<p>"In this corner, weighing in at 157 pounds...." Ok, so here in the U.S. we don't really know much about Boxing Day but we do realize that it doesn't have anything to do with pugilism! A little research on the topic unearths quite a bit of interesting &mdash; if not completely consistent &mdash; information about the origins and meaning of Boxing Day, which occurs on the day after Christmas.<br /><br />One <a href="http://www.factmonster.com/spot/boxingday1.html" target="_blank">site</a> states that Boxing Day started in England in the Middle Ages and that the holiday was created because servants were required to work on Christmas but had the following day off. As they prepared to return to their families, their employers would present them with gifts (presumably in boxes!).<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36320846"><img style="float: right;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com//il_430xN.108602937.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="332" /></a><br /><br />Another <a href="http://www.life123.com/holidays/more-holidays/december-holidays/boxing-day-history.shtml" target="_blank">source</a> reports that Boxing Day is when people give gifts, bonuses, donations or items to others, often those less fortunate. For centuries, a Christmas box was an earthenware box, introduced by the Romans, used to collect donations, either as tips at a business or as donations for the poor. These "boxes" were smashed the day after Christmas and the funds were distributed, hence the name Boxing Day. Check out this painstakingly reproduced <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36320846">money box</a> by UK ceramic artist &mdash; and I'm assuming history buff &mdash; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MattGrimmitt">MattGrimmitt</a>.</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>"This one has a flowering plant of sorts along the lines of many I have looked at on old Devon Harvest jugs of the 17-19th century."</em></p> <p>Today, Boxing Day is a public holiday celebrated in Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, as well as many British commonwealths. In the holiday spirit of giving, many popular stores in these areas open early and offer big discounts on all the "boxes" that have not yet been sold. In the Western Church, December 26 is also recognized as St. Stephen's Day or the Feast of St. Stephen &mdash; a patron of widows and the poor.</p> <p>No matter the historic origins, or the more recent incarnations, it seems like what's most important is a spirit of charity shared by all. Happy Boxing Day to everyone around the world!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/boxing-day-hidden-origins-new-traditions-922/">Read another Boxing Day post</a> or more <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/Etsy%20International">Etsy International posts</a>.</strong></p>

<p>The second Monday in October is the traditional date of Thanksgiving Day in Canada. The holiday has roots in the European tradition of harvest festivals, and a common motif is a "cornucopia" or horn filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables, the horn of plenty.</p> <p>Unlike its sister to the South, Canada's Thanksgiving Day has nothing to do with Pilgrims or Plymouth Rock though it does celebrate a "new found land." An English Navigator named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_%28Canada%29" target="_blank">Martin Frobisher</a> who was seeking a northern passage to Asia fell short of his destination but ended up settling in what is now <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=newfoundland">Newfoundland</a>. In 1578 he held a formal gathering to give thanks for his surviving his long journey and officially kicked off Thanksgiving in Canada as we know it today.</p> <p>We at Etsy wish all of you in Canada, and around the world, a season of abundance!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=canada">Shop Local Canada</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=all&amp;search_query=fall+harvest&amp;order=most_relevant&amp;ship_to=">Find Fall Harvest Items</a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Check out our Canadian Teams:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/ab.shtml" target="_blank">Alberta</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/ap.shtml" target="_blank">Atlantic Provinces</a><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/bc.shtml" target="_blank">BritishColumbia</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/viewteam.php?id=501" target="_blank">Manitoba</a><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/ont.shtml" target="_blank">Ontario</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/qc.shtml" target="_blank">Quebec</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/transcanada.shtml" target="_blank">TransCanada</a>&nbsp;</p>

Zombies and sexy nurses &mdash; I can take 'em or leave 'em. The costumes that get my attention tend to be elaborate puns ("Freudian slip," anyone?) and clever pop culture references. There's something so thrilling about running into a beloved character from stage or screen on a witch and vampire-laden sidewalk (I almost had a panic attack when I bumped into a sassy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reno_911!" target="_blank">Officer Dangle</a> lookalike a few moons ago). Today's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/etsy-finds/">Etsy Finds</a> were inspired by the many pop culture references ripe for reinvention.

