random how awesome: moneybag wallet

how awesome is this wallet made by etsy's chakra pennywhistle from an actual retired money bag?

stumbled across her fantastic shop when i was catching up on the latest etsy front-page news - she's the current featured seller. read the interview here or check out her blog. love, love, love!

and oh - i want a money bag pillow so much. this one from the bank of nevada, please. ;-)

yay! made it to the front page.

so excited to make a placement on etsy's front page! check it out - handpicked items, inspired by spring:

that's my little creation - the leaf pin at first spot, second row. the front page changes fast (for good reason - there are so many amazing things on etsy to see & lust after & buy) so i had to track it down on flickr. quite amazing how much of a boost you get in views from being on the front page. i hope someone out there liked my little guy - oscar the happy leaf - enough to adopt him! ;-)

thanks muchly!
