Wow, I didn’t realize Etsy was so onto it!

Check out their front page selection this morning, carefully timed to coincide with the New York Times feature on Steampunk.

I love the Steampunk look, and if I wasn’t so old and entrenched in suburbia I just might have dabbled… 

In any case, the petticoats (and I would want to wear petticoats and corsets) would get in the way of chasing after the kids. 

While on the subject of Etsy (but no longer on the subject of Steampunk, which I think I will just continue to admire from afar), I came home with some amazing estate finds on Saturday and I have been busy preparing them for sale in my store. I just posted these beautiful glasses, for example, which I love love love! But I found so much stuff that I just couldn’t keep it all.

Especially as I also bought myself a set of 64 crystal glasses from the same source. There is a glass in there for every occasion, including occasions we never have, and it seems the previous owner never had either. Just how many glasses do we need anyway?  I feel so greedy and decadent! 

But they match! Match! Imagine that!
