i can think of a lot less worthy ways to while away an evening than perusing the wares in my favourite virtual marketplace, etsy…

i daren’t even look in my “purchases” folder anymore… eek… but i can tell you one thing, i’ve rarely been disappointed with my online acquisitions {and it’s quite a motley collection too}

but looking through my current basket, i can’t help but see themes starting to emerge that clearly reflect my many & varied tastes at any given time, the most prominent of which gives me butterflies {& the occasional moth}…

my latest flight of fancy, a swarm of butterflies to adorn the barnet by which goose…

while eva juliet provides some poetry for the walls…

vintage domed specimens from north brooklyn dry goods provide a natural resting spot for my weary eyes…

& utilitarian franchise offers up a soft landing for other body parts…

but perhaps my favourite of all is this wearable art by my selvaged life

many a happy hour have i spent on etsy, & the best part of all is that loading my virtual cart with goodies costs me absolutely nothing {apart from the occasional flutter}…
