Oh Captain, My Captain



I <3 Handmade...

So unless you live under a rock I am sure you have heard of Etsy. I honestly can't tell you how long I have been an Etsyian because I switched my original account name and so my "joined date" is more of a "re-joined date". (I know it was pre-VA so that means more than four and a half years ago.)

Anyways, I am a lover of all things Etsy. Handmade makes me happy and I have bought a slew of gifts and great things from lovely Etsy stores. I am also a big believer in supporting small business, which is exactly what you are doing when you shop Etsy.

I decided to pick one day every week(ish) to spotlight different Etsy finds. 

I am also a big rule person, so here are the rules.
SN: I don't really like to follow rules as much as make them...but "you can't break it, till you make it" ~me.

1. I will use one word each time as the search term and will only pick items from the search list. (I found this neat little noun generator online so I will use that to pick my random word.)

Hmmm...yep that's my only rule. (for now)

Captain:


I am a beach person (being a native Floridian) so I was happy when this word popped up. 
CAPTAIN'S MERMAID
Gretchen von Eberstein 

When I was little I wanted to be a mermaid "when I grew up".  Hence the YAYA name.

Bella <3's this.

Sir Tom
Gentleman vs Octopus Kraken - Vintage Victorian Book Page Art Print Steampunk
The Curious Printery

I think these prints on pages like this are cool. Notice this page says "How to Preserve Your Health". (You like it even better now don't you?)

I really love this room. It makes me want to live with my Captain on the coast.