<p><a href="http://kitsunenoir.com/blog/" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/Untitled-2.jpg" alt="Untitled-2.jpg" /></a><em>Bobby Solomon is the creator of <a href="http://kitsunenoir.com/blog/" target="_blank">Kitsune Noir</a>, a culture blog that focuses on art and design but dabbles in a little bit of everything. Located in Los Angeles, Bobby works from his apartment and posts daily about the things he finds enjoyable. Recently he got rid of his car and has decided to exclusively bike and take public transportation around L.A., so he might have some kind of death wish. </em></p> <p>Not too long ago, handmade items weren't considered a luxury, they were the only option. Okay, maybe that was before most of us can even remember, but it seems like handmade is definitely having a revival. After the plastic craze of the 60's and 70's, people are over mass-production and want something unique and well-crafted. Not that mass-production is going anywhere soon, but it's certainly nice to have some alternatives.</p> <p>My list of Etsy picks, as well as my personal style, is a mixture of vintage and contemporary things. I definitely have a love for both the new and the classic, so finding items that mesh well together is the challenge. The list also journeys not only into items for the home but personal accessories as well. I hope you enjoy my choices, I had a lot of fun putting them all together.</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31757605">Antique New York subway rollsign </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31757605"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/e/ea7/3cb/il_430xN.93225602.jpg" border="0" alt="" /> </a></p> <p>I found this beautiful New York Subway Rollsign and fell in love immediately. I love the boldness of this and the faded white font on the deep black looks amazing. It's also double-sided, so you can pick your favorite side.

The piece above is called Deerman in Profile, and is the combination of two casting molds. I love how totally weird this is, but then the fact that it's made of porcelain seems to lessen the weirdness for me. She's always creating new stuff, so be sure to visit her shop regularly.

This bag is made of oiled bull hide and has stainless steel hardware to keep it together. It has a nice zipper on top to keep your belongings where they belong and the rain out, as well as pouches on the side and front for your phone and items you want to access easily.

They remind me of something that Calder would make, but you know, at one tenth of the price. Black Beauty (shown above) is my favorite though. I'm really digging the sharp, black, leaf looking pieces. The fact that it's nearly 2 feet tall is also a bonus.

The bamboo has a nice depth to it, and the cut out rad starburst gives this a very classy look. They also have a ton of other clocks in this same design but in different colorways if this doesn't quite do it for you.

I found these lovely prints by <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://blackoutwell.etsy.com">blackoutwell</a> who seems to have quite an affinity for foxes and cats, which is cool, if you ask me. Dear You, Mister Fox is my favorite of the bunch, with his hand drawn frame and the yellow flower pattern behind him, just overall wonderful.

Originally it was going to be called Heartland, but then it was changed to States United, which seems a little better to me.

"Based on the historical dress of Alpine peasants, the dirndl is the traditional dress of southern Germany and Austria. In Munich, wearing a dirndl is still a normal way to dress." If you use the dirndl pattern, make sure to show <a href="http://burdastyle.com" target="_blank">BurdaStyle</a> your interpretation of it!</p> <p>To get you in the mood, we asked Munich-native Benedikta von Karaisl to share some of her memories of Oktoberfest, both in German and English.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Die online N&auml;hplattform <a href="http://burdastyle.com" target="_blank">BurdaStyle</a></em><em> ist ein <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/burdastyle/">langj&auml;hriger Freund von Etsy</a> (und zudem noch deutsch!).

"Basierend auf der historischen Tracht der Alpenbauern, ist das Drindl die traditionelle Bekleidung in S&uuml;ddeutschland und &Ouml;sterreich.

However, all of that changes during the last two weeks of September, when Bavaria&rsquo;s breweries gather for its yearly Oktoberfest, the &ldquo;Wiesn." Originally celebrated in honor of Ludwig I's wedding in 1810, it is now the world's largest fair with some 6 million people in attendance.</p> <p><em>Wer in Muenchen aufgewachsen ist, kann bestaetigen: die malerische Innenstadt mit seinen freundlich grummeligen Bayern wirkt eher wie eine laendliche Idylle als eine Grossstadt. Damit ist&rsquo;s allerdings dahin in den letzten zwei Septemberwochen, in denen in der Weltstadt mit Herz die Oktoberfestmusi den Ton angeben. Erstmalig veranstaltet als Pferderennen zu Ehren des Koenig Ludwig I in 1810, ist es mit seinen ueber sechs Millionen Besuchern heute das groesste Volksfest weltweit.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schmollmolch/2452022885/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/2452022885_c0c67777be.jpg" alt="2452022885_c0c67777be.jpg" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schmollmolch/2452022885/" target="_self">Wiesn Rides by schmollmolch on Flickr</a>]</p> <p>Besides rides and attractions, the main focus is traditional food and Bavaria&rsquo;s beer. The fact that about 7 million liters of beer and 520,000 chickens are consumed illustrate Munich's festive spirit during those two weeks.</p> <p><em>Nebst Wilder Maus und Schichtl ist natuerlich das Bier mit passenden Schmankerln die Hauptattraktion. Fakt ist, dass waehrend der Wiesn an die 520.000 Brathendl und knapp sieben Millionen Liter Bier und konsumiert werden.

