Etsy Seller: Odd Inq

Updated May 10, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

An entire alphabet of oddity as expressed in tile.

R is for ruin, and N is for no man's land. Get one or two or perhaps an entire alphabet. I'd love to see these in someone's home in a wall.

Finny's Funny Baby Gear

Updated May 10, 2008

2 people recommended this item

Description

Don't you want to have monkey ears? Or swaddle your munchkin like a little bug, antenna and all? And did I mention the giraffe hat?

Finny's Funny Fleece, an Etsy seller, has playful hats and swaddlers in addition to a bunch of goofy monkeys.

The cuteness factor is out of control.

Atout...Point De Vue: Soon E Mc

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Jazz-soaked hip hop from France. My French-Algerian former coworker used to make fun of me for liking this old album. He'd moved onto the bigger and better artists: eminem and so on. I like this album quite a bit.

Prose Combat: MC Solaar

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

French rap can be a hard sell. MC Solaar's music is toward the jazz end of the spectrum of rap. He has something to say in this album and says it well whether it be politics, dissing his competitors, or "the ends justify the means."

At Folsom Prison & San Quentin: Johnny Cash

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

You can't not like Johnny Cash, the man in black. He sings ballads about murders and a boy named Sue, and that ring of fire. This album is a collection of two concerts in two prisons, San Quentin and Folsom, so he's singing about things that have personal meaning to his audience.

High Voltage: AC/DC

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Okay, so I like AC/DC. They're having fun playing slightly metal rock & roll. I find myself grinning and singing along when their tracks come on the iPod at work.

Good old fashioned metal fun.

The Definitive Collection: John Lee Hooker: Music

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

John Lee Hooker. Sometimes it is easy to write a recommendation. Sometimes not so easy. I can't put into words the way this man plays and sings. Listen to him, it is worth it.

Viva! La Woman: Cibo Matto: Music

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A long ago boyfriend introduced me to Cibo Matto while driving around DC in his car. He made me a mix tape including the playful silly music of Cibo Matto and I soon after bought the CD. I've been listening to it ever since.

The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981): Johann Sebastian Bach,Glenn Gould

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Glen Gould's two recordings of the Goldberg variations are stunning. They're not something you can really listen to as background music because they'll captivate you.

Yellow Ibis Science t-shirts

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

There are a number of science t-shirts you can get out there. "Talk nerdy to me" and "I [heart] my geek." and so on. Yellow Ibis has shirts that say things like "I [three neck flask] chemistry" and a skull and crossbones with the crossbones replaced by pipetors, and this really cool glow in the dark benzene ring. Or for the geologist in your life, "I date rocks." Or for a more all purpose shirt, "I blinded me with science."

Yeah, I could spend most of my paycheck here. Easily. Or you could spend most of your paycheck here, buying shirts for me. Hint, hint.

I'd list individual shirts, but the site is not ThisNext friendly and I have experiments I should be doing.

Deluxe "Urara" Bento Box Set -- Yellow (Flower)

Updated Apr 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

J-list has many different bento boxes, but this deluxe set really caught my eye. With reasonable sized containers and included mug and chopsticks, this can be your lunch box and express your style at the same time.

Medina Baskets: French Market Basket

Updated Apr 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Take this to the grocery store or the farmer's market and fill it up with tasty things. Or just use it to tote things to the beach. Whatever you use it for, it is a stylish and natural alternative to the plastic and mass manufactured bag.

There's something romantic about this. (via Decor8)

Etsy Seller: ThePurpleFern

Updated Apr 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

So, as the page loads for this site, I think you should start saying, under your breath if you're at work as I am, "Oh my God, shoes."

The Purple Fern has hand painted shoes ("Oh my God, shoes!") with Marylin Monroe, or flowers or just crazy designs. Creative and wild, these are shoes to show off in, to strut down the street in, to walk into the room and have everyone at your feet in.

These shoes are awesome.

Etsy Seller: Jennifer Ladd

Updated Apr 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Bright fabrics in booties, bibs, purses and clutches. One of the things that gets me down in the late winter and early spring is the sheer number of people still in dark, dismal colours.

Here, take one of these as a prescription against the dreary.

Not only are the fabrics fun, but the shapes are good too.

Etsy Seller: Meeting Street Design

Updated Apr 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Ponytail holders and barettes that are just cute as heck. I want to order about a dozen different designs from Meeting Street despite the fact that my ponytail remains clenched with three all-purpose, no-nonsense black ponytail holders at all times. Maybe it is time for a change.

Ranging from silly and fun to elegant and sophisticated there's something here for your five year old and for you. Or perhaps your inner five year old.

Etsy Seller: ARTDSG

Updated Apr 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Shelteriffic mentioned this Etsy Seller in an entry today and I was drawn to his lighting designs quite strongly. I recently moved into a new apartment and some previous tenant or the landlord removed all the lighting fixtures leaving me with a lot of bare bulbs, so this definitely caught my eye.

Nice warm wood in lights makes me happy.

ARTDSG also has some blocky paintings which would look nice in your home.

Updated Apr 3, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Rivulette makes mixed media jewelry with a light hand. With beautifully delicate crocheted pod necklaces which make me want to reach out to touch them, you're sure to find something to cherish here.

Rivulette has a great eye for colour as well as form.

xkcd store

Updated Apr 5, 2008

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I'd like to put links for a few items in the xkcd store, but there are no individual pages for individual items, so I'm just plopping them all down right here.

Xkcd is a brilliant comic for the nerdkind which just makes me happy. Adding to that happy are t-shirts saying things like "science, it works bitches" and "stand back, I'm going to try science"

Do you have a friend who is a geek? Well they probably read xkcd already so why not give them the "Actual Size" stickers to play with, or a map of the internet poster? They'll love you forever.

Etsy Seller: Mikiye

Updated Mar 21, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I must be feeling the changing seasons because I keep seeing lovely floral accessories that I want to share. Mikiye makes frothy floral hair ornaments with tiny jewels at their centers. These would be ideal for those planning a wedding or just to have something gorgeous in their hair.

Etsy seller: the other sister

Updated Mar 20, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Generally the words 'floral' and 'handbag' together in a sentence conjure up your aunt's ugly chintz upholstered monstrosity. These clever handbags are flowers in and of themselves. This would be something wonderfully goofy to bring to a dress event, or something that would work for bridesmaids or a bride.

Pexagon: Personalized Portable Hard Drive

Updated Mar 17, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

What is not to like about a personalized USB drive. This way the guys in the office won't accidentally walk off with yours, especially if it is flaming pink and has your name on it. Leave it in the library? You'll get it back from the librarian. (via Popgadget)

squid and the whale T-shirt

Updated Feb 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I've got a soft spot for the squid-like. I've even been known to stand watching the octopi in aquariums for ages. This t-shirt by Dan McCarthy is a fine piece of apparel that would be one of the first things out of the laundry that I'd wear.

Updated Feb 23, 2008

Description

Words make art. I love how my eye moves over these tumbled letters in Jonathan Haggard's prints. Wonderful organic colours and strong shapes make these appealing.

I'd get these for a friend, and then covet them myself. (via Poppy)

Ceeb Wasserman's Etsy shop, Howlin Doggie has jewelry that reminds me of letterpressed images. There are necklaces of Japanese family crests, and bracelets with punched out flowers.

The designs are clean and neat.
