AureolinArt


Amazing crochet designs at reasonable prices, this is the perfect shop for Pokemon fans and plush lovers alike.



This is the absolutely adorable Pokemon, Pumpkaboo. This cutie came with its own little Pokeball home. 



Pumpkaboo is one of my very favorite Pokemon of all time and not a lot of merchandise is made of them, or they're not nearly as accessible as something like a Pikachu (which is a crime, I know) so I was so happy AuredlinArt had one! 



This crocheted beauty is a wonderful design and looks exactly like the Pokemon itself. I love how it looks and how well done it is. I cannot imagine crocheting something this well myself and I am so happy that there are people out there like this who can.


 

The Pokeball fits perfectly over the Pumpkaboo and is kept in place with a little white crocheted ring. This design is incredible and it actually looks really great. This could also be a pretty cool "coin" purse if you like to keep your little critters out. Also, keep in mind, this seller makes all kinds of different Pokemon. Plus I am sure you could request one if you cannot find it already in the store. If you want to check out what they've got, click here!

Kung Fuse

I cannot get over these adorable small creations from KungFuse on Etsy. I love the great detail in each design they make even though they are mini!


These are the witchy cauldron earrings in black with toxic green brew. I really loved how small these are and yet so very detailed. I think these are such little lovely additions to any low key Halloween or witchy ware.



This Sailor Moon wand brooch s perfect to let everyone know you sailor scout status. The small size of this piece is great if you like to just cover your things in buttons but also if you're more into just having one small merch item to show your appreciation. 



Here are the companion cube earrings from the game Portals (one of my favorites).  I love to wear these so much I love the cute little hearts and that is gaming related. I think this seller did a wonderful job showing all the details with such small beads. Every piece I received from them was gorgeous and actually held up  very well.  I haven't experienced anything wrong with these amazing products whatsoever.

Embrace your inner n00b, we all have one!


One item I ordered from this rad plush shop is this large turquoise Splatoon plush - This wonderful creation is huge, it was hard taking photos of it. I ordered it in this beautiful turquoise color and it just looks so great! This plush is nice and soft and made to look exactly like the Splatoon squids.


I love the size of this plush, it makes an awesome cuddle companion and would look great on your bed. The plush will make a perfect gift for a Splatoon lover in your life. 


Another thing that I really loved about this squid is the wonderfully soft minky tentacles. Minky is one of my most favorite fabrics and one of the softest in the world, plus the little bumps kind of makes it look like the tentacles have stickers! The only issue I had with this plush though, was that the tentacles seemed like they may be easy to pull off so I went ahead and stitched them to be a little more secure. A minor problem for this wonderful plush. Just make sure if you're gifting it to a younger child to stitch as well or request it to the seller who is very nice and I am sure will help with that.


This is the last item which is a little Inkling that I ordered and I got it in pitch black (because pitch black everything). This one is more of a felt like fabric and doesn't have the large tentacles like the first. Also, as you can see above, it is very small. I love this cute little guy and I just love the way the black looks. But beware, dog and cat hair loves to cling to this cutie!

Satisfy your inner otaku | geek | nerd



BonkersYounkers, the best fleece blanket shop on the internet! I ordered this super cool Full Metal Alchemist fleece throw from this awesome shop and cannot express how much I love it! (But I sure will try!)

(Here you can see my small chair that the blanket abundantly covers)

This fleece blanket is my new favorite item. And since it has been colder outside this throw has become my best friend for cuddle weather.

 This shop would make a great gift stop for the holidays coming up and anyone can use a blanket! Plus everyone knows that one person who is always cold (even if that is you), I'm sure they'd appreciate it too. When I got this blanket, I was even more impressed than before seeing that it was much bigger than what I had thought. I was so scared that I wasn't going to like this blanket because of past blankets I have bought that ended up being too scruffy and irritating my skin but it turned out to be so incredibly soft and cozy. I have ran it through the wash a couple of times and it still feels brand new. The emblem design is nicely minimal and placed elegantly on the bottom corner and the color scheme is perfect for the Full Metal theme it has. The logo has held up very well and won't be coming off any time soon.



Like I said, this throw is quite large, it covers my entire full sized bed. This blanket, unlike regular throws, covers more than my whole body and keeps me super warm at night. It is also really great to have while binge watching anime's or Netflix. You can get these throws with many different logos with corresponding color schemes that could really match anyone's style. The shop owner was also incredibly nice and very quick with shipping. I'm not usually impatient but it is nice to not have to wait too long, especially when it's an item this great!

FlowerInspired is a really wonderful gem to have found and I am  very glad I have. This is one of those great shop that has a unique one of a kind theme and kind of sticks around that but it never gets over done because of the creativity this person has in their items. I think it is wonderful when there are artists like this who can make many things without reusing old designs and are just full of creativity. When you look in this shop it's like you've been transported to a  wonderful fairy/woods like wonderland full of magical designs. This shop not only has beautiful products but the stock photos are gorgeous as well. This shop has a whole theme and looks lovely and uniform. I would say that this artist will one day have one of the most more recognized shops on Etsy.



The first item I got from this shop are these adorable mini pinecone dangle earrings. These are perfect to wear around fall and winter time but will look great for any fairy or woodland cosplays. The pinecones are very sturdy and do not crumble like regular pinecones do. I was so afraid I was going to break them by just getting them out of the package but was impressed (not to mention relieved) that they were stronger than they looked.


These are some very unique yet simple earrings, they really bring an outfit together. I love they way they look plus I have always really loved small versions of things so these are perfect for me. 


