Due to public acclamation (okay, one very charming person) I am posting pictures of my latest geegaw acquisitions and the links to the Etsy shops where I purchased them in case you feel a hankering for geegaws of your own.

First, from the Etsy shop of JaimeLee (aka stillnotbored), these great little pendants:

She makes these from vintage ads and maps and things from very old magazines. They’re quite wonderful.

And then these from bottledupdesigns which I’ve been eyeing for months and waiting for the right excuse to buy…Ahem.

She makes these from recycled bottles and other found glass. So I’m not just buying geegaws, I’m helping the environment. It’s a noble cause! In both cases!!

Random quote of the day:

 

“The quantum theory of parallel universes is not the problem, it is the solution.  It is not some troublesome, optional interpretation emerging from arcane theoretical considerations.  It is the explanation—the only one that is tenable—of a remarkable counter-intuitive reality.”

—David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality
