Yes, I’m back on RedBubble again. This week …
I’ve been begging Sven to make me a Cyber-looking ISBN shirt for months. I eventually just found the font and made him list it:
Also got him to do me a new Librarian T, since my old one is wearing out and they don’t print on my preferred t-shirt brand:
And this one’s for Sven. lol:
I was clearly feeling troublesome with the postcards this week:

I spent my summer watching nearly the entire run of Supernatural. I made a graph of the experience:
I loved the librarian quotes about the Men of Letters (such a shame about the name though). I thought I should discretely place the symbol for the organisation at the entrance to my library somewhere. You know, in case any hunters were lurking around. So I bought this decal:

With RedBubble. So cheap, so fun. And I just rearranged my happiness wall at work so I can fit about 20 more postcards in.
This is about as trippy as I’d dare to wear to work:
I thought this was hilarious (It’s the Bathory logo redone as ‘One Direction’ fyi):

I think that the most enjoyable shopping experiences that I’ve had over the last year have all been from Redbubble. They do a t-shirt cut that I like, and I can always find more fun postcards for my happiness wall at work. Plus it’s all super cheap.
Industrial-y looking t-shirt:
What am I shipping atm? Orphan Black, Felicia Day and Destiel were the most popular postcard themes:

Now that I’m clearing out all the 50s dresses, I need to invigorate the ex-ex-spare bedroom, ex-dress room to make it a serviceable combination of both attractive spare room and home for the remaining dress racks. I’ve decided that a boho gypsy look will accommodate both, and Urban Outfitters are so in my head space:

My much loved Metal Librarian tee (this one:
) has inspired me to expand my collection of t-shirts I like that I can get away with at work. This is the winner:
lol.
Also, there are always some things that I don’t post on the blog. Knickers, multi-purchase items (like when I bought lots of hair extensions), cosmetics. I’ve also shied away from posting books and some CDs. Why? Not sure, but given that these are all sort of more personal things, and most people are here for dresses, I just don’t put them up.
One thing I have been buying a bit of lately and not posting is RedBubble art. Since I bought some with this order, here they are:

Cost:
$28.06 for the t-shirt
$1.84 for the Sherlock gaming postcard
$1.87 for the Choose your AU postcard
$1.84 for the Sagan quote postcard
