scoop

It's been a while since I've posted about some cool finds from ETSY. Here are a few things I've gathered as gifts for birthdays and Christmas. Shop now and scoop up some terrific artsy items for your loved ones. Maybe you'll find something (like lists of somethings) you can suggest to Santa for yourself.

LOVE these little plates. They are 3-1/2" inches and Caroline packs them so beautifully. Visit PalomasNest to find a message that speaks to you or have one custom made. And look at these lovelies from DGordon. She has a clever thing going on – I can't wait to send!

My wish list from DownToTheWireDesigns is long. Santa, are you listening?

And check out these earrings from SmilingSoul2 and Gingeroni1. Pretty earrings make you feel pretty don't you think? Such yummy beads. Browse both of their shops.

Someday I may learn to knit and felt, but for now I appreciate being able to buy handmades from others. How about these roses! I bought a red one to pin to my beret. I think I need to go back for a pink one too. Check out GoldiesKnits.

SCOOP of another kind…. Judi discovered this Depp photo which was leaked earlier this week. A few sites have removed the image so I may be in trouble for posting this. I was hoping Burton's Mad Hatter might look like V.V. I'm just relieved it isn't Wonka-like, as in the Burton-Depp-Wonka. It almost looks Wilder-Wonka-like.

Anyone see Twilight at midnight? Me neither, but it's on the agenda for the weekend. A quick look at the soundtrack: no HIM. What were they thinking? Come on, at least use Vampire Heart.

Mad Hatter, yes. Vampire, yes. Hippo, what? I have been watching this trailer with great amusement. Check out Moto Moto, the large male hippo. You HIM fans have probably already seen it.

Ever the chameleon, tomorrow he's a birthday boy (32).

And congrats to Ingrid Dijkers for being the Top Hat pick for Crusade No. 24. We're playing with gesso now. Lots of cool stuff being shared by the teamers. Come see.

*launches etsy*

After being a fan and supporter of ETSY for some time now, I’ve finally launched my own shop! I’m starting out by selling the remaining Marie Antoinette unmounted rubber stamp sets that were created for the collaborative project you read about HERE. Before I was even able to get this post up some of them sold. I have more to load tomorrow, and then will be working on painted canvases and maybe some other cool stuff to sell as I get the hang of this new thing. If you haven’t been to ETSY, scoot over there now and check out all the wonderful handcrafted goodies. See my link, upper right.

If you subscribe to Stampington’s Post Script you can enter to win one of these sets too (by May 25th.)

W.O.W.

More roses. EB had a photo on her blog that reminded me of these pretties (actually it’s on her banner now but she changes it all the time so you might miss it). My grandfather, whose name we borrowed for our daughter Fallon, and affectionately called Bumpa, had these in his safe deposit box for years as they are silver, even the food-touching part. He and my grandmother gave them to me – probably because I was the first to get married, and became a "W". My silver chest is an eclectic collection of monogrammed silver from both sides of my family, in addition to pieces added from friends, and others found in dusty shops, brought home and shined up. I cave for anything with "M" or "W". I love setting the table with all the various pieces – reminds me of all my loved ones.

Some messing around with Photoshop. Fun to try out the different options. I’ve printed some of these on transparency to put in my journal, and will write down the stories behind each silver pattern and engraving.

Speaking of "M"s, scored this custom necklace from ETSY. It is the coolest bezel I have ever seen on a typewriter letter. Love when an artist finds a way to Make It Your Own. And these tags rock too.

Visit Elizabeth’s shop for all the cool stuff she makes with typewriter keys, watchparts, and….well, just go to KeysandMemories.etsy.com And then pop over to see Kelly, and scoop up several batches of wonderful patterned die-cut doo-dahs for your journal at The Paper Pixie.

The scene from here…..no school today! I have the new Somerset Studio, the March Vogue (over one inch thick!), the Oscar Special Vanity Fair, and Illusive 2 (I’ve already listed 30 sites to visit from this book!) Who needs food?

i crack myself up

Last February I had a DUH-moment as I was chomping away on candy hearts and reading the messages. You have to eat quite a few bags to collect this many LOVE HIMs. Fast forward to last week – I was tooling around on ETSY, as I like to do, and saw the photo below (on the left).

Duh! I had to order a custom pendant. HAD TO. So I placed an order with Shannon @ rubygirl, HERE. "LOVE HIM" arrived yesterday. I knew she must be thinking that it was to honor my husband, or maybe the Lord, but I’ll bet she didn’t expect that it was about a band. Love all of them – him, Him, and HIM.

And love this! Thanks Shannon.

Love at my Door

First, some more ETSY love. Gosh I adore that place. It’s so cool to see artists making and selling their heartfelt creations. It’s like having an indie boutique down the street. First up: Art and Ghosts. The masked girl on the right has arrived from England. Just charming. Check her out.

Next, Julie @ Puffluna. HAD to have that red rose ring. I see she is now selling black and amber too. Might need one for every finger. Check her out….maybe a Valentine gift to yourself?

And then I found these cameos and cabochons from Robin at A2Z Designs….supplies for your heart art??

And last for today, Nicole’s custom die-cut paper shop HERE. Yes, you’re onto me….I’m going to use them as masks. I know what you’re thinking: Better go get some for yourself.

And more lovin’ at my door….from Susan Warder, who blew me away with her clever heart stencil on the envelope, mimicking the postage stamp. And what a delightful surprise to open and see a stencil she cut for me. THIS ROCKS! Thanks Susan!

More cool stuff from some love-spreaders who Get me. I’m such a lucky girl. And Faye, my mail carrier, gets a kick out of delivering the goods.

And a last thought for the day. We are heading off to a comedy club for dinner and a performance as a fundraiser for a family we love who lost their son this year. He battled cancer and was finally C-free but was taken by the angels in April. I cannot begin to imagine their pain….but applaud them for moving forward by establishing a foundation that will do good things in Sean’s name, and to do so with an event where we can all bury sadness for a breif moment, and laugh together.

Laughter, the best medicine. Write your own Rx as needed.