Hungry tourists and traditionally clothed Bavarians streamed by on their way to the Wiesn, only to return hours later with large Bretzn and a swing in their step. Since hotels are booked to the max, campers liked to park their vans on our school parking lot. As we would be late for first period, we would spot them getting ready in front of their campers to join the Wiesn.

Touristen wie Bayern geschmueckt in Dirndl und Lederhosn stroemten unter unseren Fenstern vorbei Richtung Oktoberfest nur um Stunden spaeter mit Brezn, singend oder tanzend wieder aufzutauchen. Da Hotels waehrend der Wiesn grundsaetzlich ueberbucht sind, hatten wir die Ehre hartnaeckigen Touristen mit ihren Campingwaegen auf unserem Schulparkplatz ein vorlaeufiges Zuhause bieten zu koennen. Das fuehrte hin und wieder zu dem Vergnuegen als Zuspaetkommer die Camper bei der Morgentoilette zu erwischen.<br />Schultage waehrend der Wiesn wirkten endlos, bis wir uns endlich unter die Festgaeste mischen und uns geniessen konnten dass es unsere Heimatstadt war, die waehrend zwei Wochen im Herbst Schauplatz des wohl ausgelassensten Festes der Erde ist.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragingwire/3334954031/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/3334954031_d9964acc4e.jpg" alt="3334954031_d9964acc4e.jpg" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragingwire/3334954031/" target="_blank">[Enjoying the festivities by ragingwire on Flickr]</a></p> <p><em>Have you experienced Oktoberfest?

From August 31 to September 7, your neighbors are forgoing Labor Day in the Hamptons or cook-outs with the family, and instead, they are caravanning out to the Nevada desert with rebar, hula hoops, and tutus in tow.</p> <p>My <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/from-brooklyn-to-burning-man-an-artistic-experiment-2535/">excursion to Burning Man</a> last year opened my dust-covered eyes to an attitude about art and community that overcomes ego, commerce, and greed. This year's theme is Evolution, and if the 50,000+ Burners who congregate to erect monumental sculptures, light their musical instruments on fire, cook bacon for strangers, and paint their unicycles gold are any indication of the future for humankind &mdash; Darwin, be blessed!</p> <p>Are you trekking out to <a href="http://www.burningman.com/" target="_blank">Burning Man</a> this year?

Whether you are decorating your cubicle, your home office, or even your dorm room, the natural woods, clean lines and architectural details of the early 1960s are sure to lend an air of executive elegance.</p> <p>Visit AMC's <a href="http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/photo_gallery/" target="_blank"><em>Mad Men</em> gallery</a> to view more inspiring photos of the set, and be sure to check out the Etsy Finds below for some creative decorating ideas that will add a bit of that sleek, modern sophistication to your workplace or home. And if you're really a super fan of the 1960s, you won't want to miss <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/etsy-finds-release-your-inner-mad-man-4670/" target="_blank">Alison's article</a>

2009-08-12T16:00:00-05:00keithrecker, mtraubhttp://www.etsy.com/storque/craftivism/design-for-development-with-handeye-4720/

