Almost!

Hi, my name is Z and I am a Craft Cult addict.

I can spend hours perusing the Etsy front page treasury lists in The Vault. Since I have been laid up recouping from emergency surgery the past two weeks (don't fret, I am doing heaps better and I haven't talked about it because it's been stressful and I want to stay positive and move on and not moan and groan about it), I've had a ton a time [sigh] to spend in The Vault via my iPhone. So much so, that my gaze actually veered from its normally transfixed trance upon the parade of Etsy eye candy and I noticed a 'search for member' link.

What the heck, I'll enter foxymonster [click].

GADZOOKS!!! I was A-L-M-O-S-T on the Etsy front page!!!!!!

See there at the bottom. My Marie Antoinette Masquerade Earrings are in the middle of the 'Alternate Picks' for the front page.


ErinJade I heart you. She's the lovely soul who created this treasury which was on the front page of Etsy at 2:00am EST, Sunday, October 18, 2009. If a few things had sold, my earrings would have made it and then, massive exposure, Sunday 2am EST massive at least.  Well, that's the dream all us Etsians dream anyway.


I have to get on that dang elusive Front Page.  This means better photographs!!! Dang it dark, no sun, Seattle rain, cute little Craftsman house with hardly any windows or lights!!!!! I will find a way!!!! First stop, a friggin' camera store with some powerful lamps.  These dang things from Home 'Despot' are not strong enough!  I swear to you, the house sucks any light that manages to sneak in. Your time is nigh little light sucking house, we be moving soon! [end rant]


I'm still sooooper excited that I was an alternate.  It's a bit of props. You know, the "it's just an honor to be nominated" kind when they pan to you at the Oscars after your name was not called, yeah, like that.

I can dream and work hard so it's just a matter of time. [tick tick tick]

Marie Antoinette Masquerade


Finally framed and hung!

I fell in love with this print as soon as I laid my dark eyes on this beauty by Etsy seller strangeling (aka Jasmine Becket-Griffith).

The details in this are amazing which makes me only wish I could own the original painting.



Visit strangeling's Etsy shop for more delicious prints including some Alice in Wonderland themed and check out her website for even more goodness.

Marie Antoinette

I have long been intrigued by Marie Antoinette, having Antoinette as my middle name doesn't hurt. When I was in her bedroom at Versailles, I was mesmerized by all that I saw. It's more the romanticized notion of both this teen queen and last queen of France that intrigues. I gobbled up the massive eye candy that was Coppola's 2006 "account" of her private life. Decadent cakes, decadent shoes, decadent jewelry, and 80's pop musik, really, it's no surprise that I am massively drawn to this, is it?

I have been working on my own 'petite hommages' to this sensory bonbon. Here are some new items from my Marie Antoinette series:


Marie Antoinette Powder Puff



Wear whilst devouring beautiful yummy cupcakes.
It's guaranteed to make you smile and ooze regal 'tude.
