People really abuse the word "vintage."

"Omg, so vintage." NO NO. Just because you're a giant hipster, it doesn't mean that EVERYTHING is vintage! "Vintage" is a meaningless term that refers to no specific era that just means "old." Replace the word "vintage" with "old" and see what a tool you sound like, "Omg that coat is so old", "Omg that skirt is so old" SEE! It's DUMB! You don't get extra sophistication-points for labeling every-freaking-thing as vintage! 

End rant.

I've been spending way too much procrastination time on Pinterest.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

It irks me as well. Vintage shop = charity shop minus the proceeds going to charity.

I need this necklace. I found it on etsy.



Oh wow, a wee bookshelf! SO cool! :) Etsy is awesome, a friend got me into snooping around it because she sells crafts there.

Awww, that's cute!  There is some really neat stuff on Etsy, and some really bizarre stuff too.  Have you ever seen the website Regretsy?  Very funny.
