Etc Featured Seller!

My creative entrepreneur du jour is The72Pin. Just look what this clever boots has done with Nintendo and Atari games! He has taken the mundane and turned it into something attractive and fashionable! How creative and inventive and oh so unique! My only question is why hasn't this wonderful seller been featured yet? There are already so many creative toy upcyclers galore, even celebrities are in on this hot new trend! Surely this artist should be featured too? He takes toy upcycling to a whole new and exciting level!

I am especially fond of this tres adorable Gameboy Advance necklace!



For a romantic evening, this NES Mario 3 Cartridge Necklace would be quite alluring!



Of course my husband, Mr. Etc, would probably love this necklace on me much more. It's a Fully Functional Super Nintendo Necklace! Though truly, faux fur and pearls are much more to my taste. I've never been a fishnet kind of girl. Still, that is what I live for...to please that man of mine!


The72Pin even has his own blog, just like me and his creative lady friend has her own calendar!!! Oh please, do be sure to give this enterprising duo a few minutes of your time to check out their sites and items! It's always so wonderful to find new and original artists!

Thank you to Callin' Out on Etsy for bringing this delightful seller to my attention!

Babes in toyland

Another treasury! How thrilling! I'm especially thrilled with this bright, colorful and childlike theme!!

I think it's so wonderful that they are finding fun and creative uses for their recently outgrown toys! Why, I can remember, as a young girl, loving my legos, wooden blocks, shrinky dinks! Who would have thought that with a little glue and and some glitter, they would get such a crafty second life as such artistically inspiring pieces? Mona Lisa, move over!

As usual, I've only picked the cream of the crop for my treasury. All of these funderful items were pulled straight out of Storque articles, gift guides, and editor's picks.


Be sure to drop by and say hello to "Ugly Things for Sale" Don't be fooled, she really has the most beautiful finds. She's just being modest! Click the photo below to view the site:
