Saturday Flea Market: Etsy, et cetera...

What a week! One client had me fuss and worry over one of their projects every single day. I'm not complaining, though. I'm just the vendor who performs a service for an ad agency. It was their client who kept panicking. I guess I know now why so many cube monkeys I know keep the 21st century equivalent of voodoo dolls near at hand. I should probably do my stress management abilities a favor and see to it that my own workspace is properly outfitted.  

In the meantime, I have to say it's always a pleasure to kick back and stare dreamily at a collection of clogs. This round up of vintage styles was once again collected from the pages of Etsy. They are a gold mine when it comes to secondhand wares. But...as I hope to demonstrate tomorrow, that site is also a wonderful resource when you desire some artistic expertise. Is that a vague enough tease? Be sure to drop by Sunday when I hope to unveil the new look of Every Clog Has Its Day! Created with a little help from an artist I found on Etsy.

Somebody kick me. I could have told you about these clog boots last Saturday, but I waited 'til this Saturday to post them. They sold on Sunday. D'oh!

And while we're at it, let's get my other listing blunder out of the way, too. This pair that I've known about for over a week, sold on Tuesday. May I say, "D'oh!", again? D'oh!!!

I don't know about you, but I always have a soft spot for simple, unadorned clogs like these. The covered toe keeps my feet warm. The sandal strap makes them fun. Why is something this basic so hard to find???

Loving the site make-over! It looks fantastic!

btw, that pair from The Swedish Company looks quite elegant (which I never thought I'd say about a pair of clogs).

I am often surprised by how versatile these shoes can be in the hands of the right designer. Glad you like the look of the new layout!
