Cloud 9 and a half

One of the best things about having a store like this and making things for other people to enjoy is when they take a few minutes out of their day to write a note telling me how I made their day. When creativity is being elusive, it's a much needed lift.

Karina,

I absolutely LOVE my necklace!  Words cannot describe how excited I was today to open my package -- something similar to a child at Christmas, I imagine.  I've already received so many compliments on it.

Thank you so so so much!  I absolutely adore everything about it!  Leaving feedback shortly.

Seven Deadly Sins

I've come across a couple of ways that people are having fun with the traditional concept of the Seven Deadly Sins.

trixiedelicious' vandalized vintage plates are equally fun for a dessert party or as tongue-in-cheek wall art. The hand-painted text is food safe, though hand washing is recommended, and each plate comes with a display hanger. The store has two sets available at the moment. The set pictured is currently listed at $135 plus shipping. And if you feel the need to round out this set with a set of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, she's got you covered there, too.


Charm bracelets are always fun and never go out of style. This one by justbedesigns is a playful take on just what those seven deadlies might get you into. This is substantial and definitely a conversation piece. At an adjustable 8 inches, each one inch cabochon labeled with a sin has a corresponding pewter charm. Seven Deadly Sins Charm Bracelet is listed at $43 plus shipping.

MercuryPotions is in the midst of formulating a line of scents for the Seven Deadly Sins, and there are currently four available. At $6 plus shipping for 5ml, this is a very affordable (and less obvious!) way to have fun with such a taboo subject.

Gray Skies and Brown Coats

Part of me loves things that are structured and timeless and there's another part of me that loves things that are falling off my body when I wear them. The two don't mesh well and I have a closet that reflects those divergent moods. Woe is me.

However, nothing bad has ever happened to me for loving London Fog. When it comes to jackets, they merge everything. I love jackets and coats and even though I live in one of the warmest states in the continental US, I hoard jackets like they're going to save me from an impending nuclear holocaust.

This one reminds me of several of my favorite characters: Columbo, John Constantine, and Castiel from Supernatural. Someone get this, so that I don't have yet another coat. Do it for me. Available at Etsy store IKAHN.
