Whales!

Since I featured sharks last week, I thought I'd do a feature on my other type of favorite large aquatic creature as well - Whales. In fact, I may love whales more than I love sharks! I love the story of Moby Dick when I was a kid. My personal favorite whale is the Humpback whale, what about you? :)

Shark Week!

Since this week is Shark Week, I decided to do a shark feature! I had always loved large aquatic creatures, Jaws was one of my fave movies when I was a kid. My personal favorite shark is the Hammerhead shark, because I find them so funny! What is your favorite shark?

In Love with Minerals

If you follow me on Instagram you would have known that I'm hopelessly addicted to minerals. I've been buying these gorgeous agate geode slices and I can't seem to stop! And I've been looking at gorgeous raw minerals on Etsy as well. There is just a raw beauty to it that I can't explain. So here's a little featurette of mineral findings on Etsy that tickles my fancy.

Some of my Favorite Brooches

Ever since I lost my brooch by leaving it behind two years ago in San Francisco, I had been looking for the perfect brooch to replace it. My red coat collar looked sad and empty without one. Unfortunately that seller I bought from at Renegade Craft Fair does not sell online, if she does I just can't find her even through Google. So I thought hey, it would be fun to get a brooch on Etsy! And here are some of my favorites that I found.

First up, are wooden/laser cut brooches! Like the one I lost. (twas a very cool looking space gun)

Geometric Deer Brooch - SketchInc // Wooden Keyboard Brooch - bRainbowshop
Constellation Brooch with Ursa Major - TheTwentyFingers // Vintage Combi Brooch - SconnieAndJam

Next up, nerdy brooches! I'm a nerd and I cannot lie. Also, Game of Thrones is pretty awesome. I would have gotten the Night's Watch brooch if only my coat is black. Unfortunately I do not own a black coat.

And last but not least. Every other pretty brooches that I like that don't belong to the two above categories!
