etsy LOVE

I have officially found a new obsession: Etsy. You can get the cutest artwork made by original artists, and usually for a good bargain. Since I recently moved into a new place with JPC I have had home decor on the mind. Below are some images of a few pieces I would like to own from one of my favorite sellers, The Love Shop who just so happens to be located in Melbourne, Australia. Since my place is currently "pre-furnished" and I do not wish to add any more holes to the wall, than I already have, I may have to hold off on ordering for awhile. I love the je taime print for a guest bedroom. The other two would look great in a cute home office or bedroom.

6 word love stories

i got Six Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak edited by Smith Magazine from MF for valentines day. i had heard about it on NPR right before and just finished reading all of them.

it is inspired by Ernest Hemmingway's short story "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn" heartbreaking

but the book is so good, you can find stories for any mood. some our sad, some funny, and some so inspiring.

some of my fav's are:

" Now married, kissing with eyes open" -Elissa Schappell
" He makes me laugh every day" -Detta Owens
" I want to flip my claddagh" -Joann Wang**
"Love, unreturned is still worth feeling" -Lisa Stanton
"Heartbroken, untill the bitch finally died" -Christopher Moore

MLF and i have been making our own. you should try it!
