Time stands still in our kitchen. Not exactly, but we are missing a key element: the ability to tell time. We don’t have a microwave and our stove is old and without a clock. I’m frequently running out to the living room to check the time on the cable box. We’ve talked about getting a [...]

My first time exploring Etsy was also the first time I noticed Bailey Doesn’t Bark. Several years ago, when Etsy was brand new, I could disappear into the site for hours. Without realizing it, I’d have spent two hours clicking and bookmarking and saving and ordering. In the beginning, I didn’t know any artists or [...]

Last week, on our way to Falmouth, we first stopped in Mashpee to stroll around Mashpee Commons. Besides visiting the standard variety of shops (William Sonoma, Vineyard Vines, etc) we also wandered the Mashpee Open Market, associated with the SOWA open air market, which we visited later in the week. There were quite a few [...]

Twig and Thistle directed me to to Wonderthunder’s Etsy site, home of these reusable vegetable bags: Finally, there’s a practical solution for the multiple plastic bags I end up using everytime I buy produce.

I am a frequent browser (and buyer) of Etsy and its products, and I’ve linked to favorite products on this blog before. For those who don’t know: “Etsy is an online marketplace where you can buy and sell items that are handmade, as well as vintage goods and crafting supplies.” While Etsy does not fall [...]

I like Vineyard Vines in my ‘own’ way. Not in the ‘I have to have everything from there and the preppier the better way’. More in the ‘their whale logo is adorable and their clothes fit well’ way. I especially love their whale t-shirt and decided to do a little investigating to see what other [...]

I believe these two artists would both fall under the category of ‘affordable, unique artwork’. They were found on completely separate web searches, but have similar styles and themes. Sandra Juto is an illustrator from Sweden. Her images are cheerful and whimsical. They remind me of a less trippy ‘Yellow Submarine’. I like her color [...]