<p><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/authors/mtraub/"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/07/michelle.jpg" alt="" width="102" height="160" /></a></em></p> <p><em>I was wandering through the craftivism blogosphere when I discovered the online and print publication, <a href="http://www.handeyemagazine.com/" target="_blank">HAND/EYE</a>. HAND/EYE explores the intersection of design, development, culture, commerce, art, craft, environment, and ethics. Featuring inspiring articles on traditional textiles and philanthropic fashion, HAND/EYE seemed like it could not be more relevant to Etsy. Founder and Editor Keith Recker kindly answered some questions for us on responsible consumerism and the future of design. Below the interview, check out "Happy Chaos," an article from their current issue that profiles a studio in Cape Town making housewares from discarded fabric scraps.</em></p> <p><strong>Tell us a little bit about HAND/EYE. What do you hope readers will get out of it?<br /></strong>HAND/EYE grew out of 20 years of volunteering, giving, and board service, and consulting with several non-profits devoted to artisan development &mdash; including <a href="http://www.aidtoartisans.org/" target="_blank">Aid to Artisans</a>, <a href="http://www.serrv.org/" target="_blank">SERRV</a>, <a href="http://kycraft.ky.gov/" target="_blank">The Kentucky Craft Marketing Program</a>, <a href="http://www.brandaidproject.com/" target="_blank">Brandaid Project</a>, and <a href="http://www.care.org/" target="_blank">CARE International</a>. I learned about the cultural riches being put to gorgeous use all over the world, and was surprised at how little most North Americans knew about the handmade world. Awareness and understanding are certainly better than they were 20 years ago, but I saw an opportunity to talk about the great intersecting points between art, craft, design, philanthropy and enlightened consumption...and HAND/EYE was born. &nbsp;<strong><br /></strong></p> <p><strong><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Keith_headshot.JPG" alt="" width="156" height="199" /></strong></p> <p><br />I hope that readers will see things that inspire them to create, to learn more, and to support what they are drawn to through their charitable giving or their purchasing.<strong><br /><br />Why do you think publications like HAND/EYE are important for our society?<br /></strong>We are all yearning for new ways to feel connected to what we eat, what we wear, what we see and hear. Our easy-to-buy and easy-to-toss society has created a strange alienation: we are so separate from the source of what we consume that we are not satisfied by all the buying we do. Quantity and quality have parted ways on many levels. If we can reapproach the things we surround ourselves with through an understanding of the traditions and innovations they express, and of the people and processes who produce them, we will be more thoughtful about what we buy, and better appreciate what we have. On a purely cultural level, learning about how and why people make things can only enhance our own creativity &mdash; as we make things ourselves, or even as we problem-solve in our daily lives.<strong><br /><br />How do you envision the future of design, craft, and retail?<br /></strong>I think that in about 20 years, every discretionary purchasing decision will be accompanied by questions about who makes the goods, how they make them, the cultural and economic background behind the making, and the environmental impact of production and disposal. We will need stories to nourish us and ground us. And we will need answers to justify our purchases.<strong><br /><br /></strong><strong><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/DSC03895.jpg" alt="" width="304" height="225" /></strong><strong>Where's the most surprisingly eco-friendly place you've visited?<br /></strong>Africa, without a doubt, because the concept of waste is so different from a North American point of view.&nbsp; Refuse becomes fertilizer. Trash becomes treasure. Creativity IS survival.<strong><br /><br />What can artists and crafters do to make their work more ethically and environmentally friendly?<br /></strong>Paying attention to the materials one uses is, of course, an important step. As is controlling wastes and disposal of them. Supporting other makers whose circumstances are challenging is a fantastic way to connect to other creative souls on the planet. Getting involved as a volunteer is one of the most enriching experiences I have ever had: there is no learning like that which happens side by side with someone whose know-how and perspective is different, but whose goals and desires are so similar.<strong><br /><br />What have you found to be most inspiring from your work on HAND/EYE?<br /></strong>The creative community, from individual crafters to "big-time" decorators and fashion designers, is hungry for ideas and information. The desire to know and understand is universally human, and it gives me hope for the future. If we reach out to learn about others and their traditions, we build a web of respect which will support deep, meaningful, lasting human progress.<strong><a href="http://www.handeyemagazine.com/subscription" target="_blank"><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/cover.jpg" alt="" /></a></strong><br /><strong><br />Anything else you'd like to add?<br /></strong>HAND/EYE's most recent issue is all about art, craft, design, and philanthropy unfolding in Africa &mdash; and we still have a few copies left, though we will be sold out, at latest, by the end of September. The next issue talks about The Future of Folk &mdash; about how folk traditions and processes are evolving to address new ideas, new materials, new influences, new customers, and new relevancies.&nbsp; It will be out in early November 2009.&nbsp; After that...possibly an entire edition devoted to the ancient (yet thriving) artisanry of Central Asia.</p> <p>We would love to have everyone subscribe online <a href="http://www.handeyemagazine.com/node/51" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />If you have suggestions on articles for future print or online efforts, please email me at <a href="mailto:keith@handeyemagazine.com" target="_blank">keith@handeyemagazine.com</a>. Check us out on <a href="http://twitter.com/HandEyeMagazine" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, too: we are about to stage a competition for best folk-influenced outfit. It should be fun.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Happy Chaos</h2> <p style="text-align: center;">by Karen Gibbs</p> <p><a href="http://www.handeyemagazine.com/node/44" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/fluffball.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>Photo by Edward Addeo for HAND/EYE</em></p> <h2><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Adri.jpg" alt="" width="157" height="235" /></h2> <p><em>"If we don&rsquo;t find ways of improving people&rsquo;s lives, it will affect us negatively. If we do, it gives everyone involved nourishment, learning.&nbsp; And purpose."</em> &mdash; Adri Shutz</p> <p>Spinning straw into gold: that&rsquo;s what they do at Cape Town&rsquo;s Mielie Studio. Scraps from South Africa&rsquo;s fashion and textile industries become hooked rugs, handbags, pillows, and very stylish ottomans like the Fluffball shown above.</p> <p><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/mielie.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="263" />Founder Adri Shutz, who defines her style as &ldquo;happy chaos,&rdquo; started her business in 2002 as a way of combining her love of color, fibers and fabrics, with her awareness of the need for social change and environmental responsibility. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t live in South African and not be affected by poverty &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s through crime or doing something good or just seeing what&rsquo;s going on around you.</p> <p>&ldquo;But along with the difficulties, you see right away that the most amazing traditions of beading and sewing and design are handed from generation to generation by the poorer people of our country.&rdquo; Shutz dove into the idea of starting an artisan-based business without any formal business training. Seven years later Mielie now employs 50 South Africans.</p> <p><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/DSC06640.jpg" alt="" />The Fluffball is just one of many designs brought to fruition by Adri and the artisans she works with. Their partnership does not stop at fabric and fiber goods, however. The latest joint effort is a plentiful organic garden, whose fruits and vegetables are shared by everyone working at Mielie. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a way of addressing the economic situation right now. If we can&rsquo;t create demand, we can create a way of making everyone&rsquo;s cash go further by putting food on the table.</p> <p>&ldquo;What really turns us on, though, is creating something beautiful from stuff no one wants anymore. And it really is a turn on. When you see, for example, all the yellow scraps gathered from all the gown makers who work with us, it&rsquo;s like a humming bird for your eyes. They shimmer.&rdquo;</p> <p>But perhaps not as much as Adri and her comrades busy at their work.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: right;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>Photos by Adri Shutz</em></p> <p style="text-align: right;">&nbsp;</p> <p>To purchase the Fluffball, contact Amaridian Gallery at <a href="http://www.amaridianusa.com" target="_blank">www.amaridianusa.com</a>. <br />For more information about Mielie Studios, visit <a href="http://www.mielie.com" target="_blank">www.mielie.com.</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/craftivism">More Craftivism Posts</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/gift-guides/environmentally-friendly/130">Environmentally Friendly Gift Guide</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=Africa">Shop Local Africa<br /></a></strong></p>

