Portrait of a know-it-all: A story in three T-shirts










Unless you live in Portland, Scandinavia, or the middle of the Salish Sea (the seller has a helpful 300-word explanation for nonresidents), I would advise against wearing these T-shirts. I say this with love. Just don't.

For all you typography geeks out there, the perfect pair of social-life endangering rings.

Welcome to my wheelhouse


Friends, this is a bit of a Moment for me. Not since I stumbled upon the Squid Tampon Cozy have I felt as proud to be curating this collection of unusual crafts.

With no further ado, I share with you this Sanitary Napkin Cozy.

I suspect it's all downhill from here, life-wise.

This bit of glassware mustache humor is sure to give your friends a chuckle -- but only when your pint is half-full, and they're viewing you at just the right moment. As anyone who's been to Stonehenge knows, timing is everything.

Good news/bad news















The good news: I love this felted hydrangea in acidic-soil blue.

Right?

The bad news: It's part of a dog collar, which means I won't be buying it, and kind of makes me question my taste in felted fauna.

Fakin' it





















These are challenging times. For example, it's harder than ever to pick just one version of handmade fake bacon.

I checked in with myself, and I think this one will do. It curls, it lies flat, it fits in your pocket, and it's got the right fat-to-meat ratio.
