I am not allowed to buy any more perfume until I have reviewed every single one that I just bought in the last two days.

Samples are dangerous, because they're SO CHEAP, and suddenly you've got 40 perfumes to try.

On a related note, everyone I've dealt with on etsy has been REALLY cool.

Sometimes a friend has an idea, and you are supportive because that's what friends do. Sometimes a friend makes something they're awfully proud of, and you don't like it, but you say that you do because you're being supportive.

That hardly ever happens to me. I am surrounded by some of the most talented and savvy people on the planet.

Case in point, my friend djinrain. She sews and designs clothes. She's got an etsy shop, and when she linked it, I went there to be polite. And my jaw dropped. And I was stunned. I had seen some of her work before, but my god, man. She makes fabulous and fancy underpants, corsets, collars, lacy girly things and in-your-face fancy.

I was perusing her etsy shop, and found her linked destash store full of bits and bobs and projects that didn't quite work out the way she wanted. One of the ideas she was toying with were these adorable little notecards with a word in Braille on them. She had two sets, "Joy" and "Thanks". I bought them both, they came today.



This, ladies and gents, is about actual size. THEY ARE SO SMALL AND CUTE!

If she ever puts them up again, you should get some. They are inexpensive and TOTALLY cater to the dollhouse-loving-itty-bitty-things-are-adorable factor.

Um. Earlier this week, I bought some really yummy perfume (this is my new favorite smell). Then yesterday, I bought some adorable Braille note cards from a really talented lady (I can't link the cards because I BOUGHT THEM ALL). I spent free time today shopping around an Etsy shop featuring really cute soaps (and I have a lot of the same molds but I use them for chocolate).

Holy crap. When did I become a girl?
