to start posting some of my favorite finds from the land of the internetz now that I have all this time on my hands (I’m officially on bedrest now by orders of real doctors and not just Justin…more on that later). There are so many design blogs out there posting super cute and well designed products but they’re usually ridiculously expensive, so everything I post will be under $25 (maybe a few under $50 posts here and there). First up are a few bright and colorful animal art prints that I think would look lovely in a modern nursery.
