I haven’t felt in a bloggy mood this past week and I didn’t realize why until I visited this great blog…How About Orange. I heard about this on some other blog or site and it’s a wildly popular blog for crafters and home decorators. After looking at it I can see why. It’s clean, concise, not overly wordy or overly personal (I like blogs that are personable but not overly heart wrenching…I myself don’t like divulging too much). I feel like I, in a way, have lost touch with what I wanted my blog to be (I know it can be anything I want it to be), but I lost touch of the fun aspect I wanted to bring to it.

One of my very favorite things is seeing new stuff in the marketplace and I’d really like to start sharing more of these things on my blog. Sometimes as a basic post, sometimes as something I expand upon more. Today, I wanted to share some great wares from the Drink and Dream Shop on Etsy.

As you know I love vintage ads, puns, pop culture icons, so I was delighted to see all of these in her shop.

I love, love, love this old acne ad turned pillow. I have always loved the cutout head look and this one is just funny and a true conversation starter…Who needs another coffee table book when you got this?

These Johnny and June shades make me smile. What a fun statement. I also noticed she had Elvis/Priscilla shades and shades with the Ramone’s as well. What a great way to dress up your windows!

Oh and these just made me laugh. Now there is no reason to not be able to your Salt and “Peppa” apart…so clever. My only question is this: Where does this leave Spinderella? She’s always gets the raw end of the deal.

So, Swellions in an effort to get back to my roots I want to start sharing more of things I find that I love. Check back to see more in upcoming posts!
