Nautical Nerd: TeeFury & Etsy

TeeFury recently had two awesome shirts for their $11 Deal of the Day. 



As a huge Hagrid fan, I had to bring this one home. I enjoy the cute artwork on this shirt and how the magical beasts look cute and playful (surely how Hagrid views them) and not the ferocious and sometimes hideous animals they are in reality (yes, they are real).


A shortage of Doctor Who and Harry Potter shirts, I do not have. However, I did not own a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings shirt and this had to be remedied before the final installment of The Hobbit premiers in December. This has to be the cutest rendition of a typical Hobbit meal plan ever. In the book Tolkien waxes poetic about Hobbit eating habits and I thought it was the funniest thing, having a shirt that illustrates it just accentuates my joy.



My old Marauders Map phone case was beginning to separate at the edges so I have been trolling Etsy for a new case a while now but nothing was calling out my name. Eventually I feel upon the trifecta of fandoms (if it had a LotR it would be perfect). It came from Hong Kong and took a couple of weeks to arrive but the cheap cost was well worth it. It is actually better quality than the previous one I had from the US, as it is thicker around the edges to provide better protection. I have dropped my phone many times with the both cases and it has been fine. Unfortunately I cannot find the shop I bought it from again :-o But this shop has it.

Spied any geektastic treasures? I am on the hunt for some cool geek centered gifts for Christmas so shoot a line if you have spotted any.

Today is a very special day on many levels. November 19th is my Mom's birthday (Happy Birthday Mama!). I gifted her lots of Rosegirls wax and her favorite CFTKR Amazing Grace. I was hoping to get her more of that particular scent but did not have much luck tracking it down. Today is my sister Darby's 25th birthday (Happy Birthday Darby!). She also was gifted with CFTKR, but Fresh Picked Strawberries. Today is also the 15th anniversary of when Adam and I started our relationship all those years ago when we were 18 year old teeny boppers (Happy 15 years Hun!). I hope everyone has a beautiful day today!

    Happy Special Day to all involved! =)

    I've been looking at World of Warcraft geek stuff sites, looking for Christmas ideas for my boys. There is a +20 Frost Protection zip-hoodie that Casey thinks would be funny to have since we live in Wisconsin. Saw some 'hearthstone' throw pillows that I thought would be hilarious for Ty's couch. It's so fun being geeky!!

      It IS fun being geeky! I secretly hope I am raising little nerds.

      I love that you are shopping geeky gifts too. So much fun! Savanna is getting some Pokemon things. Scarlette doesn't have a nerdy hobby.... Yet. Let us know what geek gifts you end up gifting after Christmas!

      I suspect I might be getting a Vikings phone case. Ty asked me last night what kind of phone I have. =)

      Nice!! I want to see it! (If he attaches a Kringle to the phone case, he gets bonus points).

      LOL! This poor little Kringle doesn't know what it's walking into. We're going to be tearing at it like a pack of dogs all pulling for a piece.