<p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;">Let me share a little secret with you. If I was living among the characters of <a href="http://www.hbo.com/trueblood/season2/" target="_blank">HBO's hit show True Blood</a>, I'd be a fangbanger (the vampire equivalent of a groupie!). The gorgeous vampires gliding through Bon Temps and Dallas! are hot as <em>hell</em>. I avoided the show for far too long thinking it was a niche series, but after one episode I was hooked. With the show halfway through its sophomore season, waiting for the new episodes on a (gasp) weekly basis has me hungry for an Etsy fix:</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25988988"><strong>Flipping Burgers Earrings</strong><br /><img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_200x200.73881394.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;">Warning: Lafayette's tasty burgers may pack quite a punch.</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;">By <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5130068">PinkHelloKitty</a>, $7.50.</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25988988">View Item</a> | <a href="http://pinkhellokitty.etsy.com">View Shop</a></strong></p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28053778">Two Hand Engraved Wine Glasses , 'Reaching Branches' </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28053778"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/7/728/49c/il_200x200.80795883.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="200" /> </a></p> <p>"...you can bring me a glass of red wine, so I have a reason to be here."</p> <p>By <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://daydreemdesigns.etsy.com">daydreemdesigns</a>, $27.50.</p> <p><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28053778">View Item</a> | <a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://daydreemdesigns.etsy.com">View Shop</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21312743"> Metal sculpture of a viking helmet </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21312743"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/f/f14/7b3/il_200x200.58188533.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="200" /> </a></p> <p>Me thinks &ldquo;She is Mine&rdquo; means little to viking vampire Eric.</p> <p>By <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://SkinzNhydez.etsy.com">SkinzNhydez</a>, $145.</p> <p><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21312743">View Item</a> | <a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://SkinzNhydez.etsy.com">View Shop</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13968779"> Bride and Groom in Coffin Box </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13968779"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/9/92a/6ff/il_200x200.33907644.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="200" /> </a></p> <p>With Vampire-Human marriages now legal, will Sookie and Bill have their happily ever after?</p> <p>By <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://mrstildos.etsy.com">mrstildos</a>, $98.</p> <p><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13968779">View Item</a> | <a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://mrstildos.etsy.com">View Shop</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19437333"> Little Nude Nouveau Witch - 5x7 Blank Greeting Card </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19437333"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/8/84f/e81/il_200x200.51925939.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="200" /> </a></p> <p>Maryann is sure shaking things up this season.</p> <p>By <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://EmilyBalivet.etsy.com">EmilyBalivet</a>, $4.</p> <p><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19437333">View Item</a> | <a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://EmilyBalivet.etsy.com">View Shop</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28667750"> Love Drops .

The overabundance (or is it overflow?) of cleavage on the red carpet has left me wondering what happened to the allure of coyness. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Dee" target="_blank">Sandra Dee</a> proved her sweetheart style could be just as sexy as the wanton personas of her contemporaries.

<p>I have lost friends for days at a time to the consuming addiction that is the <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_(series)" target="_blank">Twilight</a> </em>series of novels by Stephanie Meyer.&nbsp; The allure of Gothic fantasy may be hitting the mainstream trends <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/02/fashion/02VAMPIRES.html?_r=1" target="_blank">just now</a>, but Etsians have long thirsted for romance of the seductive undead.&nbsp; Angie Bowlds, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6863031">stitchandswash</a>, made her <a href="http://www.seattleweekly.com/2009-04-22/news/bag-lady/" target="_blank">big commercial debut</a> by landing her leather tote bag design in Bella's hands for the silver screen.&nbsp; For your next rendez-vous under the full moon, check out these related items.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Do you swoon over Edward's pale visage?

<p style="text-align: left;">Here at Etsy, the community mourns the loss of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson" target="_blank">Michael Jackson</a> by paying tribute rooted in creativity. Throughout his career, MJ was a figure of innovation: a global phenomenon who broke down boundaries not just in music, but race and culture as well. With the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(album)" target="_blank">best selling record of all time</a>, a repertoire of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1CB5FB96EC713ABF&amp;search_query=michael+jackson+music+video" target="_blank">music videos</a> that redefined the medium, and an edgy style that sparked trends around the world, Michael serves as a constant reminder that the greatest threat to art is compliance.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: left;">To do Jackson's legacy justice, we channel his inspiration in order to create something fresh and original.&nbsp; Let's all take a moment out of our day to moonwalk across our studios, and collectively express, "R.I.P. MJ!"</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Which Michael Jackson era helped you come of age?

I've fallen prey to the hit vampire series <a href="http://www.hbo.com/trueblood/season2/" target="_blank">True Blood</a>, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming sequel to <a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Twilight</a>, a movie series depicting the notion of a forbidden dark love.&nbsp; There's just something mysterious about an unattainable, slightly supernatural romance: am I right, ladies? If you're drawn to a darker aesthetic, I think you might like our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/gift-guides/steampunk-and-noir/84">Steampunk and Noir</a> style guide.</p> <p>Without further ado, I

2009-05-19T17:05:00-05:00katiearmshttp://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/artistic-endeavors-top-ten-travel-photographs-3966/

<p>I'm going to share an embarrassing fact with you: I've never left the United States. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/authors/katiearms/" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/katie_storque_.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="220" /></a><br /><br />Now, before I hang my uncultured head in shame, I'll have you know that this summer, I'll be spending a few weeks studying abroad in Provence, the south of France. (I just got my passport, complete with awkward photograph and everything!) To get my traveling juices a'flowing, I've collected my favorite exotic photographs. <br /><br />Not popping overseas this summer? No worries! The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=category&amp;category=art&amp;search_query=travel+photography" target="_blank">travel photography</a> section is just a hop, skip and a jump away. It's so interesting to see another country through someone else's eyes.

My <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/authors/katiearms/" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/katie_storque_.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="220" /></a>obsession started innocently enough; just the pilot episode, to see what all the ruckus was about. Hours later, my roommate found me glued to my seat, chain-watching episode after episode, with every fingernail bitten to a nub.<br /><br />With tonight's season finale on my mind, I can't help but feel like every item on Etsy is enchanted with clues to the show's many mysteries. (This same&nbsp; sentimental nature convinces me that every love song is about my boyfriend and me.) <br /><br />Regardless, I think you <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=index" target="_blank">LOST</a> fans out there will understand the inspiration behind my picks. If you haven't tuned in to the show, you may find yourself a little...well, lost. (Sorry, that pun was begging to be unleashed!)</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22665130"> </a><span style="color: #0192b5; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></strong></p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24881732"> Wanderlust Necklace -- sale </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24881732"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/b/b89/b20/il_200x200.70167421.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="200" /> </a></p> <p>I dare you to try and locate the mysterious island on this globe.

