Etsy Finds: Fade to Black
Picture it: A foreboding shadow in a dimly lit room, the glistening kohl-rimmed eyes of a 1930s rapscallion, the vast darkness that beckons inside every Pandora's box, and a resonant swelling of the orchestra as the silent film fades to black. The evocative tone that is black conjures an endless array of …
Etsy Finds: I Heart Team Twilight

Etsy Finds: This Kind of Love
I've often thought about how my ideal wedding would play out — there would be plenty of navy blue, a bouquet of succulents and ranunculus, a melabo wedding topper (with me and my boo as raccoons), a 1930s style dress, a photo booth, and red velvet cake for days. In short, it would be a wedding that fits my particular …
Tiptoe Through the Twilight
I have lost friends for days at a time to the consuming addiction that is the Twilight series of novels by Stephanie Meyer. The allure of Gothic fantasy may be hitting the mainstream trends just now, but Etsians have long thirsted for romance of the seductive undead. Angie Bowlds, a.k.a. stitchandswash, made …
Etsy Finds: My American Gothic Wedding
What do you get when an Etsy addict and an independent artist fall in love? A very unique wedding. I spend all day, every day on Etsy (since I'm an editor of Etsy's blog, The Storque), and my husband Mickey is a cartoonist and designer, so between the two of us, equipped with our crew of crafty friends and family …
Etsy Finds: A Dark Romance
Lately I've found myself gravitating toward the idea of a Gothic love story. I've fallen prey to the hit vampire series True Blood, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming sequel to Twilight, a movie series depicting the notion of a forbidden dark love. There's just something mysterious about an …
Etsy Finds Vintage: In Praise of Things Past
I'm a little nostalgic for times past. (Vintage Finds readers may have noticed this fact!) Whether it's traveling freak shows of yore, Medieval art and armor, Russian futurism, or the rustic log cabin lifestyle epitomized in Little House on the Prairie, history and its varied fashions, aesthetics and …
