Love At First Sight #7!

I happened across this shop a loooong time ago, but these little guys are so cute, I just have to feature them. These awesome monsters come from Chelsea Bloxsom's Love And A Sandwich! The Monstroctopus monsters are my favorite! Check out her Facebook fanpage, she frequently posts super neat Star Wars-themed cross stitch stuff! Lovelovelove it!

Love At First Sight #6!

I'm starting to see a trend here. Every week, it's jewelry! EXCELLENT jewelry, but I think after this week I need to start branching out! Expect new stuff soon! Anyhow...

This week I fell in love with Los Angeles native Vicki Berndt's shop Berndt Offerings. Her "Modern Day Saints collection" is gorgeous! I came across these by way of a front-page treasury featuring Amy Winehouse-related items the day she passed and fell head over heels with the Amy Winehouse rosary! When I paid a visit to the shop and also discovered things like the Exene Cervenka and David Bowie pendants, it was love. What incredible talent!

Go to her site and check out her Debbie Harry painting! Now THAT I'd like to see on a pendant!

Love At First Sight #5!

Alright, I don't quite have it in me to whip out Photoshop this time, as I am braindead from my Anatomy class :| So here we go, a short-but-sweet L@FS!

(So, I did it anyway. Of course. I am so OCD. Gah!)

You guys. HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT JOHN WATERS NECKLACE?! I need it. In the very near future. This thing is so effing awesome I can't even contain myself right now! An honorable mention is the Hunter S. Thompson necklace. TO DIE FOR. I love that everything is stainless steel. So unique!

And guess what? FableAndFury is Seattle-based! Knowing that such badass taste is so close to home warms my little heart! And guess what else? FableAndFury has a table at the upcoming Mourning Market at Club Motor I'll be helping my friend Chivahn vend at August 21st! I'll be sure to bring some extra cash, I definitely need to grab up some stuff! <3

Love At First Sight #4!

Janine Basil of London owns the shop I fell in love with this week. She makes the most unique embroidered headbands and fascinators I've ever seen! I can't wait to get my grabbyhands all over one of those star pieces one of these days! The contrast of the pink stars with the blue hair in the first photo is effing gorgeous! And the exposed brain headband is so hilarious! I'll definitely be snatching this up for the Seattle Zombie Walk next year (if I can actually make it! Fingers crossed!).

Love At First Sight #3!

Yay! I actually am able to get around to blogging this week! And it's time for me to gloat about this Etsy shop I found a few weeks back! In fact, you might remember me sticking a link to this shop in one of my previous "Bre's Week In Links" features!

This week, we're focusing on Sarah Norton from Toronto, who makes adorable dark-themed jewelry from polymer clay. Her shop is called Beat Black and everything is absolutely incredible! She reached inside me, grabbed my inner angsty goth teen and shook her back to life! The above are just a few of my favorite selections. That jawbreaker locket is to die for. I want it I want it I want it!!!

When you're done checking out her shop you can also check out her site/blog, like her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter!

What about you guys? What Etsy treasures did you dig up this week?

Love At First Sight #2

I know this shop has been getting plenty of coverage as of this week (she was featured in an Etsy newsletter last Thursday), but I can't help myself. I am IN LOVE with marymaryhandmade!!!

This Narwhal necklace alone was able to make me wish $45 would magically appear in my Paypal:



How adorable is that? I really, really need it in my life!

What did you fall in love with this week?

Love At First Sight #1!

Oh. My. God. This listing has inspired an entire blog series with one look!

Do you guys remember those Perler beads from the early nineties that you would stick to a spikey plastic thing and fuse together with an iron? I forgot about them completely until I found this shop just now: Argenta Collaborative!

Took me back INSTANTLY. I used to make all kinds of nonsensical patterns with these things when I was about 8 years old, but Game Boy magnets? SOLD!

I've always been fascinated with pixel art, but this takes it to a whole new level! In love!
