Tilda Swinton x5

How amazing and beautiful is this woman. I loved her in Michael Clayton and I'll never forget her in Orlando. Tilda Swinton is on a double cover of Dazed and Confused this month. I found some more mindblowing pics of ms. Swinton:

Simply Beautiful: Lost things with Mr. Yen

Euroweek on Etsy

Slowly but surely I'm turning into a real Etsy seller. And by that I mean someone who knows their way around the great Etsy virtual labs, chats on the forums and drools over the 'quit your day job' interviews. Not to mention rejoicing in my sales as I've sold much better then I ever expected.

Etsy is still very much an America-focussed website. The Etsy powers that be want to change that since many Europeans and Asians are also finding their way to the site. That's why from March 22nd till the 27th, Etsy goes Europe.  Here are some of my favorite Etsy items by European sellers.

Eeeek I'm a shop owner now!!!! x5

I'd been thinking about this for a while: I really like vintage stuff, why don't I start an online shop? A first I thought E-bay was the perfect place. And to be honest I did make some nice sales via E-bay....but I wanted a goodlooking shop, not just some auction site. So I decided to move to Etsy. This pas weekend I uploaded my first pieces of jewelry and already made some sales! The next coming weeks I'll be uploading lots of more cool stuff... like this:
