Etsy goodness

I adore getting mail, and I mean real mail, like handwritten letters and packages, not advertisements and bills. That’s probably why I have a ton of magazine subscriptions and do so much online shopping: for the thrill of opening a package. I got to do just that today. A new tschotchke came to live with me.

It’s a vintage Avon cream container from Elizabeth Wren Vintage, and the inside still smells faintly of cream. I can’t decide if that’s cool or kind of icky. Here are my two tschotchkes getting acquainted.

I also got some new beads for a project that I will probably never finish.

Or begin, for that matter.

These are from SupplyPusher. I’m not quite sure what I’ll do with them, but they reminded me of Mexico so I had to snap them up. She also thew in some freebie beads, which I was stoked about.

If any of you are craftier-than-thou, I’d appreciate some suggestions.
