First on this one instead of a nightstand: http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/2010/02/toothbrush-cup-nightstand.html

Then I saw this incredibly amazing bench-hack: http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/2009/12/bench-bag-and-snudda.html
Holy shit! It’s almost a breakfast nook…or anything! And it’s cheap! It’s all made using $7.99 Lack side tables: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40104270  and $13 Adel drawer fronts:http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90078674
Gorgeous!!!

Have you hacked something from Ikea or just have a fave from the blog? Tell me about it!!!

I heard the silliest song this morning and while I still have a mixed opinion on it (both good and bad) it gave me a different/creative idea for today’s music list. So I shall pair things with songs and see what comes out of it! Dig?

(And the song was The Beatles “You know my name, look up my number” and I actually own it, but heard it for the first -maybe- time on the radio thsi morning…weird!)

What do you think?

I know that I tend to write about more lady related topics, but that’s so not fair! I am all about equality and this bargain huntress won’t let the men down, believe me! So guys, here’s a quickie guide to www.Etsy.com ! Please, don’t be afraid to venture into the unknown. There is an entire world of crafty peeps out there waiting to work with you to create something truly legend -wait for it- ary!

From custom leather goods to personalized stationary or t-shirts, Etsy is the place for all things custom and personalized (yes, even license plate frames)! It’s what I love most about it. You can order dog tags or cuff links with your name or any other info on it. And please, don’t fear being judged! I have made some strange requests of sellers on Etsy and have never had anyone so much as blink an eye at it! So dive on in! The crafty waters are perfect! (Got a gag gift in mind? Post in the “Alchemy” section and let sellers bid for your project or contact a seller directly!)

I would say that the neatest thing I’ve found on Etsy is the personal care (aka: health and beaty) items. From organic to vegan and fragrance free (my husband won’t buy the fragranced stuff) you can find or request anything your heart or your body desires! Even custom undies!!! Yes, you can get Fight Club soap to show off to your friends/guests! You can get all things liquor/beer related from soaps to artwork. The sky is the limit!

Keychains? Yep! Shaving soap refill? Uh-huh! Macho bracelets/necklaces? Oh yeah! If you can dream it then there is someone out there willing and able to make it for you (depending on the project and your budget). Halloween stuff, too! I even found fridge magnets that look like real bacon! Sweet! And baked goods, too! Yeah, too lazy to bake for yourself or go to the store? Buy some goodies on Etsy! You can taste your way around the world! From jams to cookies and lollipops and cake…custom blended teas and coffees…did I mention the sky is the limit? Yeah, ’cause it is!

And clothes? You can get custom made garments for the same price you’d pay for ready to wear stuff in the store! Ridiculous-cool! Hunter S. Thompson passport cover? You got it! Giant Bruce Lee wall decal? Sure! It’s all in how you work the keyword search. See, all the stuff below I slapped into my fave list for your viewing and linking pleasure. And there’s so much more than what you see here! Check out more of my manly faves: http://www.etsy.com/favorite_listings_public.php?user_id=51553 (only the first 5-6 pages are for men). All I did was type in “for men” into the keyword search box at the top of the homepage www.etsy.com and sorted by price (or you can set other parameters and click on categories, too) and went window shopping!

So, check it out, give it a shot and tell me what you think! Thanks fellas! =0)

My beloved and fave blog PlanetFabulon.com has mysteriously shuttered. Leaving me with heartache and a need for a fix of fabulosity! So…I shall scour the webz in search and perhaps you’ll join me on this adventure and see what we find in the universe!

Came across a Tweet from 52stations and I friggin’ loved it and Carrie Fisher for writing it: http://carriefisher.com/?p=462

I love this site’s clothing and have bought a few items now. I can attest to it’s quality and uniqueness. You just won’t see another gal walking down the street in thei stuff (yet!): http://eshakti.com/ with sizes from 0 – 38W there seems to be something for everyone! PLUS: you can get customized styling for $10! Yes! No tailor needed! And only $10!!!

I am loving Yoko Ono’s Tweets! You may have noticed my recent post “25 Things” in her honor. Well, check out her site: http://imaginepeace.com/news/ it’s full of fabulosity and compassion!

If you’re a regular Fabulonian, you’ll already be familiar with Mr. Peakcock and his style:  http://mrpeacockstyle.blogspot.com/

And I love this art/design/blog: http://nubbytwiglet.com/blog/ it’s always full of fab typesettings and all kinds of fabulousness!

If you’re on the fashion leaning side of Fabulon: http://galadarling.com/ will surely give you something to gawk at!

Another fashion one, but this one’s a more collage style scene: http://blog.justjr.com/

I think one of the best blogs ever: http://1000awesomethings.com/page/2/ because anyone who blogs about things that are awesome and specifically: #678 Sneaking cheaper candy into the movie theater is fabulous in my opinion!

Okay so this one is both fabulous and adorable: http://leloveimage.blogspot.com/

I Love The Frugal Fag! I had wanted a clever name for this blog to go with his, but stuck with my old standby instead: http://frugalfag.com/

Another Fabulon Favorite: http://expatriato.blogspot.com/
