Sooooooo, while yogic philosophy emphasizes minimalist lifestyle and the fact that "thing"....stuff....material goods...don't benefit us in any way and, essentially, only serve to feed the ego...I have to admit, I love stuff! I understand that I don't need it, I understand receiving it only provides me with temporary satisfaction, etc etc. BUT, I like it. And I feel like as long as I am conscious of the fact that getting and buying stuff doesn't actually make me happy, in the truest sense of the word, then I am go on admiring stuff and even occasionally getting stuff.
I also like procrastinating. You could even go so far as to say that I am an expert procrastinator. I have an article due for the paper in T-minus 1 hour, yet I just put muffins in the oven (mmmm, gluten free banana!) and am browsing Etsy like a flippin' hawk. And now, just for the fun of it, I'm gonna share some good Etsy finds.....all stuff I would like. All stuff I won't buy ::sigh::
Heeeeeeeeere we go!
These hoops are made in copper with sterling silver ear wires. The hoop has been hammered for texture. Hoop diameter is about 5/8" (1.6cm).

I'm pretty sure I don't even need to explain why this rocks.

Sparkler! Take off the type and you've got a beauty.

Are you serious?! If someone gave me a leather-bound journal with my name on the spine...I would probably need a paper bag to hyperventilate into, due to utter excitement.

Genius! Again, a DIY project I may have to dip into this summer.
***
Pretty darn cool....plus 1985 is on it, which makes it even cooler.

Contrary to what some friends n' family may say about me, I DO know the difference between need and want, and I am quite sure I need this lil' item here. Yep, quiiiiiiite sure.

Lego Man Crayons
Kickass. Seriously.

So simple, so quirky, so cool. Scrolling through Etsy is giving me lots of fun project ideas...

I would gladly have one of these in my apt

So sweet, sweet pea. Also, would be pretty simple to make.

Ok, I could do this for a very, very long time...but muffins are ready to come out of the oven and now that I've procrastinated a bit, my brain has re-booted and I am ready to worky work again.
Hope you all have a delightful Friday

yup! know you like 'things' but they are not extravagant - don't you think the intent and the manner in which one procures things is so very telling - but another window into the person. Hey, we're people.
