Kitsch time!

Really, what's not to love about wonderful kitschy things? It always brings a smile to my face to see a pair of pink flamingos in someone's yard or a little old lady rockin' a blue beehive like it was 1962. My favorite kitschy place to visit on the web is LaLa Land.




I promise you, your head will explode from all of the fabulously tacky things. And she even has a shop devoted to all things Kitsch! And something else that makes her equally awesome; she loves Blythe dolls as much as I do.

And in my quest to bring more funky, retro items to the world, I've made these two new sets of gift tags for my etsy shop.






Two sides of rad-ness!

Small update today & sale

I relisted my black Swarovski bow necklace today. I also added a new bracelet.




I'm having a sale on my stickers at the moment. They are usually priced anywhere from $3 to $5. Now they are on sale for $1.75 to $3.00! Go check them out!

Just a few things...

I updated the shop yesterday with a few new tags and sticker sheets. Sales have been really slow. I haven't sold anything in 5 days even though I've had two batches of updates. Any advice on how to get more sales? I'm trying to promote as much as possible on etsy forums, flickr, and the blog. I've also included my site in some search engines. I still only seem to get about 20 views a day! Everyone keeps saying to give it time and the sales will come. I just hope they're right!!

And so this isn't a text only post, here's a few photos.



Mmmmm... these look good enough to eat!

Antique Cell Phone Charms

I found these wonderful antique style metal charms and thought they would be perfect for cell phone charms. I've uploaded these to etsy today






I've got more styles of these charms so if these sell I will definitely be posting more!

Felted Wrist Corset!

I began knitting about a year ago and still consider myself kind of an amateur. I can't do amazing color work or shaping like some people, but I am always trying to learn new things and improve. I was watching the Olympics the other night and felt the need to knit. I just casted on without anything in mind and this is what I came up with.






I am just beside myself. Even though it's very simple, I think it's totally cool.

Big etsy update

Whew, my hands really hurt after all of that typing and uploading on etsy! I spent most of today crafting and trying to add more diversity to my shop. I am really pleased with the gift tags I made!


Heart Stamped Tags - Maybe it's because I am reading the Twilight Saga that these came about...


Stamped Bird Gift Tags - I really love these stamps and so glad to finally put them to use!


Princess Crown Gift Tags


Retro Owl Gift Tags - Another great stamp!


Fairy Tale Gift Tags - These remind me of a faraway place once upon a time!

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! I struggled with how to price these as most people won't pay a lot of money for gift tags but a lot of work went in to them. Hopefully they are reasonable and will sell!

Tropic Thunder

Joe and I went to see Tropic Thunder today. Within the first five minutes I was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down my face. It got a little long in the middle, but by the end it picked up the pace and became even more hilarious! The end scene with Ben Stiller and the child had me and Joe in hysterics. And the funnest part about the whole thing... we were the only ones in the theater laughing! This has only happened to us one other time when we saw Team America. There were also two older women who walked out of the movie. I wonder what they thought it was going to be? A serious war movie, perhaps?

In crafting news, I made some new cell phone charms and listed them in my shop
