Etsy Curiosities

It has been a while since I've done an Etsy Curiosities post, so I figured I was long overdue. Sometimes I love to surf the etsy website just to see what I can see. Most of the stuff on etsy is really creative, beautiful, and original. I usually want most of it. Some of the things I stumble upon though, are just strange and curious. I'll share some of those things with you:

Jean sandal shoes, can't say these are a pair that I would wear. Find them here.

A vintage glass prosthetic eyeball, because why not? Find it here.

Finger charms, to be made into earrings I guess? Find them here.

A fluorescent rhino with black feet, kinda cool actually. Find it here.

Nose flute, suggested to be played with the ukulele. Find it here.

Last but not least, "original" fashion photography. Find it here.

Etsy Valentines Day Gifts

Andy and I are not big gift people. We have everything that we could want, so we don't usually give gifts. For Valentines Day we will probably go out to dinner and exchange cards. This doesn't mean I don't enjoy looking for fun gifts though. As I have mentioned plenty of times before, Etsy is the perfect place to find homemade gifts along with supporting the small business community. These gifts are so much fun, I may actually give a gift this year. :)

For Him:

 Wild cent for your wild man. Cedar and Lime, with subtle hints of Lavender and Rosemary, wow. Find it Here.

 Hot chocolate with earl grey for the man with a more defined pallet. Find it Here.

A leather cuff for him with the latitude and longitude of your favorite place. (Andy would love this!) Find it Here.

 Guys like getting gifts of chocolate too...bacon covered chocolate! Find it Here.

For the coffee lover man. Some morning joe with a sweet note on it. Find it Here.

For Her:

 Dried and laminated bougainvillea petal earrings for the nature/flower lover. (I want these.) Find it Here.

 

 An anitomical heart illustrated tank for the literal woman. Find it Here.

 Fancy gourmet chocolate truffles. Flavors like bourbon, raspberry, and spicy mayan. Yes! Find it Here.

 Care for a mug of sensuali-tea? Calming herbal tea for the hot drink lover. Find it Here.

A simple delicate gold and red bracelet for the jewelery gal. Find it Here.

If you find something good, order it now so you'll have it by Valentines Day- next Thursday! And no, Etsy, nor any of these products endorse me for this. I just love Etsy.
