Firstly, I was browsing accessories and such, and stumbled across these pins - and HAD to have them! Anyone who is an internet junkie as much as I am knows exactly what LongCat is. For anyone else, here is an explanation. Slevin11 makes all sorts of neat, interesting, kitschy buttons. Definitely check him out! Anyway, I could not pass these little babies up:
And he included this with them, which I also love:
And displayed proudly on my purse:
I also happen to have a painful compulsion to use lip gloss and balm. Lately, I've had horribly dry lips, likely a combination of being pregnant and drier air at work. The lip butter I was using didn't really work, and the thought of chocolate lip balm that was made with real chocolate just drove me to shop. So, I hopped over to ivaart's shop after she mentioned it in the Red ROom chat, and after a short battle with myself, purchased two lip balms, chocolate chip and strawberry. They arrived the other day, and wow, they are awesome! I haven't tried strawberry yet, but I used the chocolate chip and with one application, my lips were no longer dry, and with a couple the flakiness had disappeared, too. And they even have cute stickers on them!
And she sent a bunch of business cards and even a sticker for kittycrossbones, who I have ordered from and love too! I love getting neat stuff like this.
So, that was my pimping of some other awesome Etsy shops. I'm waiting for a custom purse, so if that arrives half as nice as I expect it, there will be another shop pimping coming. And any time I purchase from a seller, or just really love a shop, I'll pimp it here too. As interesting as my crafting is, I'm sure people want to find new interesting people and places to shop.
