Wowee

Luzia Pimpinella has some crazy cute items in her shop - like this owl keychain. But you really must take a gander at her blog or flickr account. Her daughter is one of the coolest dressed lil kids I've seen.

Guaranteed

If you need a smile, get thee to Marc Johns' flickr stream or his new blog. The man is funny and odd in just the right sort of way.

Hee!

Vivstrauss's art is sublimely ridiculous. Take this adorable piece entitled "Harriet Had Reached the Point Where One Could No Longer Dispute that She Was in Fact a Cat Lady" Fantastic.

Now with more bird love

Now really, you can't expect me to not share a phenominal find like belokrinitski's shop, can you? I wish she had some of her big tailed birds attached to things i could hang on my wall. Love them!

Hard to argue with that logic

Love this magnet made by franticmeerkat.

Wonderland

Eek! Here's another item that screams spring. Wearing this would beat off the winter blues for everyone around you. Made by SnookyDoodles.

Oh etsy, how I love thee

For where else could one find a squid hat? This one is made by ObeyMyBrain.

Warning

The 10 year old in me is acting up again. And she totally wants these towers from Intres. And she's spoiled so she wants ALL of them or she's pitching a fit and holding her breath.

Just saying

When Miss Kristen is wildly rich, she'd best hire me to be her personal shopper. Cause i'd find her the best stuff - like this ring from papermache.

Suddenly I'm 8 years old again

FantasticToys line of paper houses (and even landscaping options!) takes me back to being a wee little girl again. So fricking cute!

Squirrely

Isabella's Art has so many pieces that make me smile. They'd be perfect for a kid's room or just cheering up any little corner.

On a roll

Ye another adorable bag. This one from charmdesign.

Question

Does one have to have a kid in order to covet this butterfly mobile? Because I have no excuse for mentally picking out where this would look best in my kidless house. (Found via Nested - which I'm browsing only for baby shower ideas).

Delightfully odd

Horriblesweet is a maker of some of the most wonderfully strange dolls I've ever laid eyes on.

Rodrigo

We all know that Ann Wood makes beautiful birds and ships, but would you look at her owl? He's adorable!

More arms to hug you with

I think every wee child needs their very own socktopus like those from blackbird fashion. (Some of us big kids too!)

Happiness

Why is it always during this time of year when gift ideas are so much in need, that I start slacking on the posts? Possibly cause I've been spending too much time shopping and getting ready for the holidays. No excuses though!

I shall rectify this by showing you the happiest shop I've ever found on etsy - the very appropriately named byhappynow.

So fun and wonderful!

Party time

I wnat to buy a whole passel of these guys from Happycloud Thunderhead and hold pretend tea parties with them in my bedroom. That would make me such a happy happy girl.

It goes without saying

But I'll say it anyway! Why go stand in line at those big box stores buying mass-produced junk for holiday gifts, when you could instead buy handmade lovelies like these super fabulous whale pillows by katedurkin?

I am so hoping for an etsy and art-filled Xmas.

Happiness feels like felt

This necklace is chock full of happiness and woefully underpriced for the happiness it would add to any outfit. Found over at rosetutu.
