things i love

felicia day, the guild, and jed whedon. all together!

you need to watch the guild.

my dad

father’s day is 6 september in australia and new zealand (and maybe a few other countries as well). i have a couple of father’s day cards for sale in my etsy store.

spoon

which is why i’ve re-branded my etsy store, to smallstakes.etsy.com. the name comes from one of my favourite spoon songs, small stakes.

sunshine

which is rather convenient, because spring is most definitely on its way.

i scored myself a new treasury west tonight, something i haven’t done in a long time.

it features purple and yellow items from the wonderfully talented Aussie DUSTers team. Please click and comment, if you can! http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=59752

mother’s day cards

shan — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 02:27:45 +0000

just a quick post to say that i’ve only got a couple of my mother’s day cards left in my etsy store. i’ll be adding some more tonight and tomorrow, but not sure how many more i’ll have after that.

wednesday want: clutches

shan — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 01:42:47 +0000

i have a rather large collection of clutches and purses. they’re just so practical and versatile. who wants a big heavy big when you can take just the bare essentials? plus, when you go out for dinner it just fits right on the table, instead of trying to keep it safe between your feet.

treasury!

shan — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 05:21:53 +0000

by pure luck, i saw someone in the etsy forums say that treasury was open in 1 minute, so i thought i’d give it a shot.

i made this: autumn afternoons. cause, dammit, not everyone is going into spring. it breaks my heart a little to see all the gorgeous colours and fashions all over etsy at the moment, while we’re about to head into the cold.

etsy favourites

@etsy: Project: Make an Etsy Mini as a blog post using your favorites, tweet the link so I can peek tomorrow.

i add multitudes of new favourites almost every day.

it’s a good mix of things i love and plan on buying one day, things i love and simply can’t afford, things i want to remember later on, and things i just love to look at. i’m actually surprised by how often i find myself going through my favourites, it happens quite regularly.

how very decadent.

i’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time on etsy lately, and as a result i’m spending an even more ridiculous amount of time thinking about interior decorating. i’m still stuck in rent land with my unpainted walls and forbidden hooks, so at the moment it’s nothing but a dream.

my cancerian horoscope analysis has always mentioned being very strongly tied to the home, and it’s not something i’ve ever really paid attention to, but now i’m just MUST BE SURROUNDED BY PRETTY THINGS RIGHT NOW.

#1 on my wishlist is having a chandelier in my bathroom. my current rented bathroom doesn’t even have two full-size doors*, so a chandelier is a little out of the question. but isn’t this just the most ridiculously self-indulgent thing you could possibly do? i love it.

from apartment therapy:

*my bathroom doors are western style saloon doors. they swing, and only cover the torso. i’m not even making this up.
