Friday Feature: mix tapes

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up with me this past week for my Friday Feature link up! Here are just a few of the great finds that were featured. Click on the photos to check out the item listings, blog posts, etc.

I'm revisiting one of my favorite feature themes ever: mix tapes. The last mix tape feature that I did was in March of 2011. It was way past time to bring it back. Enjoy!

Friday feature: random

Welcome to the May edition of my random feature! Enjoy!

I'm also starting a Friday Feature Link Party. All of the information is at the bottom of this post. I know that at least a few people reading this also do regularly Friday features. Add your links! If it does well, I will make it a regular addition to my weekly feature posts.

I had to return to the mix tape theme here.

Of course I had to include some beadweaving. And these earrings are perfect for this time of year.

This stamp has been calling me ever since I found it a few weeks ago. I'm sure that someone of you already saw me post this on Facebook and Twitter. I could make the most awesome thank you cards for my Etsy shop with this!

The one that I linked here sold out, but check out this other awesome button stamp that is still available.

I can't resist cloud/rain themed items.

This cuff is too adorable. Buttons + ocean + stripes + cuff = how can I not love this?

I love this use of triangles. She has a bunch of other triangle designs in her shop, too.

Friday feature: mix tapes

I hate to admit that I got inspired to put together this feature by an item that was on the front page of Etsy. I hate all of Etsy's bias but sometimes they do put some neat things up there. One of the items up a couple weeks ago was a mix tape item. I have enjoyed making music mixes since I was about 14 and am still nostalgic about mix tapes. Although making a music mix for anyone is always a sweet gesture, a mix CD is not an art form the way a mix tape is. I did not give up making mix tapes until sometime in 2004. I don't play them much anymore but I still have some in with my CD collection.

I firmly believe that all mixes should include a play list. This seems like a given to me, but I've received a handful over the years that did not include them. The poor Scotch tape is yellowing. I actually like the August 2003 mix so much that I made a slightly shorter CD version and continue to give it to people once in a while.

Clearly I'm not the only person who's still a little nostalgic about them because there are a wide variety of mix tape items on Etsy. Here are just a few of them. Enjoy!

iPhone case 90's Retro Mix Cassette Tape Gadget Case - iPhone iTouch and more by Coolbeans717 (This whole shop is really cool. It's probably just as well that the only Apple device I have is an old school iPod shuffle or I would really want something from the shop. Though there are some other non-Apple items, too...)
