After a long and restful week at home in Iowa, I'm back at Etsy with my nose to the grindstone, catching up on all the blog action I missed while I was cavorting in cornfields. Here's what looks interesting this week!

Artist Chris Kenny makes beautiful three-dimensional sculptures from map fragments and other ephemera. So pretty! [Via Seesaw Design]

Coriander shortbread sounds so delicious. (And looks it, too!) According to Jen from pieKnits, coriander seeds have a nutty aroma with citrus notes of the lemony/orange persuasion, and she was inspired by the flavors present in Belgian wheat beer. Check out the recipe for more info. [Via Craft Zine] 

 
JennSki has great taste in vintage. Her mid-century modern motifs are so on the mark! She's been collecting her Etsy faves on her blog, JennSki Studio. Check it out! 

Artist Jim Stoten (aka Jim the Illustrator) is so darn whimsical. I could rummage through his work all day. [Via This Isn't Happiness]

Fall is looking bold and metallic — at least according to Lanvin. Get ready to flash your bling! [Via Fops and Dandies] 

Did you have an awkward period? We've all been there! Show off your tortured Gummo years by contributing your photographic evidence to Awkweirds — you could be in the forthcoming book! Now to find the perm photo... [Via Design for Mankind]
