Etsy: A New Home Store in Which to Spend All Your Money

Oh, my. I want the things sold by New York-based Etsy shop Lucky Little Dot with the same ferocity I imagine killer whales feel right before they eat an entire pack of seals (and when you watch this on the Nature Channel you cry and feel confused because the seals are so innocent, but you've always loved Shamu--or maybe that's just me).

Seriously, check out its gorgeous, hard-to-find, original items like this cool NYC subway sign from 1914, a sleek antique chemical bottle that could double as a vase, a vintage biology wall chart, porcelain glove molds (OMG), and this chic little perpetual calendar to sit atop your desk. All are the kinds of items that

add character to your home, without overwhelming it, or, since the time really is coming up, they'd all also make great gifts.
