You've been through enough Valentines Days and have likely given or gotten all the usual heartsy fartsy goods. This year why not try something different? Dress up for a change, either to treat yourself, your cat or that special someone. Feast your sparkle eyes on these, fourteen saucy rockabilly finds that'll make this February the 14th extra memorable

These 12, sometimes burlesque finds, were all found on etsy.com. For those of you who would rather go the classic card and chocolates route, there are handmade sellers that cater to you too with all sorts of unique eye candy. 

As a bonus and for a limited time only, you can save over 30% on a peanut butter and jelly best friends necklace set when purchased from this site:

I've struggled for years trying to create a black heart that would be the right logo for Beat Black. It's something I've been especially particular about and so far this is the closet I've come. Here is the polymer clay version of my sketches

I wanted a logo that would incorporate my tag of "where the sweet and sour co-mingle", as well as the black heart.

I don't think I would have come up wit this on my own so I'd like to give credit where credit is due. Thanks to the craft show go-ers who either saw tentacles in this beat black necklace or suggested the design, Cynthia Moustache-Bacon Gregg who had this to say on my facebook page:

and Bunny X Productions who created the inspiration for the tentacle on this pumper.

As a side note, Canada Posts already sky high shipping costs have just gone up again. I know it stinks, that's why from January 15th-25th you can take 15% off your order with the code "STINKY" in my etsy shop

... it still stinks
