I was cruising around Etsy yesterday and came across these adorable mini cutting boards by AHeirloom. Handcrafted from bamboo, you can even request that your city be marked by way of a little cut-out star or heart. Pretty cute, huh?
Hear Ye, all Thersians, it’s summer SALE time!
In an effort to clean out my Etsy shop by the end of summer (need to make room for new Fall and Holiday items!), I’m having a summer sale on all drawings and paintings. Since I’m getting married mid-August, I’d like to try and have things cleaned out by the end of July. Here are some of the details:
**All original drawings, now $35 or 3/$90
**All paintings $50-150 off original price

Death & Texas creates handcrafted bags, accessories, and leather goods out of their waterfront studios in Brooklyn, NY. They also create the most perfect weekend bag called, quite perfectly, The Weekend Bag. Buy it on their Etsy site HERE.
I just saw these Felt Ball Rugs featured over on Etsy and thought they were adorable. They kind of remind me of the woven rag rugs we have around the house (which I love), but these by Krita are much more fun and quirky!
I am a big sucker for sheds, especially ones with whitewashed interiors. When I get rich I am gonna build a pile of them, a shed town. It seems like these always come along speaking British, this one is from the UK as well as the one that we posted about last year. This shed is belongs to the jeweler and shedworker Artiemis Russell. I think we need to start importing these. via shedworking and Artiemis Russell’s flickr stream.
I was scanning through Etsy today and saw these beautiful pieces created by Louise Broad. Very pretty & very springtime, but they also have a little Norma Desmond via Sunset Boulevard thing to them that I just love.
Who would have thought that lingerie inspired by a horror movie could be so cute? Hopeless’ new line of very sweet and vintage looking undergarments were inspired by Spielberg’s Jaws, more specifically, “sharks teeth, the blood in the ocean and the waves of the sea”. Fingers crossed she soon starts making bathing suits as well.

I ran across these paper & resin animal head sculptures on Etsy and thought they were really cute. Created by artist/illustrator, Jennifer Khoshbin, you can see more at her Etsy shop HERE.
Ahh, the XBOX. I have a love/hate relationship with ours. On the one hand, it provides a great babysitting service when I’m really busy and Wes is bored. I think it’s great that he can “virtually hang out” with my brother and BFF, who both live in Chicago.
The problems start occurring when he’s playing Halo and insists on not only wearing his headset, but also having the volume way up on the TV.. turning it into a foul-mouthed projection device, where all I can hear is swearing (my mother reads this blog so I won’t elaborate) and yelling, “I’m in the Sword Room!”, “I’ve got the Ghost!” and my personal favorite, “Hey, (fill in teammates name here) where you at?!”
Anyway, for my own personal entertainment, I would love to one day pull a little lift & switch with Wes’ controller, and replace it with this soap replica (which, btw, is Mountain Dew scented) I’m sure the look on his face would be priceless.
These letterpress dice prints by Stukenborg are so lovely! I have an empty wall in my studio that is begging for a couple of these..
See more on his Etsy shop HERE.
I’m partial to large, whimsical accessories of any sort, so when I came across Jennifer Loiselle’s headbands, I had to order one. They’re kind of like a circus, Star Wars, the 50′s pillbox hat, and Minnie Mouse all in one.
I would really love if I walked into a party and all the girls were wearing these.. how fun would that be?
Terrariums seem to be popping up websites and blogs everywhere and I have to say, it’s really one trend won’t ever get sick of. I’m a huge fan. Anyway, I really like these from LBrandt.. they’re a little different, a little SciFi.
