BloominHappy2009 – Attack of the Etsy!
One fun thing I like to do is browse Etsy for weirdo stuff. And though there are whole sites dedicated to mining the worst of Etsy, I instead will be focusing on stuff I think is pretty cool, even though it will probably be weird. So to start out, here is some cool weird stuff from an Etsy seller named BloominHappy2009:
Air plant in black hippo animal planter
Air plant in black hippo animal planter. Perfect gift for him. Great decor for your office. Be the envy of all your office colleagues when they see this adorable planter sitting on your desk. This repurposed toy hippo has been primed and hand painted by me in black and sealed for protection. He measures 6″ long x 3.5″ tall.
He comes with the message “Go Against the Flow” around his neck but you can change that. You may want this as a housewarming gift, a college dorm gift, to say thank you, or maybe a get well gift. I can personalize it to say what you want.
Air plant display. Lion animal planter in Neon Pink with air plant

Leonard has been primed and hand painted by me in 3 coats of electric pink and sealed with a special waterproof sealer. He measures 8″ long x 4″ tall.
Air plant nestled in fabulous little fish
Air plant nestled in fabulous little fish. Get well gift or girly office decor. As soon as I saw her lips I just knew that this funny little fish would be a perfect display for an air plant. Very brightly colored and measures 3.5″ long x 2″ tall and the plant is 2-3″ tall. This plant is named Ionantha Rubra and will blush red just before blooming with spikes of purple as seen in last photo.

Bisque pig doll with air plant
SALE. Vintage planter. Bisque pig doll with air plant. Unique gift for collector of plants or pigs. I found this very unusual planter at an estate sale and loved the idea of how it would look as an air plant display.
The pig has moving arms and legs and is in very good condition for something that is so old. There is a small chip on the back of the neck which I have shown in the last photo. She comes complete with large eyelashes and measures 11.5″ long by 6″ wide.
There are more, much more, at the BloominHappy2009 Etsy Store!
