• Best of Etsy: Circa Ceramics to The Intuitive Garden

  [$40, Etsy] This bowl by Circa Ceramics is "modeled after the traditionally shaped bowls of yesteryear," but it's so pretty I can't imagine actually using it as a real mixing bowl. It would, however, look beautiful on a table top with a few lemons! More great Etsy finds after the jump.    Read More...

• Best of Etsy: From Dandy Tree to Modern Charm

  [$30, Etsy] I love the beautiful images at DandyTree, like this one. Even cooler, the images are available in jewelry form, too. More Etsy finds after the jump.   Read More... Posted Mar 20 2008, 02:00 PM by Wendy Atterberry with | with no comments Filed under: Best of Etsy

• Retro Arcade: Punch-Out Scarf

  [$175, $75, Etsy] How better to stay warm than with Little Mac and the original ear biter himself? Etsy user Beatboxtaun has created a one of kind Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out scarf for the Nintendo lover in all of us. And if I had almost $200 to spend on a scarf, I would grab this in an instant. Luckily, I'm a magnanimous sort, and will leave it for you, the Materialista, to purchase. Not a Punch-Out Fan? There's a scarf for you, too, after the jump...  Read More...

• Best of Etsy: From Birds 'n Vines to Shrinky Dink Jewelry

  Living with my boyfriend is great—my freezer is no longer filled with microwave meals I'll eat alone in front of the TV, for example, and I have someone who'll run out and get the paper and coffee for me on Sunday mornings. But there are trade-offs, of course. The biggest one is I can't just decorate how ever I please anymore. I have to consider that a boy lives in the apartment and the decor should reflect that, which means I guess I'll have to pass on this super cute Birds 'n Vines pillow, which is a shame since it looks like a Dwell pillow at a fraction the price.  [$35, Etsy]  More awesome Etsy finds after the jump.   Read More...

• Best of Etsy: From Tiny Meat to Resin Rings

  Now I don't want to brag--okay, well, maybe I do just a little--but I'm going to China this summer! My boyfriend's going to Beijing in August to cover the Olympics and I managed to convice him it'd be a great idea if I tag along. So now I'm in the process of of getting a visa--and yes, bragging to everyone I know or don't know--and I figure I might as well get a cool passport case while I'm at it. I'm sure when I'm wearing the same three outfits for three weeks straight because I could only check one bag on the plane, knowing I have a cool passport case will make all the difference. Anyway, I love the cases and wallets from Tiny Meat at Etsy.   Read More... Posted Feb 19 2008, 04:00 PM by Wendy Atterberry with | with no comments Filed under: Best of Etsy, art, Jewelry

• Retro Arcade: Pac-Man Coasters!

  For those of you who refer to vitamins as “power pellets,” and whisper “bonus points” every time you eat a pretzel, it’s time to grow up already… With these six Pac-Man coasters from Etsy user Lost Mitten. The bead created set features everybody’s favorite living pie chart, as well as his arch enemies, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. For good measure, there’s also a dead ghost*, and the whole thing comes in an attractive case featuring sweet, delicious cherries. Unfortunately, there was only ONE of these made, so it’s already sold out. But head on over to Lost Mitten’s Etsy page and demand more coasters! *Was that ever confusing to anyone else?  [Via] Posted Feb 18 2008, 02:00 PM by Alex Zalben with | with no comments Filed under: video games, Crafty, Best of Etsy, Booze, dining, Retro Arcade

• Best of Etsy: From Sock Zombies to Baby Duck Slippers

  Let's just get something straight here from the get-go: I'm not a crafty person. Sure, I've stitched a couple things in my life and I reupholstered an antique chair not too long ago, but for the most part, if I've got an extra hour or two, I'd rather hit up happy hour somewhere than, you know, make something and contribute to society. That said, I am so glad other people are crafty! And I am so thankful for places like Etsy where I can spend all kinds of time (yes, time I could be making something...) browsing for cool stuff. If you're interested in just a handful of my favorite finds this week, continue reading: Read More...