The next item is this amazing feathered ear cuff. It is made of wire wrapped feathers attached to a cuff that fits nicely to your ear. The wire has no sharp ends and doesn't squeeze your ear while wearing it. You just have to be careful not to get it in your hair!


This cuff is very well made and fits super comfortably on just about anyones ears. The piece is also pretty adjustable as well and easily styled. 


I see these types of pieces being used at festivals, EDC, coachella, and Halloween. They would also be great for a lot of cosplays but can be worn on any other day too. This ear cuff makes anyone look mystical, magical, and lovely.


This artist make many other awesome ear cuffs and jewelry in their shop, all worth taking a look at. If you'd like to see more gorgeous pieces, click here!

Adorn Your Frames

This wonderful shop is what I found looking for sunglasses and turns out that they have more to offer than just that.


These cute items are like little emblems for your sunglasses. To be honest, I had no idea that they made things like this but I am so happy to know about them now because I just love to add flair to everything and these little gems are such a fun thing to add to your glasses. They're like an accessory for your accessories! 


And not only does this shop have wonderful eye glass accessories but they make some really great  sunglasses as well. As you can see in the photo above of the purple half rimmed glasses I ordered from them, I have yet to find another pair like them and I am in love with the way they look. I get a real coachella vibe from these shades, they'd be perfect for any festival looks, and even for EDC.


They are very boho chic and go great with many different outfits. These glasses definitely get noticed when I am out and about. I really like to put the smiley face on them to give an even more "hippie" look.



I'm obsessed with the pitch black skulls that I ordered too, they give a really cool edgy look to any pair of glasses. The charms really look great on my husbands all black aviators.


This Etsy seller really doesn't miss a beat when it comes to interests, there is probably a charm for kust about anyone in this shop and not to mention their high fashion glasses. The charms and the sunglasses can make wonderful gifts for loved ones or yourself. Check them out for more of their amazing products!

Perler art for all your gaming and twitch needs



Just in time for Halloween! This poison apple perler (left) is gorgeous. It is a great replica from Disney's Snow White but in it's own design. The perler on the right is also a reference item from a show on TwitchTV that I actually have not seen yet. I still really love it and it reminds me somewhat of the dark brotherhood of Skyrim. 


 I love that these perler pieces can be used for Halloween decor but also be used year round. One of the best things about these perlers are that they are full melt. I cannot stress enough how important that is to me. This method keeps the beads nicely together and makes them more stable and less breakable. That way you don't only have to put them up in frames or anything but you can use them in other ways like fridge magnets or even on garlands. I will say though, the stem of the poison apple is a little on the weaker side and I am afraid it will not last so I could suggest adding more beads to it or if you don't want to lose the aesthetic, glue it with some strong glue. Other than that, I love these little edgy designs. They look lovely as decorations and could look really great in DIY mixed media art. This shop also has such great items that I know could make perfect gifts.

All in all though these perlers are great and this shop makes some really wonderful designs that are totally worth buying. To check out their rad creations, click here!

Handmade copper shoe wings. These unique beauties are a new kind of jewelry statement! I love the whole idea of these shoe wings and their lovely rustic and rose goldish look. They actually have a good weight to them but aren't too heavy to wear, I really like putting them on my glossy black combat boots, they give the most lovely contrast.


I always get looks of wonder when I wear these out. I'm sure that, just like me, no one has seen anything like them. 


They really add an extra wow factor to  my outfits and I just love to feel like a fairy of some kind. These take my outfits to a whole other level and would make an awesome gift for someone who likes to dress funky like me.


The quality of the wings are great, they have a nice rustic look to them and would even look great for a steampunk cosplay or costume. Though they are still a great looking for any other everyday outfit. These are made out of great quality copper, just like all of the other items in their shop.

Kawaii Decals

This shop has the best anime, and kawaii decals I have yet to see! They have so much detail and are still not too over complicated. They look like the animators drew them themselves!


This gnarly decal is of Erin in his titan form from Attack on Titan. I love the profile of this crazy looking giant and his huge toothy smile.This is a perfect look for this character. I also really love the dark maroon color that I ordered it in, it makes it look so nice and crisp.


Now here is an awesome decal of Soul from Soul Eater. This shows his outfit and sharp toothed smile and lazy attitude. This decal seems like it would be too detailed and hard to apply but it worked out just fine and the end result is perfect.


 This is Natsu from Fairy Tail, a pink haired dragon boy, which is why I ordered him in all pink. This is such a cute decal. All of these decals were extremely easy to use even with all of the details and lines I had no trouble at all applying them. They have also shown to be very secure and can definitely last a long time. I am so happy with these wonderful decals. If you're interested in seeing more of this kind of decal, click here!

Where Madness Meets Creativity

Original and nerdy perlers are made here with awesome quality and creativity. I ordered two products from Quite8bitMad and am so happy with them. 

 

These perlers are a really cool versions of my favorite character from the story of Alice and Wonderland. These two are the two different Disney versions cats of the story. The one on the left being the Tim Burton's grey and blue Cheshire version and the one on the right is the classic purple/pink Cheshire. I was very impressed with the creativity of the perlers and how wonderful they look especially since their fronts are fully melted.

(This is the back of the perler)

These perlers are made as full melts which I feel makes them very sturdy and are sure to last a long while. I would say that they are medium sized about the size of the palm of my hand. They are made to look like twins with very cheeky smirks, classic Cheshire. I really love the designs of their eyes, smile, and that they both match.

(This is the back of the perler)

This store has many other great and original designs to choose from ranging through video games, movie characters, and superheros. If you'd like to see their wonderful creations, click here!
