Everybody lies

Yes, I have become a bit obsessed with etsy lately. It’s amazing how much time one can spend there and how many interesting things pop up on random travels through the site. Today I’d like to showcase not etsy shops per sé, but random items that have caught my eye.

Some of the shops that sell them have lots of interesting other stuff on offer, others less so. Some of the items will probably be sold out by the time I publish this post, but since I can’t afford to buy most of them anyway, I don’t really care.

1. Figured Black Walnut Blanket Chest from PCwoodcraftandPens

As usual with these things: far outside my price range, but oh so beautiful.

2. Ants On My Cup and Saucer from baileydoesntbark

Honestly, I don’t know if I could actually drink anything from that cup. But I love the idea. And the shop’s name just makes me smile.

3. GLASS beads …Out of space from Sunyno

Don’t ask me what I would use them for. I haven’t got a clue. I just like shiny things.

4. Rustic Hearts Earrings from ktksilver

5. Realistic ceramic miner human skull from mudpuppy

All right, this is the one item that might actually tempt me to buy. I collect animal skulls and a human is still missing from my collection. And since the chances of getting my hands on a real one are slim, this thing would be the next best choice.

6. Nest Necklace in Antiqued Sterling Silver from bedhead

7. Once Upon A Time Moonstruck Locket from birdzNbeez

8. Large Fancy Heart from kathryncole

9. Let the sun shine in Poster from slidesideways

This would look awesome above my desk, right beside the window. It’s either that one or one of those “Keep Calm and Carry On” things. Then again, there are 2 free spaces on the wall on either side of the window, so I might as well get both.

10. Dark Love from redheart13

11. Sweet Rose Ruby Corduroy Messenger Bag from pongobaby

No, I don’t have a baby suddenly, nor do I plan to get pregnant anytime soon (or, like, ever). And my general aversion to all things pink is as strong as ever. But this bag would be perfect for my laptop. And, yes, I love the color.

12. Striped Fingerless Gloves from Morrgan

These are actually not the pair I wanted. She used to have them in a deep, dark red that looked awesome, but apparently they are sold out.

13. Tainted Love Necklace from beautifulbead

I swear, I have no idea what it is with all the hearts. I just noticed how friggin’ many of them I have bookmarked when I was writing this post. As far as I am aware I’m not in love, and even if I was I wouldn’t necessarily wear a heart-shaped pendant. I just think they all look so very pretty…
