Mario & Friends Treasury

A few days ago I was brainstorming ideas for new sets of Russian Dolls and I realised I still haven't done a Mario themed set! I've been a big lover of Nintendo games (particularly Mario games) since childhood, so I'm pretty sure I need to make myself a set when I get time.

In the mean time, I've been scouring Etsy for the cutest possible Mario & Nintendo themed goodies. Here's my favs:

1. Shhh Couture Latex / 2. Art by Ken / 3. loopzart / 4. the Gorgonist / 5. Bunny Bumm / 6. Could Bee Yours / 

7. How Do i Rock / 8. Cute Memories / 9. Olechka Design

Mad Men Treasury

I always seem to be the last person to get into all these big tv series'. I've finally started watching Mad Men, I seem to have managed to watch a whole two seasons in two days while doing my painting.

While I'm not as obsessed with it as I have been with Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad & Carnivale, it seems to be the perfect show to watch while I'm doing work. Plus, I get a bit of a kick out of all of the sexist comments. I love how one guy on the show compared hearing a woman say something clever to watching a dog play a piano.

One thing I do LOVE about the show though is the clothes they wear, particularly Christina Hendricks. Here's some of my fav Mad Men inspired items on Etsy.

1. usbtypwriter / 2. blackrufflebrigade / 3. Katarina Couture / 4. The Headmistress / 5. Rekindled Passions / 

6. Cyberoptix / 7. Michelle Tan / 8. Collectable Spectacle /  9. gogo vintage

Game Of Thrones Treasury!

Lately I've become a bit of a Game of Thrones geek. I'm not a fan of fantasy type shows or anything with dragons (or Sean Bean, lol) in really, but after a few months of listening to everyone go on about how awesome the show was I decided to give it a try. I'm now completely hooked! I've even started reading the books.

It's great catching up on a show that already has a couple of series out, because it means I can watch them back to back and become a recluse for a few days. Now I'm up to date with it all I hate waiting a week between episodes! So while I've been waiting for the next episode, I've been browsing Etsy for lots of Game of Thrones loveliness. Here's my favs:

1. The Black Cat Pendants / 2. kateslittlestore / 3. The Designers Nursery / 4. Lullaby Mobiles / 5. Paper Paper / 

6. Captured My Soul / 7. Fencing & Archery / 8. Haz-matic Designs / 9. BCoArt
