Path of the Beam

PathOfTheBeam, a unique shop full of beautiful handmade designed bottles. If you're like me and love all types of bottles and containers you may want to check this nifty shop out. This Etsy seller is making good use of all of those pretty glass bottles and jars so that they are not just gorgeous but also functional. This shop has lighted bottles and incense burners.

I was sent this super cool, super nerdy, Bobba Fett lamp. This lamp is made from a big glass wine jug with a textured painting of the infamous bounty hunters helmet. The painting itself is an exact replica of the actual mask but because of the texture and method used on the bottle it looks just like an old busted up helmet: like the real thing! The lid of the bottle was also painted and the bottles handle is adorned with this delicate gold heart. This lamp is the perfect addition to our home and emits a luminous glow and is very calming or romantic.

MollysMiniStuff - Creepy, Cute and Creepily Cute!

MollysMiniStuff is a shop full of adorable mini creatures and some are even creepy! This shop has things like "Five Nights at Freddy's" fan art, creepypastas, anime chibis, and more. All with a unique authentic art style.

This little guy here is a chibi cat boy made of polymer clay. This little figurine has very good details but is also a nice simple design with minimal flaws. The sturdiness is great for being such a small, delicate thing. It doesn't bend or anything so I am sure it will actually last a while, unlike some other smaller clay items that you have to be extremely careful with. Which is good for me because just incase my little ones somehow figure out a way to get near it, it will be able to withstand some ruckus.

The second item I ordered from this shop are these precious "We Bare Bears" stacked earrings. These earrings are so cute! We Bare Bear just aired not too long ago but I am obsessed so I just had to have these cuties. Since they are homemade they are even cuter than the real characters on TV!

These little guys may be small but they surely do not lack in detail (or cuteness!). I am so happy with the quality of these darling littles.

Love video games? Love cool things? Love wood stuff?

MatkThomasCreations on Etsy is a great shop for cosplayers and video game fanatics. This is the first shop that have seen cosplay items from things like Sly Cooper and Crash Bandicoot. There are many more items in this shop ranging from Pokemon to God of War to Avatar and Jak & Daxter. 

This Poke ball was my first item from this shop. I really love the authenticity of the ball and it actually opens! This was such a great find, the last time I had one of these babies was back in the 90's! This really brings back the good ol' times, haha.

Also, the writing etched on the ball in Japanese indicates which Pokemon belongs to each ball. How cute?! This would be perfect for those super nerdy proposals you see on Pinterest all of the time. Just add a little cushion inside for the ring!

The second item I had received from this shop is this wonderful Firefly symbol plaque. This is a pretty rare item as it seems no one really makes any of "The Last of us" items. Which I cannot understand, because that is one of my all time favorite games! (It just grinds my gears, ya know?) That is why I was so happy to find this shop and this item specifically. Also the plaque is an exact replica of the symbol it also has the perfect spray paint "apocalypse" look that really ties it all together and makes it look like it is really from the game.

This store was a definite great find. I hope to one day buy some of their more cosplay weapon type items since they are so detailed and realistic. If you would like to check out more of their super cool items, click here!

Hand poured custom candles

You know what? Forget Yankee Candles! They can get outta here! Because, I have found the most amazing smelling candles ever, and they are right here, in this great little Etsy shop! 

When I first saw the listings of this shop, I figured I might as well give them a try, "They can't be too bad," I thought to myself, "Plus they're in Mason jars!"

So of course I had to pick out the most cute fall candles which were, "Candy Corn" and "Witches Brew". (Okay, okay, I know I'm obsessed...) 

Anyways these candles shipped right to me in a couple of days and I was actually surprised. The candles were in absolutely perfect condition and looked just great! Plus, bonus points for packing peanuts! (since they're fun to play with) But I digress, once I opened the box I was immersed in this wonderful scent. Keyword: immersed, not assaulted like most candles. Maybe I just have a sensitive nose? Either way there are some candles out there that make every ones head spin. Oh, but not these precious babies. 

They have the most wonderful (and gentle) smell. They fill the whole room with their pleasant aroma in seconds without even lighting them. They are very easy on the nose but are very detectable. This is the perfect balance for someone like me because even most perfumes make me gag, ugh. But I just love fragrances especially when it comes to my home. 

These candles are hand poured into gorgeous mason jars with love and happiness. You can really tell these people knew what they were doing when making these beauties.

AbsurdiTeesCO - Etsy

AbsurdiTeesCO

(awesome shop name points x10)

AbsurdiTeesCO is an Etsy store with its own very unique t-shirt art style. I ordered this awesome "Fall Out Boy" tee (seen below) from this shop and I am so happy of the accuracy of the emblem. This shirt is great for being handmade, it looks just how it is supposed to and at half the price! The paint on the shirt has lasted through a many few cycles in my washer and dryer (which can be super harsh on clothes) so I know they are going to last and look great for a very long time. Plus I have gotten so many compliments on this shirt, a lot of people don't realize that it is handmade until I tell them!

(handsome man not included) 

I also received a very cute little cactus tee  that I gave as a present to my young sister in law and she just loved it! These shirts are made very well and definitely do not look as if they will wash off or ware. Plus, the paint gives a really cool 3D looking texture which is something you don't see often on tees. The shop has even more great (tumblr~esque) t-shirt designs that could be great for anyone. Especially t-shirt addicts, like myself. I mean, who can really have too many band tees... I've never heard of such a thing!

(handsome man not included)

Definitely go check out this great Etsy shop for more amazing designs! I am sure you'll find something you love!

Rustic Home Decor, Incense Burners, and Glassware

ERB on Etsy is the best place for anyone who loves rustic designs and/or cares for the environment (that would be both for me). 

This shop is filled with wonderful, high quality, handmade items for very reasonable prices. I received two beautiful items from this shop and was surprised to see how great the products had been made. I mean, this person really takes their time when making these items, I found no flaws! You can really see the love put into these beautiful items.

The incense burner that I received was even better than it had looked on the internet. It has a beautiful shiny finish and has a hidden compartment to hold extra incense cones that closes with a cork (which I didn't actually know before hand, but was excited to find out about). 

This lovely incense burner would be a gorgeous addition to anyone's home and will definitely last a lifetime. It kind of gives a very cute, cottage-like vibe or even a woodsy cabin look. You could also use it as  beach decor like drift wood.

The second item I ordered was a charming little recycled Tabasco bottle candle. The candle is made of pure soy wax and has a wonderful cinnamon smell that isn't too overpowering. The candle came in looking wonderful! The seller let me know that weather change could possibly change the color of the wax but it ended up arriving just perfect! I was so happy to receive this candle because I love Tabasco (and many other spicy things) and thought it was very clever. This shop also has many other recycled bottle candles which make nice gifts for anyone who may like to drink or just loves beer bottle logos, like myself.

If you're like me and like to buy Christmas presents early, click here for some great items for a great price to maybe give you some ideas.

I mean, this charming shop has great products for anyone and the seller was very pleasant and informative. You will not be disappointed when visiting this lovely shop. 

TheManaPoolBazaar - Etsy

TheManaPoolBazaar

Dive in for all your fandom needs!

TheManaPoolBazaar (extra points for awesome name) is a one stop shop for just about any nerd/geek. This shop has jewelry of all kinds of fandoms: books, movies, videos, ect. They also just make whimsical jewelry like the beautiful moon necklace that I ordered.

The moon has a silver vine-like design giving it a kind of Celtic look. The inner charm is of beautiful stars and nebula. This item is definitely a very often complimented piece of mine now, most everyone seems to ask about it. The necklace is great just to wear regularly but would be great for any space or elvish type cosplay. 

Now the second item was an amazing piece. Although the chain on the end did eventually come off, it wasn't actually needed to fit comfortably. The band used for the bracelet was a very nice quality and lasts well even in water. The charm is the wolf crest from Final Fantasy's Cloud. I haven't actually been able to find much Final Fantasy merch before so I was so happy to see this shop had it. (points for rare item) 

I do have to say, I was impressed with this shop's merchandise. The only bad thing that happened was the chain on the bracelet fell off but that ended up not actually being a problem.

 I would really recommend this shop to anyone there is really something for everyone there. Plus, the seller was extremely nice and shipping did not take long at all. And the attitude of a nice seller just absolutely makes my day! We need more positive people like them! 

Anyways, here is a link to this rad shop, check it out.

ClassicScifi - Etsy Review

ClassicScifi

Graphic tees proudly designed and printed in New Jersey

Who else is ready for Halloween? Cause I know I am! I donut care that it is just now August...

This is my favorite time of year that is why during the last day of July, I go into full spoopy mode. I may also be spooky here and there all year round but around this time of year I definitely kick it up a notch! Because of this, once I found this amazing Etsy shop, I just could not resist! There are so many nerdy, and cool sci fi things in this shop! It is the ultimate sci fi shop, and you'll never have to shop anywhere else for all your sci fi and horror needs, trust me. They have stuff for everyone in this shop, not to mention their website. Which also has many other cool things for sci fi fanatics like a categorized movie search (aliens, ghost stories, end of the world, gory, ect) and articles, photos, and reviews. This site is overall incredible and I am surprised I hadn't heard of it before now (hidden gem points+ !!!) This sites movie suggestions are also great for those people who have finished almost everything on Netflix.

Anyways I'd like to get back the Etsy shops items that I actually ordered. 

Just look at these scary dudes! All of these wonderfully spooky coasters have original art, how creative are they? They are also made with a dye sublimated hardboard face and a cork backing. The stand that comes with the coasters is pure mahogany and will more than likely last a lifetime along with the coasters. The images on the coasters are so crisp and beautiful, they almost make you forget that you're looking at a homicidal maniac! 

Just look at those handsome faces!

Mmm, pumpkin!

What is so wonderful about these coasters is that you won't be able to find them anywhere else, they are truly one of a kind. These beauties are going to last many years to come and I am so happy to add them into my home! 

Now, to the other beautiful item that I received. I have recently just started watching HBO's Game of Thrones (and finished. <insert somber face here>). The reason I waited so long is because I just didn't think it was much worth watching. Obviously, if you have seen even one episode, you know I was absolutely dead wrong. And now I have an obsession with Kahleesi. (Yaaaasss queen!) So when I saw this item in the shop, and knowing how well this shop's artwork turns out, I just had to have it.

Mother of dragons (AKA meee!)

So this tote bag ended up being bigger and better than I had thought. This was hard to get a full picture of, it was so big. The artwork on the bag is beautiful, it looks like an actual patented GOT item but for probably half the price. 

I am so happy to have found this amazing Etsy shop and website, I wish I could just spend my whole paycheck there! The seller was so nice and has such a wonderful shop (I cannot stress this enough!) and brilliant artwork. Please go and check out this shop, it is perfect for stocking up presents for Christmas time! (I'm already getting ready for that too, haha!)
