You’re not buying it right? You see, the thing is, I had this whole post written in my head about chairs. I wrote it at 2 in the morning when I couldn’t sleep. It’s thrilling, trust me. Full of all those non sequiturs that come with sleep deprivation. (I also have a post about lubrication, but putting that  in the title seemed like a really stupid idea!)  And I meant to type it up and post it. But the day got away from me. And then this afternoon,  I found myself on the Front Page of Etsy, right before The Best of Etsy was supposed to air. Hundreds of views later, several special orders, and my wee envelopes nearly sold out (one set left, HURRY!), I’m pooped. The post about the chairs will have to wait.

Until then, I thought I’d post a bit of The Best of Etsy. I’ve totally fallen in love with Coqu-usagiuma-maho. Ok, I can’t pronounce it but I’m not letting that stop me!  This amazing little shop is a real find, full of stunning wood block prints and original water colors at prices even your economy challenged pocket-book can afford. It’s just the right kind of retail therapy. Fantastic items, terrific customer service, and no guilt trip.

My sweet painting arrived today and I’m completely smitten. It’s still in its protective sleeve until I can have it framed, but I thought I’d post a photo just the same. You know, as a distraction tactic. Is it working? Huh? Huh? Have you noticed that I haven’t posted in ages? Are you ready to forgive me?
