It can be hard to find good gifts for the men in your life! Here are some ideas from our shops. There is still time left to shop online! We will upgrade to priority shipping for no additional charge when you spend $15 or more from now through December 21. Happy holidays!

Smoking Gandalf Gocco Print. This is printed on an original page from a vintage copy of Fellowship of the Ring!


Star Trek Magnet featuring Spock. One of a kind, made from recycled comic book page!


Robot Party T-shirt. Boys like robots. It's not an opinion.


Star Wars pins and magnets made from old comic books. Great stocking stuffer for your boyfriend or your son!


VIVA LA VINYL t-shirt for the guy who appreciates is LPs more than is MP3 player.

still time to shop!

Just wanted to post quick to let you know that we have just one more upcoming holiday show on December 12 in Madison but there's still time to shop online in order to receive gifts in time for the holidays!

Our Star Wars magnet and pin sets made from vintage comics have been popular this year and we have lots of other items - mirrors, magnets, clothing in baby through adult sizes and more - that would make unique gifts or stocking stuffers! Please stop by the shop here or click on items below to be directed to our etsy shop. Chad also has some great gift items in his shop including a really awesome LOTR Gandalf gocco print. Check it out!

new location to shop space oddities + a little sunshine makes a big difference

Look! New buttons.















I made a batch of buttons, mirrors and magnets last week and shipped them off to Dainty Daisies. Michelle of Dainty Daisies makes the most gorgeous clothing and accessories for women and children and I can't wait to visit her brick & mortar shop! Starting today you can find Space Oddities goodies (and lots of other handmade goodies + vintage items) at the new store, 1606 Oregon St., Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Check it out if you're in the area!

The sun was out today and it was just what I needed to drag myself out of my little slump. Hooray! I feel genuinely cheerful. Thank goodness.

Okay I am off to screen print cupcakes onto man shirts! Have a great week!

what's new?

I have a few new things in my shop this week. First, I listed some fun Star Wars and super hero pins














I am lucky to have lots of comic scraps left and plan to make lots more of the smaller pins, magnets and maybe some bigger magnets and mirrors for upcoming shows.

I also decided to print more owl-iday cards this year since they seemed to be pretty popular last year. I cleaned up the image and revamped the text just a bit to give it a slightly different look than last year. I'm happy with how the cards turned out.



















Well, we are leaving town and will be gone for a few days. Enjoy your halloween and the last gasp of autumn!

Anthology

There is a new paper & craft store opening in Madison this weekend!

Anthology
218 State Street
Madison, WI
Located between Goodman's Jewelers & Orpheum Theater.

Opening weekend: Fri & Sat March 14 & 15 from 11am-7pm

Anthology will feature beautiful and unique paper goods along with art and craft items from local and national artists (including me!) I got an early glimpse of the store and it looks fantastic. I am super excited to show some of my work there. I didn't have a lot to bring to begin with but for now you can find some of my cards, magnets and pins there and hopefully lots more soon. Please stop to check it out if you're in the area!

Valentine Gift Guide!

My etsy shop has lots of offer for Valentine's Day so I thought I'd show off a sampling. The guide below is clickable so you can click on any item for more details. Ah, can you feel the love?


All screen printed totes are still on sale for only $6.00 through this weekend. I am hoping to clear out a little inventory to make room for new designs.

Tonight I want to decoupage some picture frames. Well, first I have to prep the frames so maybe I will at least get that much done tonight. The area where I craft is so cluttered and messy right now, I am having a hard time wanting to work! Perhaps I should focus on getting organized.

See, this is the problem. So many things, so little time. Where to begin…! It's a miracle that I finish Anything, really.
