Happy Monday to you from the team of MayDae. We are excited to be starting the second week of our conversation (or ramblings) with all of you. Remember how we told you that each Monday we would decide on a theme and then each choose our favorite Etsy picks from that theme? No? Well, I just explained it, so now you know everything.
We were able to view 5 of the Best Picture nominated films this weekend, and we decided right then and there that this week’s theme for our Etsy picks had to be: The Hurt Locker. This movie had incredible impact on us. It was tense and raw and real, and we loved it. To our immense delight, it ended up winning 6 of the 9 nominations it held this year, including Best Director and Best Picture. Can we help it if we know an incredible movie when we see it?
Enjoy these picks, and watch watch watch The Hurt Locker if you haven’t already seen it.
May’s Etsy picks of the week:
Toy soldier soap – just brilliant.
Neck protection. Reminds me of a bomb-proof suit.
Yes, this is a machine gun scarf.
See? A machine gun scarf. umm, yes please.

Tell me, was there a back-up plan if Avatar won???
I was drawn to all the army-clothes at Forever XXI yesterday! I am not sure about the peace painting. How do I know that is what it means? I like that Ayres scarf and that corset.

Nope, no backup plan. We weren’t trying to pick the winner(although we both wanted Hurt Locker to win)…we just thoroughly enjoyed the movie and wanted to choose our Etsy picks from it.

LOVE all of these things! I was just telling mom at Forever 21 that I’m an army green girl all the way. Hurt Locker was definitely a great movie!
