<---- Look how adorable this is! It's a tiny handmade chair! Stands at only three inches tall, and made by urbangipsy. It's called "Chair In Bloom." It's made with glass, vintage lace and paper, a little hummingbird and brass leaf, and hand painted metal soldered together to form a tiny collage chair! And... it even comes with its own tiny room!

I just discovered this yesterday, and urbangipsy has more chairs like this, in different themes (definitely check them out in her store!), and they all come with their own little room as well!

They are all one of kind, yet very affordable. And they're small enough that they'll fit into any space (or into a dollhouse if that's where you want to put them)

A very unique, ridiculously awesome find!

The moment I saw this dress I knew it had to go in here. It's just too awesome not to. Toolgrrl has many art dresses like this one, which have been featured in museums and galleries, and now they're for sale on Etsy!

Called "Scapular Art Dress," the design is built over a vintage slip. All of her art dress are anatomically inspired. She appliques fabric in anatomical designs that make you look like you're wearing your insides on your outside.

This one is called "scapular" because of the spacula appliques on the back. This dress is more skeletal based, while the other dresses have different anatomical themes, like the lungs, or the circulatory system.

Each one is totally unique, and whether you plan on wearing it (it is totally wearable, which is a lot to be said for art dresses in general) or displaying it, you'll be getting a totally awesome, one of a kind piece. Definitely check out all the dresses in Toolgrrl's shop.

Also, sorry for the wonky layout, the way blogger inserts multiple pictures into the blog window makes the text self-adjust in a crazy way, and there's no way you can adjust it. And then of course blogger does some funky things to your spacing after you publish it, and it ends up looking nothing like how you typed it! (Anyone know what I'm talking about?) I'm still trying to figure out how I can get around it.

I have MORE ridiculously awesome items from Etsy lined up for the next couple days! ♥

I love Steampunk and industrial inspired pieces. I even have watch parts and hands that I like to use in jewelry I make. But this... this just... completely blows my mind.

I've decided I'm going to try to do the whole "Ridiculously Awesome" thing everyday now, because it's so much fun to have daily awesomeness!

I've decided I'm going to post a "ridiculously awesome" item a few times a week. No, these items are not necessarily ridiculous... they're just ridiculously awesome!

Today's item comes to you from vintagerenaissance. I don't even remember how I originally found it, but I remembered that I had this in my favorites when I went to go write this post.

Called The Tea Set Lamp, this seller makes lamps using vintage dishes. And you can have them painted in pretty much whatever color you like! The dishes have nice detail without being too crazy, and the way they're stacked is so cool.

Definitely a unique piece that you could put a fun lampshade on and have it be the focus of that room.

Also, their Vintage Suitcase Pet Beds are so unique, and the kitten in the pictures is adorable. This seller has a knack for giving vintage wares different functions.

Ooooh and I have so many more ridiculously awesome items to post later this week!

In today's day and age, being "green" has become more than just a trend. While it is hip to be green, it can do a lot to help save our planet, and help save you money. As Etsy shop owners there are many helpful tricks and tips we can employ to help us stay eco friendly. And reusing is a big part of this! This post is particularaly geared toward jewelry, since jewelry is what I focus on when creating.
*Search for "destash" under supplies on Etsy. Buying supplies that other Etsians aren't using sure beats buying them new! And you'll get a better deal on buying a destash item than buying that same item new.
