Extraordinary Etsians: Red Hot Design Meets the Machine Gun

Il_430xn_63503257

"Hot Pink Embroidered Machine Gun Pillow" - Words that you wouldn't expect to see together in the same sentence, but that is the actual title of a listing in this awesome Etsy shop; www.Threadquarters.Etsy.com ...and it's not at all what you'd think it would be. 

Threadquarters' has been one of my favorite shops on www.Etsy.com (a one-of-a kind marketplace for all things handmade) for years now.    These well-designed pillows and handbags are certainly pretty to look at.  The amount of detail and skill it took to create them amazes me, but it's the wild contrasts that draw me to these functional pieces of art more than anything else;  Pure white cotton, delicate mother of pearl buttons, satiny pink thread...and there it is, front and center...a machine gun!

 Not just any girl can carry a machine gun handbag & pull it off, but Threadquarters' makes me want to strive to be the kind of girl who can!
