I may just name my firstborn Binki

I've always been one for the slow and some might say, or have said, the "depressing" variety. I find that last statement untrue, but none the less I found myself listening to the positively sunshiney and absolutely groovy tunes of Little Joy...

At the risk of looking like somebody's art teacher...

Since my first post was a brag about my newest bag, I figured I would express all the love in the world I have for the southwestern vibe I'm feeling these days... (maybe it's because I live in Colorado)

Etsession

I have a serious problem. This problem goes by the name of Etsy. A unique site with a cute look and easy format, it's a site designed around the artist and the craft, as well as an outlet for people selling vintage and antique goodies. The latter is where the problem lays most with me. I for one have always been a thrifter of sorts, and used to sell my own vintage finds on the site. Though I am currently taking a break, I am still sucked into the easiness of the find. Great tote bags, distressed leathers, plaids, boots, it never ends! And every time I log in lo and behold I find suggestions the site has provided to increase the shopping frenzy in me! Here's my latest wonderful purchase and I loooooooooove it...
