Eye Candy

Recently I stumbled upon a website called Craftgawker.  It is a beautiful gallery of handmade items.   The site is juried so only pictures that fit their high standards make the cut.  I think I spent 2 hours on it the first time I was there...feverishly favoriting items.  Not only am I a sucker for handmade but I love a good product photo.

Of course I had to submit a few of my own.  I desperately wanted to be among the beautiful things.

A few days later I clicked on their sister site Foodgawker.  Then I lost track of time for a few days... which is random because I am not a foodie.  I honestly don't even enjoy cooking all that much.  For me it is means to an end.  BUT this site has me drooling and clicking and favoriting.  I have tried a few recipes already with very satisfying results.  Now if only someone will bake all the desserts I have favorited and bring them to me.  Baking is not my thing.

I think both sites successfully inspire.  I was in a menu slump when I found Foodgawker and now I have ideas for days.  Craftgawker has found many of my Christmas gifts this year too!

So go browse at your own risk.  You can't say I didn't warn ya!
