Where else but Etsy can you find a cool and hip way to organize all those buttons you get as swag or buy at shows? Like most people, I have a huge collection of buttons that I never wear and they are just sitting in jars around my house. This "Poem Storyboard" by seller buttoncollective
lets you display your buttons, pins and badges like the tiny works of art they are!

Today's Etsy featured seller is catiepillars. She makes these super cute tree babies. I super love how there is a birdie on trunk/tummy.

For those of you who don't know, Home of the Sampler is "a monthly mailing featuring works from indie crafters, record labels and zines. It's also a wicked website where people can find links and go shopping!"

It is a great place to find a smattering of different works and Mutineers have and will continue to be involved. Plus the Sampler is hosting an Etsy shop to raise funds for medical care for Alison Gordon - their Contributor Relations person.

Check out these goods from Mutineer Jessee of artschooldropout!

Before he became a Mutineer, I was a big fan of Ben of
bendependent.com! now, I am proud to be in a collective together. Either way...

My absolute fave mini comic is his brilliant "A Dumb Little Book About Love". It makes me fall in love with people and arts and crafts and being silly. Check it out!
