Etsy Finds!
Thought it was time for another one.
First up, landarcht's White Sycamore shop has the most beautiful leather bags I've seen in a long time. They are updated editions of vintage styles.
Here are their versions of the mason's tool bag:
A mailman messenger bag, based on a 1950s version:
They have smaller leather goods, too.
I'm really hoping claymates pottery will make more of these hedgehog bowls:
This is an expense that really seems worth it to me. Linen is more absorbent than cotton, gets softer with each washing, and will outlast just about any other towel. These are made from high-quality Lithuanian linen and are 39" x 59". This shop also sells fabric, clothing, and table linens. Check it out.
MerinoMe's eco-friendly, handmade, machine-washable New Zealand wool leggings:
or gak. So cute!
My love for anatomical jewelry continues. Exhibit A:

Kittenpop is a dear friend of mine, and I am enchanted by her photography!
Hard choice between this pink elephant:

A silver heart locket from heron adornment.
I'll keep on adding more as I get inspired!

Lynda Barry
I'm a huge fan of cult cartoonist Lynda Barry. I was thrilled to stand behind her in line at the credit union in Chicago in the mid-1980s. Matt Groening proposed to her and she dated Ira Glass (who she identifies as her "worst boyfriend"). She! Is! So! Cool!
She was on npr's Talk of the Nation yesterday. I tuned in too late to hear the whole interview, but here's the archived audio. Brilliant and humane as always. I may need to try this to get out of my block.
Find her work at Powell's Books.
