Berit's Etsy Shop Now Open!

So, guys, I know I've been inexcusably MIA lately... but I haven't been doing nothing!

I'm very, very excited to announce that I've opened my own shop on Etsy! I've wanted to for a long time now, and this break in school has allowed me to spend some time crafting.

Please take a look around, tell your friends, and please let me know what you think! Click on any image to view it in the shop.

I've been a long time advocate for Etsy and the support of grassroots artists through it, so it's exciting and a little scary to have finally taken the plunge!

Love,

B

Sugar Skull Satisfaction

I've always been kind of entranced by the sugar skulls and motifs associated with Dia de los Muertos- the vibrant colors and cartoon-creepy skeleton depictions, all steeped in culture.

Here's some sweet stuff that draws upon this Mexican holiday for inspiration!

Sugar Skull Laptop Decal- $18.00

Via SoSexedUp

The Four Fridas 5x7 Print- $8.00

Day of the Dead Deep V- $19.00

Sugar Skull Ring- $25.00

Wishing you all a lovely weekend! Nothing quite like popping the contacts out, painting my nails and watching some Arrested Development... :)

P.S. All items for sale here can be bought on Etsy- I can't stress how important it is to support small artists and their businesses! This is as close to guilt-free shopping that you can get besides in a thrift store ;)

Disney Couture? I Think YES

While browsing FredFlare the other day, I spotted a few cool piece of jewelery that bore the name Disney Couture. How intriguing... turns out Disney has a high end line of baubles based off of some of their most popular productions (such as Alice in Wonderland and Tinker Bell of Peter Pan).

Although a good half of the pieces for sale sport the same usual shameless Disney marketing tackiness, some were really sweet! Including some by Tom Binns, who is AWESOME.

Keyhole Alice in Wonderland Ring by Tom Binns for Disney Couture- $49.95

Disney Couture Tea Party Bracelet by Tom Binns for Disney Couture- $136.00

Disney Couture Hearts Necklace (more Tom Binns)- $180

Disney Couture Shark Bracelet- $54

I especially love the tea party bracelet. The enchanting whimsy in all things Alice are hard to avoid, no?

P.S. After like 3 weeks of looking crappy the blog layout is FINALLY NORMAL!!!!!!!!
