bits and bobbins

i love, love, love these miniature quilt block pins by ShadyGroveStudios…tiny little fabric jewels that (i think) would look mighty fine gathered in a group on the side front of an otherwise plain blazer or sweater.

(btw: i LOVE that fall is fast approaching. you too? i love the nice cool weather!)

…but a stitch ain’t one. FOR REALS.

i’m not much for tees, but this one by jumpseatmonalisa (printed on secondhand shirts) is so hilariously kick ass…it hurts. anything that combines/subverts craftiness and hip hop at the same time puts it in the running for “best tee shirt ever created” (in my hip hop/needlework loving mind, anyway)…

because i can find kick-ass stuff like these KILLER gold boots from the 80s:

those suckers are now MINE MINE MINE. *cackles* can’t wait to get them in my grubby paws and wear them until they fall apart…

they happen to be from PranceAndSwagger’s shop. which you should really check out, it’s got lots of good vintage finds…

seriously though, it’s a great site! i don’t think i’ll ever stop gushing over it and about it. *loving sigh*

oh, hey…

preytell: what’s been your favorite find, ever, on etsy, one you actually purchased and wear (vintage or handmade)? attach a pic or link if you wish, maybe i’ll do a roundup of the best of your bests! c’mon, all, it’ll be fun!
