New Years Eve Goodness

Well, in just one week I will be leaving my life in Montana to go back "Home" to New York. Hopefully I will never have to come back to Montana again. But we'll see.

In honor of New Years' Eve.. I give you the following.


Rainbow Love Bracelet from phranne


Maine Coone Print from OnlyPencil


Love at the Disco Pendant from Sojourn Curiosities


Custom Pencil Urchin from Jen Maestre

There's not much to say about these fun little things, but enjoy. I got 1 Christmas present from Etsy- a lovely pendant from Sojourn Curiosities from my fiance. Lovely stuff.

Uh oh.. new wedding ring candidate?

As you might remember, last year for Christmas I got my fiance and I these rings from Kathryn Riechert. I adore them, but Jeremy's not happy about the fact that the engraving is so public. I might've found a solution..


Edge-Engraved Stackable Rings by Delia's Studio

Now, even if I don't get these.. they're definitely worth checking out. They're really sweet!

Back for the Holidays

Phew! I know I've been really bad about updating, but now that I'm going back to CORNELL this spring I'll probably have tons more time to procrastinate and post on here. But.. Christmas is coming up. Before I show off some of the awesome things I've found, let me direct you over to the Etsy Gift Guides. Tons of great stuff to troll through. But we know what you really wanna see.. my favorites for the season! (and if you're looking to find some of your own favorites, seriously- hang out in the chat rooms- there's always good stuff being thrown around in there)


Viking Circle Pendant from Shy Violet
Okay, okay.. I know I shouldn't be putting so much knitting stuff on here but honestly, it's pretty, isn't it? And a steal at $30! You better snatch it before I do ;-)


Pearly Tree Necklace from Beads in the Belfry
Ok, this one has been sold. But she can make you a custom one. The only reason I haven't taken advantage myself is that the possibilities are absolutely endless. Would I want it just like this one, or do I want it in green and gold and bronze shades, or maybe deep red shades, or even rainbow?! Or do I want delicate silvery crystals.. who knows!


Eyeball Pincushions from Schmaltzy Crafts
She only has some custom eyeballs listed at the time of posting, but verybigjen makes these adorably loveable pincushions that are also, well, just a tad creepy. I love them. If eyeballs aren't your thing, check out the rest of her shop.

Now if you've been paying attention at Etsy, you may know that my all time favorite shop, Gudonya, has retired! Noooooo!!!

But never fear- GudonyaToo is in training with Deb herself and everything's still there. I love the new look- everything's very vibrantly colored, and though I can't vouch yet for the quality of their product I'm positive that Deb will make sure they're just as good as she was. Check it out!

Long time No See

Knitting Messenger Bag

Long time no see, people! I've found something perfect for knitters. I'll be honest with you- I dislike all the 'designer' knitting bags that have come out. They aren't really all that much different from regular bags (with a couple exceptions) and they tend to be very overpriced, in my humble opinion. But I'm not a fan of designer labels. I don't think the name matters.

That's why this bag. It's got everything a knitter needs all built in, and it isn't overpriced (not everyone will want to drop $45 for a bag but, hey, some people are willing to drop $1000, so I think getting a handmade, quality product outweighs the price). On top of this it's a very practical messenger bag design, with a roomy inside. What more could a knitter want?
