101. FRONT PAGE!?!

So an item from my shop finally made it to the FP on Etsy. It was at about 5 AM my time, so I didn't see it in person, but I got a screencap!

It was a beautiful treasury and I am so proud! Also, the peacock sold! Great news all around!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Don't forget to check out my giveaway! Happy weekend!

099. baby's second and third treasuries!

My second and third treasuries! I'm so excited because they are gorgeous. Check them out here and here.

098. etsy shop update 6/12.

Happy Saturday! It's a bit rainy and grey here in Central Jersey, so our plans to have another yard sale today are ruined. I won't let that bring me down though! I've got a new tripod, a freshly charged camera battery, and unlimited amounts of coffee. Today, I will see a lot of Etsy and Ebay listing form pages, and I'm excited for it. I really need to get rid of most of my things. I just have too much and no need for most of it. Also, I want to be able to afford a home in the next five years, and every little bit helps, right? Check out the new items in my Etsy shop below. And tell your friends! ;)

097. cigarette pack novels.

I saw this on Twitter this morning. Pretty great idea, I think.

When you order Tank Books' new set of classic novels, they arrive in classic flip-flop style cigarette packs, wrapped in foil and in sealed cellophane wrapping. If you order all six—featuring works by Conrad, Hemingway, Kafka, Kipling, Stevenson and Tolstoy—they come in a stylish tobacco tin (pictured). Another great argument for the book as beautiful object, rather than binary data stream. (DesignYouTrust)

096. got 42 seconds to spare?

A combination of "Newsies" and Gaga. Does it get better than this?
