Searching for a T-Shirt

It's March, which means I'm in the market for a t-shirt for my brother's birthday. What do my fellow team makers have available?

Monsters Adult T-shirt by Little Smarty Pantz 

T-shirts as expected. But the search term "tshirt" also picks up a couple other interesting choices... 

Like, I did not expect to find a messenger bag, although this is an interesting choice.

I wonder what this is going to smell like...

An eclectic mix. Have you ever found an interesting item when searching out something else? Have you ever considered adding t-shirts to your line? 

Summertime

In trying to come up with a good theme for today, all I could think was "summer". As I look outside at the dreary, overcast, drizzly day. (Seriously. Drizzly. I felt speckles of water when I walked out about a half hour ago.)

So, I typed in "cccoe team summer" into the trusty Etsy search bar, and here is some of what I found...

The smells of summer...

And the tastes...

What's summer without watermelon?

Or sharks?

You find sharks at the beach... well, hopefully not! But hopefully you do find sea glass...

Or sea stars...

And what better way to capture the memories?

The Dog Days of Summer

While trying to come up with a theme for this week's post, I Googled "dog days of summer". From Fact Monster, I got this answer:

Dog Days is the name for the most sultry period of summer, from about July 3 to Aug. 11. Named in early times by observers in countries bordering the Mediterranean, the period was reckoned as extending from 20 days before to 20 days after the conjunction of Sirius (the dog star) and the sun.

Which means they're just about over. So, to celebrate their end, I asked for dog-themed items from the team. (If you wish to be featured in one of these posts, keep an eye out for my announcements on the team message board.)
