It's true, I'm all done with my Christmas shopping; thank you, Vistaprint and etsy.com. Yes, these are shameless plugs. Etsy is my favorite new thing; it's absolutely brilliant. It's a collection of individuals and small independent shops who sell handmade things, ranging from a typewriter converted to work as a desktop keyboard, to this shop of hats inspired by the '20s, to a really sweet little set of wooden blocks shaped like houses. I am completely in love with etsy. If I had a couple thousand dollars I would decorate my apartment just using etsy - if I had an apartment. Or money. Oh, details. Silly, silly details.
Things I particularly love: A shop that makes necklaces based on English literature, particularly Mr. Darcy. I kid not; I do not joke about Mr. Darcy. (Browse the rest of the shop; you will not be disappointed.) Then there's wall decals; so whimsical and beautiful! But then there's also a shop, in Tucson no less!, that prints pictures on pages from old books. And amazingly someone who knitted a dissected human head. (Not as gross as it sounds.) Discover the world of etsy for yourself; it's freakin' brilliant.

I know! They're amazing! I found a plush, stuffed Tardis, Dr. Who's spaceship. I love etsy so much I would marry it.
