After another visit to the midwife's office yesterday and, thus, another precious chance to listen to Pipsqueek's little heart thumping away I can't help but have a giddy case of baby-brain. It's taking all of my shopaholic willpower not to spend the little one's college fund on fluffy booties, clothing, and a comprehensive Dr. Seuss / Shel Silverstein / Richard Scarry / Maurice Sendak library. http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-happy-family/feed/ 5 http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-stellarquilts/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-stellarquilts/#comments Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:14:56 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10885

Stellarquilts Phobos V2 Quilt

I've always been a lover of quilts - watching my mother create exquisite ones as a child, starting my own collection once I moved to New York City and discovered the East Village Flea and the wonders of eBay, standing awestruck before each Gee's Bend quilt during the Guggenheim exhibition a few years back... http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-stellarquilts/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/#comments Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:57:39 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10261

Etsy has to be one of the coolest places for gift giving — simply because most of the offerings on the site are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. But, with this endless trove of offerings, a bushy-eyed shopper can quickly get dissuaded by too much good stuff... http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/feed/ 9 http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-mod-vintage/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-mod-vintage/#comments Mon, 15 Nov 2010 18:46:12 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9943

Remo & Mariska are a sibling retailing duo with a serious eye for spectacle fashion. Their Zwolle-based Etsy store, MOD* Vintage, is full of bright, plastic frames from Spanish company INDOline optical. Most of the frames run about $29 a pair — great for any 4-eyes out there looking to expand their optical wardrobe! Each set of specs comes packaged in an upcycled VHS box! Cute.

What is a tchotchke? I would say it's an object that you just don't need but, somehow, are drawn towards. In the world of flea markets, antique shops, Ebay, and strange gift-givers, it's hard to avoid the constant barrage of doodads that are daring you to find room for them in your 4th floor railroad walk-up. As our little house has started filling up with bowls of Italian glass marbles, stacks of vintage flashcards, turn-of-the-century typewriters and so forth, I'm realizing that I must become more strict with my collection curating... http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-the-sunday-times-market/feed/ 8 http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-kozo-lamps/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-kozo-lamps/#comments Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:23:25 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7950

A little bit Steampunk, a tad industrial loft makeover, these upcycled KOZO lamps are being produced by a 7-member collective called DEMO Design Clinic working out of Florentin (Tel Aviv's Williamsburg doppelgänger)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-kozo-lamps/feed/ 15 http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-etsy-sara-carr/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-etsy-sara-carr/#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 02:52:52 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7186

So, you might say it's far from wool-wearing weather, what with NYC temperatures up in the 90's, but with every store, theater, and restaurant cranking the AC like they're charged with re-freezing the glaciers, it's comforting to have a little fuzzy critter to curl up with at the end of the day (or a cute scarf to wrap around your little one's neck to keep the summer sniffles away!)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-etsy-sara-carr/feed/ 2675 http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-nina-invorm/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-nina-invorm/#comments Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:30:32 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=5503

The Dutch really know how to pinch a penny — something I learned over and over from my mother growing up. Sometimes the philosophy doesn't work (ie. having to sport knock-off Converse All Stars from Payless during the painful years of junior high) but other times hits it on the nose: like these adorable polka dot- and garland-clad vintage plates, pitchers and other kitchenwares by Nina Invorm. The buck doesn't stop there: check out her brighter-than-a-rainbow blog for eye candy galore! http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-nina-invorm/feed/ 13 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-timber/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-timber/#comments Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:40:35 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=5124

OK - full-blown spring fever has taken over Lo's List (making it quite the challenge to stay indoors and working) and these delicate letter-pressed prints from Dutch Door Press perfectly capture a distinct highlight of the season: new blooms and birds, birds, birds... http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-dutch-door-press/feed/ 2