2009-04-27T11:30:00-05:00TeenAngsterhttp://www.etsy.com/storque/etc/thank-you-for-being-a-friend-bea-arthur-3848/

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_Arthur" target="_blank">Bea Arthur</a> passed away this weekend at the age of 86. To those that know and love her, Bea's contributions to the world of television as democratic dynamo <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maude_(TV_series)" target="_blank">Maude Findlay</a> and teacher-cum-Brooklynite <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Zbornak" target="_blank">Dorothy Zbornak</a> will not soon be forgotten. This woman epitomized dolman sleeves, oversized tunics, pantsuits, and a fashion sense very directed by <a href="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2008/06/05/gal_gg4.jpg" target="_blank">gold lam&eacute;</a>. (Who else could pull off a <a href="http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n219/Dwnrvr278/Golden-Girls-tv-show-10.jpg" target="_blank">mint green velvet suit</a>, complete with bow tie?)</p> <p>In short, Dorothy owned her style and her attitude. She stood up for a different kind of woman that conventional television audiences had never encountered. Her dry wit and zingers always left <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Girls" target="_blank">Golden Girls</a> audiences laughing. Bea made aging seem not quite so scary for women, and her performances as Maude and Dorothy were groundbreaking and memorable.</p> <p>Here's to you, Bea! Thank you for being a friend! Here are some of our favorite items inspired by Bea and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Girls" target="_blank">Golden Girls</a> gang. See you on the lanai!</p>

2009-04-09T13:10:00-05:00SarahSayshttp://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/personal-passover-traditions-afikomen-3670/

<p>Last year I shared my grandmother&rsquo;s version of my mother&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/personal-passover-traditions-1646/" target="_blank">Matzah Ball Soup</a>. This year, instead of sharing a food memory, I&rsquo;ll share my favorite Passover custom: the hiding (and seeking) of the Afikomen.<br /> <br /> In a nutshell, at the beginning of the Passover Seder, half of the middle of three pieces of Matzah (called the Afikomen, meaning &ldquo;dessert&rdquo; in Aramaic) is hidden, and Seder service can only conclude once a child locates the Afikomen. In my family, the reward for finding the Afikomen ranges from a silver dollar to some Passover chocolate. This fun custom aims to keep young people interested in the Passover traditions.<br /> <br /> One year, as my uncle went to hide the Afikomen my brother secretly excused himself from the table to spy. When the time arrived to search for the prized unleavened bread, my brother calmly walked over to the couch and sat down. As us kids frantically rummaged through every drawer, under every rug, and behind every crevice, my brother remained seated. He finally stood up, dramatically reached under his couch cushion and retrieved the broken Matzah. We all demanded a re-do. I don&rsquo;t remember who legitimately found the Afikomen, but I know it wasn't me because I was laughing far too hard to participate in the search.<br /> <br /> This year, my family&rsquo;s Afikomen competition may be slimmer than usual. However, no matter the economy, these types of memories and traditions hold a family close even if you have to spend a holiday apart.<br /> <br /> Please share your Passover traditions in the comments below.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/jewish">View More Posts on Judaism</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/holiday">Holiday Posts</a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.etsy.com/gift-guides/her/63"></a></strong></p>

<p>Congrats to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5073675">wickedworld</a> whose <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21430530">pendant</a> was worn (ahem, <a href="http://news.google.com/news?q=mickey+rourke+loki+pendant&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=V8imSZDLDpaitgeNhIXjDw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=news_result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=title" target="_blank">flaunted</a>) at the Oscars by pet-lover <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000620/" target="_blank">Mickey Rourke</a>. The cute face of Loki, Mickey's beloved Chihuahua, stood out from Mickey's flashy white suit and be-sunglassed look. The actor was nominated for this year's Best Actor for his role in <em>The Wrestler</em>. Sadly, Loki passed away only days prior, and Mickey <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/02/the-wrestler-st.html" target="_blank">tearfully dedicated the Independent Spirit award</a> to the pooch at a separate ceremony.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think most pet-lovers would agree that the necklace is an endearing tribute. It's so touching coming from someone who seems like such a tough guy. Guess he's a softy after all!</p> <p>Thanks to<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5645393"> crochetbouquet</a> who <a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6058792&amp;page=1">pointed this out in the forums</a>. She heard about it from <a href="http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/" target="_blank">Anderson Cooper</a> who mentioned it on the <a href="http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/regisandkelly/index.html" target="_blank">Regis and Kelly TV show</a> today.</p> <p>I'm so proud of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5073675">wickedworld</a> and all of Etsy sellers who work with their clients to create such meaningful pieces.

She said that she misses Etsy, but has been too busy working on her line to post new clothing to the site. (She mentioned that she hadn't slept in weeks leading up to Fashion Week!) It was a pleasure to meet the sweet person behind the phenomenal clothing, and I have to admit that I was a little starstruck &mdash; it didn't hurt that fellow contestants Jerrell, <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20223645,00.html" target="_blank">Stella</a> and <a href="http://nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows/2009/spring/main/newyork/womenrunway/projectrunwaysuede/" target="_blank">Suede</a> were there as well!</p> <p>Earlier in the evening we even got a peek at <a href="http://www.christianvsiriano.com/" target="_blank">Christian Siriano's</a> <a href="http://nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows/2009/fall/main/newyork/womenrunway/christiansiriano/" target="_blank">Fall 2009 collection</a>, thanks to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5363986">Domestikate</a> and her <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanessabertozzi/3293932469/" target="_blank">sweet brother</a> (they work behind-the-scenes for Fashion Week).&nbsp; It was a very Project Runway evening, and one I won't soon forget.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/fashion/">More Fashion Posts</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/featured-buyer-leanne-marshall-of-project-runway-2395/">Read Leanne's Interview and Guest Curator Post</a></strong></p>

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Happy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seijin_shiki" target="_blank">Seijin-shiki</a>! Today is Japanese Coming-of-Age Day. Each year, Seijin-shiki is held in the morning on the second Monday in January. <img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/01/seijinshiki_-_2_copy.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="366" />The local Japanese city and prefect offices invite all those who will reach twenty years old during the current school year to celebrate their passage into adulthood. They give speeches, throw a party, and sometimes give small presents. After attending the ceremony, these young adults usually gather in groups and go to parties or go out drinking to celebrate the passage into adulthood.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><em>Here's a photo of me during my Seijin-shiki.</em></p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The present day Seijin-Shiki has its roots in &ldquo;Seinen Matsuri&rdquo;, the youth festival held in Saitama prefecture. It was first practiced post World War II to encourage young people to have hope for bright futures despite the shrinking feeling and depression after the loss of the war. The Japanese government was inspired by this festival and appointed January 15th (the past official day of Seijin-Shiki) as a holiday celebrating young adults and their willingness to persevere.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Today, in the city on the day of Seijin-Shiki, you see many women wearing long sleeve Kimono called &ldquo;Furi-sode&rdquo;, meaning swinging sleeves. Men wear Mon-tuki Hakama, the Kimono of his family crest, and Hakama worn over Kimono, which is tied at the waist and falls to the ankles.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Some of them inherit the Kimonos from their parents or grandparents, but the majority rent full sets of formal Kimono for this ceremony since it is costly to purchase one. Only some of them or their parents are capable of dressing in Kimonos due to the intricacies involved in putting one on, so most go to beauty salons to get their hair set and to be dressed properly in Kimono.</p> <p>This Kimono <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-yXZmW3a2Y&amp;feature=channel_page" target="_blank">video</a> features the Furisode (long sleeve) Kimono for Seijin-shiki.</p> <p> <object height="344" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8-yXZmW3a2Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"> </param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8-yXZmW3a2Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed> </param></object> </p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19492759"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/01/cherryblossom.jpg" alt="cherryblossom.jpg" width="194" height="299" /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Today I'm making the traditional ornamental hairpin called Tsumami Kanzashi for Seijin-shiki, such as this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19492759">Cherry Blossoms Ornamental Hairpin</a> at the right.</p> <p>The history of Kanzashi (ornamental hairpin) goes back 3000 years in Japan. In the prehistorical Joumon era (approximately. 1000 B.C. to 300 A.D.) it was believed that a supernatural power inhabited this thin stick. People wore it as a charm against evil and this became the beginning of Kanzashi.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fukagawa/415772808/"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/01/dnc.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="221" /></a></p> <p><em>[photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fukagawa/415772808/">d'n'c</a> from flickr]</em></p> <p><strong>Further Resources:</strong><br />In <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhr0i__flaA&amp;feature=channel" target="_blank">this video</a>, I fold pre-made Obi sash for Seijin-shiki.<br /> In <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHHN4s6vjOI&amp;feature=channel" target="_blank">this video</a>, I dress myself in Seijin-shiki kimono and tie pre-made Obi sash.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Want more related posts?</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/etsy-world-tour/">Etsy World Tour</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/authors/AtelierKanawa">AtelierKanawa's posts</a></strong></p>
