"People are always saying you should be yourself, like yourself is this definite thing, like a toaster. Like you know what it is even. But every so often I'll have, like, a moment, where just being myself in my life right where I am is, like, enough."  -Angela Chase In the late summer of 1994, I was uprooted from my easy ...
Today I present a theme very near and dear to my heart: the tattooed lady! She appears in many incarnations on Etsy, as well as in many styles of art. From Kat Von D to Winston Churchill's mother,*  a woman with a tattoo makes a rebellious statement. Check out Etsy People With Tattoos, a Flickr group (that I happen to ...
These days, my flickr contacts page is full of preggers belly, ultrasounds and newborn photos!  One of the newest members of the momma club is none other than LemonCadet.  I've watched her adorable yeti, kitty and bean baby clothes since before "Baby Lemon" was a sparkle in Mr. and Mrs. Lemon's eye.  She's definitely ...

You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious ...
When you were a kid, didn't you think that flea markets sold fleas?  Well the origin of the name reveals that this is not far from the truth!  According to Wikipedia, the first flea market was Marché aux puces in the northern suburbs of Paris.  The name translates literally to flea market, and was named for the ...
Hi y'all!  I'm Claire, aka mermaidclaire, and I'm new on the Etsy Support Team.  When I feel spring is just around the corner here in Brooklyn, I get homesick for the beautiful mountains and green grass of West Virginia. Don't get me wrong, I love NYC, but Central Park doesn't have enough hills!  One can't exactly go ...
"Oh no!
