Pack Rat singing in the dead of night; take these broken wings and learn to fly
You know what I'm about? I'm about two things: affordable fashion and one of a kind looks. And that, people, is why Etsy is the shiznit (well that and about a million other reasons).
Pack Rat thinks that love is a dangerous angel
I talk a big game of living the thrifty life, but even I need a reminder every once in a while. The universe gave that handy reminder to me this weekend. Let me elaborate.
Even though we've been living in NYC for about six months or so now, the apartment is still not completely together. I mean, we're getting there.
Bob's your uncle, Pack Rat is the dogs bollocks
One of my favorite episodes from 90s cult classic Canadian sketch comedy troupe, Kids in the Hall, is the one where Kevin McDonald decides to grow a beard while on vacation. As the days wear on, he gets intensely attached to his beard. When he wife suggests he shave off his prized facial hair, he turns on her and shouts, "The beard stays!
Pack Rat
A long time ago, when my grandma was cleaning out her basement I acquired a bingo game set. I've never been a gambling kinda gal (I'd rather keep the money I earned, thanks), but I loved to play bingo growing up because of those translucent, brightly colored chips you place on your bingo card. Fast forward several years and that same bingo game was shipped off to the Sal. I wanted desperately to keep those chips, but I just couldn't come up with any good projects on the fly.
Pack Rat smells like we sound, we're lost in a crowd, and we're hungry like the wolf
Rainy days were always rough growing up. Who didn't wish for some sort of Cat In the Hat like interventionist to come in and shake up those rainy day blues? What I got instead was my mom dragging out that God aweful Monopoly board, which took forever to set up and twice as long to play.
Vox populi, vox Pack Rat!
When Pack Rat thinks about you, we just can't get enough!
Today's pick comes from Breconstructed, a delightful play on words as shop owner Bree reconstructs outdated second-hand clothes into modern vintage.

Today's frugal find comes from a fellow nut megger (if you can't tell, I love my home state of Connecticut. Don't underrate the Constitution State!). Carissa Black's checkbook cover ($10) is just perfect.

Good morning! Oh I know it has been a while since we did an Item Du Jour, but have I found a good shop for you? The Lovelys Etsy shop is a fantastic collection of shabby-chic antiques, and pure kitsch.
Pack Rat magazine makes it hurt so good
Okaaaaay. So, we've been having a lot of problems with our new server, and I am sorry about that. Just know that we are doing our very best to get everything back on track asap. Unfortunately, we're also way behind on the magazine too. Things have been totally topsy turvey guys, I wish I had a better excuse, but there it is.
