I Heart Them: Dahlia in Bloom, Beesocks, & Botene

I think I mentioned that my last Literati eReader broke.  Not because I dropped it or anything, I just opened it up on my road trip to find a broken, sad looking screen.  I was DEVASTATED!  I LOVE my eReader!  I was in the middle of 3 books and suddenly I didn't have anything to read on our 10+ hour road trip.  I didn't want to buy any books, I kept hoping that my eReader could be saved, but it couldn't.  It died. 

I obviously had planned to replace it but I didn't want to think about purchasing a new one and if I did, did I want a simple eReader or did I want a tablet?  There were many decisions to be made.  When it finally came down to it, I was pretty sure I wanted a Nook eReader because my Mom has a Nook Color and loves it.  Also - we'd be able to share books, or so I'm told we could.  So we went to Barnes and Noble and I sat and played with them for a while, completely set on getting the basic eReader - the one they were telling me that they were phasing out.

And I kept coming back to the Nook Simple Touch.  Apparently it has the longest battery life - ever.  Also, it's a touch screen.  And it's so compact!  I can literally stash it in my purse!  Its not very heavy either.

So I walked out with the Nook Simple Touch!  Hooray!  This weekend I learned how to upload my previously purchased books onto it and continued reading!  I'm so happy!

 I also came out with this cute cover as well:

But then it got me thinking...what other cute eReader covers are out there for me to maybe one day purchase?

And of course, Etsy delivered:

The first shop I found was Botene:

I also found another shop called Dahlia in Bloom!

Dahlia in Bloom is based out of Castle Rock, Colorado.  Which is awesome because I have some family there!  They specialize in...whatever you'd like to cover!  The great thing about this shop is that you can send them dimensions of what you'd like to cover and they do it!  Sweet!

Here are some examples:

Cute!!  I love the style and the patterns she uses too!  If you'd like to take a peek, click here.

I like the fact that these are padded cases too.  If anyone knows the importance of keeping their eReader safe and sound, it's me!  You better believe I got the extended warranty!!

Well that's all for today folks - take a look at these shops for awesome products for your favorite electronic devices!!
