Happy Birthday Gemini!
Those of us lucky enough to be born under the sign of Gemini (May 20 through June 21) are mercurial, quick-witted, sharped-tongued charmers. (At least according to those Aquarians, Sagittarians, and Libras who love us.) Others might claim that the Twins are lying, two-faced, gossiping Jekyll and Hydes...but they …

Etsy World Tour: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Oaxaca, Mexico

Etsy Finds: Tattooed Ladies
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.

Etsy Finds: MermaidClaire's Coney Island Finds
