ETSY Favorites

Here are some of my Favorites from around Etsy!

These guys make pretty cool quote posters.

I particularly like this one - for children of all ages! http://www.epiphanyscorner.etsy.com/



This book shelf by http://www.oldandcold.etsy.com/ is pretty ingenious!
I'll take one that stretches the entire length of the living room please!



This ring is really awesome! It has a great attention to detail and looks like a timeless classic with an edge!
The fellow responsible for its creation has my highest regards.

Happy Presidents Day to everyone! Don't forget to do your P Day shopping with someone who makes things by hand!

Found - A Tool





                                            Found : Neat little 1950's lathe with original motor

                                                        Where: Garage sale

                                                           Price: $20.00

This will be a nice little addition to the shop. The motor looks questionable but upon further inspection it work terrific! It so quite you hardly notice it is running! I plan on using it for some wood and aluminum machining. It's a cute little casting!

Happy 2012 Folks!

Inspirational Craft - Alexander Calder

Everyone knows Calder, right? The "mobile" guy - some say the creator of this genre of art. He was also a master maker of jewelery. In his own style, naturally! His jewels were quite popular among society arty ladies - but he mostly gave them away to friends (who were said ladies). Enjoy the "feast" of Calder works below - all portable and wearable! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Brass Ring with Ceramic - 1930 Calder

Brass Collar/Necklace with Silver Armband Calder

Ribbon Necklace Silver - Calder

Brass Necklace - Calder - Made from One Piece of Wire

Silver Armband - Calder

Amanda Finds It!



Vintage Shoe Co.. Tanker boots

 Everyone has talents.
A particular talent of mine is finding things.
It's a bit odd really and not quite as exciting as having X ray vision...it goes like this.

A friend will ask if I have ever seen / come across an item - I'll say no
I haven't!  Never seen that bizarre thing you are looking for... then Voila! a few weeks later
I'll apply my masterful "sleuthing" skill and said item will appear.
Usually for a reasonable price and being well made!

The above boots, for example, are similar to a photo of Lotta Jansdotter's.
For years I was always wondering who made them as they looked to be vintage quality!
Then last night I stumbled upon these! Mystery solved!

Thanks for Reading!
