Etsy

Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, or maybe it's always been this way and I just had the wrong end of the stick, but Etsy seems a lot more interesting to me, these days.

Rightly or wrongly, I'm sure it used to be a lot more arts and crafty, but now there's all sorts of bits and pieces on there. Last year I bought a little, 'boutique' guitar pedal, and, at some point during the melee of Christmas spending, I ordered myself this, 'Diamonds In The Dust', which arrived today.

It's made by DecadeBridge - "Designed and built by hand in Cheshire England" - and it's a "4 oscillator, analogue drone synth'. In other words, it's a toy for making noises with, and one that I hope will bring me some enjoyment.
