My friends, I have never done this before, and I’m not likely to do it again. But today’s beautiful thing is among the most beautiful I’ve ever found, yet it’s woefully under-loved.
To those of you who looked at it and though “12 minutes? No way!” I beg you to reconsider. It will be 12 minutes you won’t want to get back. I promise. Give it a try. Enjoy 12 minutes of peace. How rare is that these days?

Etsomnia™ 157: Lights Are On (But No One’s Home)

This “boudoir” lamp finial looks more like it belongs in your nightstand than on it.
Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

Whoops (and a Bonus)
My phone went nuts and tried to publish a draft I was meaning to delete. So here, instead is a wonderfully creepy version of the already-creepy Police song “Every Breath You Take” by the mostrously-talented Chase Holfelder.
If you like this (and I’m sure you will), here’s the post I wrote about him in 2014:
