Both cute and mystical, the octopus has featured in pop culture and folklore for centuries.  I for one am so taken with the many-legged mollusk that I'd like to work him (her?) into one of my felt creations.  But for now I'm happy to enjoy the amazing and aquatic items of these ten Etsians.  And not a moment too soon, with Memorial Day on the (sailboat-dotted) horizon.  Want to be a marine maven?  Then float on over to these shipshape shops and start fishing :)

What clever inspiration for a post! I love everything here...everything!

When we were in Maui in March, my hubby saw an octopus while he was snorkeling. He was pretty excited! The octopus-not so much:)
