I’m at the convergence of a number of things: my vacation is done, the kids don’t start school for another week and I’ve got a summer cold. The result is a serious case of meh. Looks like I’m not the only one…
meh
If you’re too apathetic to even utter the word “meh”, Odd One Out has the perfect brooch for you. Let’s face it, “meh” is the perfect response to almost any question.
In A Glaze understands that a tried and true remedy to meh is a big old cup of coffee. Where better than in this hand painted and glazed mug?
Here we have meh expressed exquisitely using Elder Futhark runes etched into a brass pin by Creative Etching. I don’t know why this cracks me up, but it sure does.
Use these Scrabble tile magnets to bring internet slang to your offline life. Love the cute little slide top tin Yum Yum Pendants packs them in!
Yellow Bug Boutique says of this black ultrasuede pillow: “This baby will suck the over-enthusiasm out of a room faster than you can say Paula Abdul.” I can’t think of a better place to lay one’s meh-filled head.
Is everything better when said by a robot? Of course it is! Picturama has a fine assortment of meh pins, but this is my favorite.
In nerdbomber’s words, “You know the blue bird of happiness? This is his cousin, the brown bird of apathy. He could get up early and catch that worm, but that would require, you know, caring.”
Happy Stalk–or, you know, whatever.

Curator Ivy watched a television program that featured some special people who see music as colors. Isn’t that just wonderful? There are people who see numbers as colors, too, but I like music better than numbers. So naturally, I Stalked Etsy craftspeople to see what they do with music.
And Now For A Musical Number!
This stained glass piece caught my eye because of its color, the motion in its lines, and the mood it sets. Hudson Georges was trained in the Tiffany method and it shows!
Monkeys Jewels offers engraved brandy snifters for those of us who want to be elegant while we listen to our music and drink our brandy in style. Ivy thinks she would sit beautifully in her green velvet gown (if she had one) in the drawing room to drink out of these.
This black & white terra cotta pot is so striking that there are a million uses for it. Of course, it could hold a plant, but Sunstroke Studio, a full time artisan, offers a whole list of possibilities.
In contrast to the black and white, these stylish, moody note cards add flair to whatever you might have to say. Liz Grandmaison is a photographer whose fine closeup photos are the basis for the elegance in these heavy-paper note cards.
Listen! Can you hear the jingle of these musical charms? Dreamstorage can make this bracelet to fit your wrist. This is a fully charmed bracelet and it seems to Ivy that anyone who ever listened to music would enjoy wearing it.
Curator Ivy can never stalk without finding something for the etsy-bitty-babies! These little baby booties offered by Lilcubby are just so adorable that I wish they came in my size! (Note from Curator Violet: How fetching these would be with your green velvet gown!)
Ivy simply doesn’t know what to say about this vintage travel bag. It is indeed unique and a little gangsterish in character, but we had to show it to you. Bobann23 definitely has a specialty item here!
Lastly, Rickson Jewellery will custom make this silver guitar pick necklace to include a series of notes from your favorite song. A snippet of the lyrics can be engraved on the back. Perfect for couples to commemorate “our song”.
See you soon!
Curator Ivy
