Video: Rethink Scholarship

This is a great video; I love the message and style. Enjoy, my friends!

This is a video from Langara College made by Rethink Communications via elephanta.

Artist Highlight: yardia

Okay, here are the reasons that I am currently madly in love with yardia's etsy shop.

1. I am a huge literature geek. I majored in English in college. I love reading. I adore the smell of books. Especially the old ones bound in magic and dust.
2. I love quotes. Especially quotes from good literature.
3. All yardia's prints and cards are gocco. I'm cheating on my love of books by having an affair with gocco. My fiance proposed to me with a gocco machine (a ring did come later).

So yeah, this shop is awesome. Check it out. Like now.

Penny for Your Thoughts

by RockYourWire - $17.50

It's Friday afternoon. I hope you are thinking of good things, perhaps spending time with loved ones this weekend? Of creating, of dreaming, of drinking coffee and reading a good book? Here are a few things that are on my mind (in no particular order):

- that I have a fresh treasure trove of books from the library
- wondering what my fiance and I are going to do on valentine's day (last year, we went to a ceramic store and painted figurines - AWESOME date!)
- trying to ignore the hypocrisy of reading a book about procrastination while surrounded by a complete mess
- a long list of prayer intentions, especially the people of Haiti.

What are you thinking about? Please share in the comment section... :) Have a good weekend!

Shop Highlight: The Little Red Door

This Etsy shop, thelittlereddoor, is just adorable. Miniature little houses, dipping bowls, etc. create a magical atmosphere. Can I order a big house to live in...? Please?

Hearts for Haiti on Etsy

I just found this AWESOME etsy shop - a bunch of etsy-ers gathered to help a good cause. Make sure you check this shop out!!!

This is an Etsy collective of donated items from hundreds of Etsy shops to raise money to rebuild Haiti. 100% of the proceeds from this shop (minus Etsy fees and Paypal fees) go directly to DoctorsWithoutBorders (http://doctorswithoutborders.org ) in bi-monthly increments. This shop has permission to use the DoctorsWithoutBorders name and a separate bank account and Paypal account have been opened to maintain the integrity of this shop.

Items have been donated from many individual shops; each shop has included their particulars ( country, shipping time) in each listing. All items include seller-donated free shipping (most worldwide, see individual listing) because the need is SO great, we want you to buy and help support Etsians helping Haiti. The theme for the next few weeks is on heart items but we have more than just that. Please browse our sections to the right and know that your purchase in this shop not only gets you a great Etsy item but it also helps alleviate the needs in Haiti through donations to DoctorsWithoutBorders (MedicinesSansFrontiers ).

If you would like to donate an item to HeartsForHaiti.etsy.com, please send an email to etsyforhaiti [!at] gmail.com for a copy of the donation guidelines.

We can make a difference, together :)

Haiti Relief on Etsy

We Interrupt This Broadcast...

hand screenprinted fabric by summersville $6.99

We interrupt today's (and perhaps the rest of the week's postings) due to some computer errors that need fixing. My handsome boy suggested a tune-up and I don't argue with my computer genius. :) So, I bid you adieux and I will hopefully be back very, very soon.

UPDATE: My compy is feeling much better now. Thanks to my boy who spoke techn-ish to the computer people and now all is right in TDE-land. I love my guy.

Imagine how your life would be if you lived what you loved, what you believe in. If your life was a solid testament to your ideals, your faith, your core as an individual. This is a simple poster to remind you that sometimes the simple joys of life are the most important. So savor that kiss with your honey, get covered in glue and paper, run barefoot through the mud, and tell your family how much you love them.
