Retro Arcade: Pac-Man Coasters!

For those of you who refer to vitamins as “power pellets,” and whisper “bonus points” every time you eat a pretzel, it’s time to grow up already… With these six Pac-Man coasters from Etsy user Lost Mitten.

The bead created set features everybody’s favorite living pie chart, as well as his arch enemies, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. For good measure, there’s also a dead ghost*, and the whole thing comes in an attractive case featuring sweet, delicious cherries.

Unfortunately, there was only ONE of these made, so it’s already sold out. But head on over to Lost Mitten’s Etsy page and demand more coasters!

*Was that ever confusing to anyone else?

Best of Etsy: From Sock Zombies to Baby Duck Slippers

Let's just get something straight here from the get-go: I'm not a crafty person. Sure, I've stitched a couple things in my life and I reupholstered an antique chair not too long ago, but for the most part, if I've got an extra hour or two, I'd rather hit up happy hour somewhere than, you know, make something and contribute to society. That said, I am so glad other people are crafty! And I am so thankful for places like Etsy where I can spend all kinds of time (yes, time I could be making something...) browsing for cool stuff. If you're interested in just a handful of my favorite finds this week, continue reading:

The picture above is of a sock zombie--brilliantly conceived and expertly crafted. The zombies are made from actual socks and you can get your very own here.

Quiet Doing makes the coolest looking wallets. I seriously want all of them (and I want them filled with lots and lots of cash!).

How adorable are these little baby slippers? Whether you've got your own little one at home, a niece or a nephew to buy for, or your clock is tick-tick-ticking like mine, how can you pass up slippers so sweet you want to stick them on a baby's feet right away and make them talk to each other in little chick-a-dee speak? Face it: you can't.
