I should be studying

Ok! I haven't blogged in a while. Life has been pretty crazy for the last week or two, for various reasons... one of them being a sudden unexpected living arrangement change.
I have come to realize that I have an etsy problem. If you don't know what etsy is, all I have to say is- You need to appreciate some earnest handicraft once in a while!
The main thing is that I go on etsy and just window shop... for long long periods of time. Because there are literally thousands of incredible things, ranging from works of art to handmade metal bras to lightweight reusable bags for your bulk foods.

For those who were surprised by the handmade metal bras comment:

Yep, I wasn't lying. If you thought this was morbidly fascinating and curiously intriguing at the same time here's another, that I won't post but you can peruse: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22893385

Because it's awesome in a painful sort of way

Anyway, my favourites list has 42 pages. There are 20 items on each page, and I did the pitiful math.. but I won't tell you. Of course if you can multiply it's not a secret. But I find the greatest things! Such as these turtle coasters and this garden gnome:


From dancingintherain and MoonstyandFloonsty, respectively.


Or Doughnut soap from soapapotamus.

These things all make me smile :)

Maybe I will start a semi weekly etsy find on this blog, just for kicks, and because I'll feel somewhat useful when I windowshop for exorbitant amounts of time on etsy!
