After a week of kitten, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming.
I cleaned up the bookmarks on my laptop and found a bunch of random things from etsy and figured they were worth a share:
Homako – These would be an easy diy with felt scraps, some sort of backing and felt glue.
Silvia66 – I know it’s getting hot but this is also an easy diy. I mean, it’s chunky un-knitted yarn!
AudraJean – I really want a harness to dress up a boring tank this summer.$89
Debbie Carlos – giant poster prints done on architectural printers. I’ve used them before and the finish and large format is so much fun! $50
Kiva Ford – the teeniest hand blown glass pieces!
High Street Vintage – affordable little prints from vintage sources
and a shout out to the lovely Katie of Mitu Vintage who takes great care in finding beautiful vintage goods- washing, repairing and researching ! Follow her fun personal blog, twitter and check out her etsy shop!
Who’s your favorite etsy seller? Do you have a shop of your own?
These are my favorite vases for flower arrangements. They date from the 40s to the 60s and they’re pretty cheap and easy to find on eBay. Here’s some history on the company.

These are from Anchor Hocking’s art deco inspired Fire King line. Technically, they’re oven-safe!
From wiki: “Fire-King was originally produced in the 1940s for everyday use, rather than display. It was often sold in bags of flour as a promotional item or was given away at gas stations. Fire-King could also be purchased at local grocery and hardware stores.”

I have a few and they sit in a tall windowsill in the hallway when not in use, with my other colored glass.
I just discovered this online store called Uncommon Goods. Being lazy last night, I looked at just about everything on the site and found a few gems. Most of the stuff is not my style but here are some interesting items I wouldn’t mind having if money were no object. None of these things are exclusive to the site so, you may be able to do some digging on Amazon and find them cheaper.
