everyone stuck for christmas gifts for ladies, this shop is really cool: http://www.ebay.com.au/usr/wendigoeater2

it's where a group of huichol artisans from near jalisco sell their folk art, and it's super beautiful and relatively cheap. a lot of indigenous mexican people make their living from making and selling traditionally-inspired hand-done beadwork, weaving and sculpture, and huichol are leaders in this kind of folk art economy. at this shop you can get peyote flower necklaces for under $20, beaded sculptures for about $25, beaded gourd bowls for under $40, and some pieces of jewellery like earrings and bracelets and simpler necklaces for like $10. i have a gourd bowl that i hung on my wall from them and my mum bought me a necklace from there for a present this year because i asked her to, it's a really cool shop and the money goes back into the community which is great because huichol peoples make a lot of their meagre living from selling their art. there are lots of other suppliers of huichol folk art but i've only bought from this group so far

also if you have a knitter or crocheter in the family and want to buy a really cool, meaningful and vaguely humanitarian gift, there's also this site: http://store.darngoodyarn.com/
it's run by an american ex-military woman who decided to do something decent after fighting for imperialism, so now she sells recycled sari yarn which is child-labour-free and pays nepalese and indian women a living wage for hand-spun/dyed yarn. $13 for 150 yards seems dear, but that's because the yarn industry is revolting and operates primarily in countries were workers aren't payed a living wage and are sacked and left to die in the gutters coughing their lungs out after breathing in fibres for years. ethical wool is hard to find, and this yarn is ethical imo

THIS IS AWESOME I'll get my mom some yarn for sure. She usually spins her own, but sometimes she'll accept yarn in cool colors.

Last night it was 44 degrees when I got out of work, and only 4 degrees warmer back home by the beach.

That's the equivalent of negative a billion down here! I'm gonna need a bigger coat! Have an ICE day!

You guys, if you go to the Everglades they basically just hand you baby alligators everywhere you go.

They were watching pretty carefully but there was a pit of baby alligators at one place so i could probably have gotten away with one. I value my fingers though, so I decided to leave them.

Also my cats would have been pissed.

Speaking of Baltimore and reptiles, there was a dude on Greenmount selling teeny little baby turtles a few weeks ago. I was extremely tempted, but I have no idea how to take care of turtles so I passed.

I remember you were talking about that in the BB Crew thread! I wish people sold turtles around here, all we have in the way of sidewalk businesses is people selling fruit with salt and chili powder, which is all well and good but a far cry from adorable turtle babies

It was certainly one of the more surreal experiences I've had lately. He didn't have a stand or anything, he was just walking down the street selling turtles. And fruit with salt and chili powder sounds delicious, I need to try that.

Also wanted to add that while knit tights are warm, they suck in every other possible way.
