Interesting-ness

Check out the style of these next few pieces. Could you even have guessed that they were all made from wood? Very unique items if you ask me and there's many more where that came from!


The name is porkchopshow and with all the sales he's seen you've most likely already come across his shop a time or two. Thats right I did say he and it wasn't even a typo this time! Anyways, I only rarely browse for supplies so this one is completely new to me.

Another one for the steampunk genre

This new featured seller has a knack for creating dark fantasy-like items. ettadiem makes all sorts of pieces from prints to purses to crafts all with the same beautifully dark themes.

Shes also a member of the Etsy Dark Side Street Team :)

Snack Holders

So today I went into someprettythings Etsy shop on a mission to choose one clutch to feature. Seriously,I only wanted one! I'm usually very particular about these things but it was such a challenge that I decided to nix that idea and choose my top three. And here they are :)

This girl certainly has a knack for mixing the right patterns into the most desirable clutches!

...Is it knix or nix?

Cut Cut

This vintage pair of scissors make quite the statement. Whether your deranged and like to cut people, crafty or a hair dresser they just work :)

I found them in 27thAvenue's shop and still can't figure out why they haven't sold. Maybe its our crap-hole economy, although most top sellers are still selling like there's no tomorrow! Oh how I long for that day...

I've just started playing the game "Chocolatier". I'm such a sucker for those kind of run your own business types of games.

The Cookbook By Your Favorite Sellers!

Etsy seller are a creative bunch. They pay special attention to detail, they work relentlessly towards perfecting their craft and they don't stop until they get it just right. So who better to put together a delicious recipe?


Now, thanks to Etsy seller Jason of JJMFinance, we can all own a collection of over 100 recipes from these masters of craft. He has created an affordable electronic cookbook showcasing 39 Main dishes, 23 Side dishes and 40 Desserts. What a great way to get to know your Etsy community a little better! I've just received mine today and I love it :)

I highly recommend it

What Time Is It Mister Wolf?

You'd have to be blind not to notice the whole steampunk theme going on in Etsy these days. It's come out in full force and this shop is especially good at creating those one of a kind mechanical pieces like these oh so inspiring earrings.

FringeLore is run by a 30-something year old girl who has a fascination with old things. She insists that No antique pocket watches were harmed in the making of her jewelry. All pieces and parts are considered "rescued".

It's That Time Again!

This piece below is currently available in brookekent's Etsy shop. She's our newest member of the featured sellers list and her spider will spend all of July in the corner of this blog. They do so love their corners don't they?

Brooke's work is inspired by dreamy memories, vintage aesthetics, death and decay, the creepy and the strange, melancholia, nature, and erotica.

Perdyness

I'm stoked to have come across this next Esty sellers work.

Kmye truly has a gift for creating the most beautiful, dark and feminine portraits. The hair, poses and clothing all form such a perfect balance. Just by browsing her shop I feel inspired to open my sketch book and start making some croquis.


Looks like she has brains too! Kmye is currently finishing up her biology studies and will be starting her PhD in September.

Eye Candy

This first ones on reserve but bonzie's shop has many more items up for sale. Her inventory's not at all limited to corsets. She also sells jackets, dresses and accessories.


Theres a certain aged look to her pieces that I just adore. Bonzie uses upcycled clothing, thrifted trinkets, fabric and her own special skills acquired from an apprenticeship with a corsetierre and an intership with a Paris designer!


drool away my readers, drool away

In Your Head,

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie...

A Cranberries song from way too long ago is what I first thought of when I saw this pendant. All the jewelry in viennahorses shop is very clean looking and intensely unique. It doesn't look like shes listing as often as she once has. I feel a little like I'm creeping through a haunted setting when I'm browsing through her sold items.

Theres something so strange about it all.

Nipple what-a-whats?!?

mmmhmmm, thats right. This post is all about the more than affordable nipple pasties in gothfoxdesigns's shop. And if, for even a single second you think you have no desire for these pasties then I invite you take a peek at her photography. I think you'll change your mind :)


These photos will give you another reason to enjoy being a woman. Or, if you have a penis, it will give you another reason to love being a man.

Heres a link that I think all you burlesque lovers will appreciate:
Dita Von Teese

The youtube link was disabled so its the best I could do. You wont be disapointed

I'll Get You!!

Again with the fish?! I know and I'll let it rest after this post... At least until the next time I post about fish.

This ones extra peculiar. It's missing an eye and not just because its dead and sunken in but because it was born that way. It's also encased in wax and strung on a necklace but hang out on Etsy long enough and you'll realize that just about anything can be turned into a necklace. This one was created by Ms. silentcheesecake who also sells other dead things like bugs and octopus.

In other news, I was tagged by the most beautiful avatar today. Thank You nuvonova (dag nabit)
so here I go...

Seven random facts, lets get this over with shall we?

Number 1: I'm incredibly lucky and if you touch me you'll win the lottery
Number 2: I don't like eating those pancakes from a box
Number 3: I'm watching a Marilyn Monroe movie right now and I don't like it but the clothes make it watchable
Number 4: Fish make me cringe
Number 5: Theres a framed 8 x 10 photo of a man in my apartment but I don't know who he is. No one does.
Number 6: I like to go to the beach often but rarely ever swim when I'm there
Number 7: I love to eat cookie dough and bacon on the same plate. (my heart hates me)

That wasn't as horrible as I expected it to be. As much as I would love to tag seven more people, Im even lazier than you nuvonova, and I'd rather just let this one die :)

Duuuude

I totally sell banners now. Yesterday I finally decided to create a third shop and I called her BettyBanner. If you an Etsy seller convo me because I really want to make your banner!!


All these guys are only $3 plus the fonts can be mixed and matched. If any of you guys needs a banner, project wonderful ad, blog heading or anything else I can't think of let me know! I enjoy making them :)

"Todays Special"

I am in love again...

This time with these mannequins from nostalgiccorner's Etsy shop. They're entirely out of my price range but I still enjoy the window shopping. Perhaps one day when I've given up on Etsy and jewelry making all together I'll be able to afford one.


I can already imagine my leopard necklace hanging on the bottom right ones neck. Shes my favorite and I've named her Betty

Oh Boy!

Another month has passed which means its time once again to feature another talented dark Etsian. This months award goes to a strange, fairy taleish photography shop going by the name of ellemoss


"I love to process my images as much as I love to take them. I am always looking for the extraordinary among the ordinary. I am a dedicated self portrait artist who is drawn to dreamy, surreal images with vintage qualities and charming details."

That quotes was taken from her profile and I'd say it just about sums things up :)
