Everyday I'm Hufflin'

I got an AWESOME Etsy convo from one of my customers!

Look what she did for her daughter:

it's a Hufflepuff bedroom!!

I love it so much!

She bought the Hufflepuff bunting from my shop,

and got tons of other cool items from other Etsy sellers.

Head over to her blog post for more photos

and the links to the different shops she bought from.

I was thrilled to see this room,

not just because it has my bunting in it,

but because I'm a sister Hufflepuff.

'Puff Pride!

I've just added some awesome Hogwarts house banners to my Etsy shop!

Now, which one should you buy?

For those brave at heart, whose daring, nerve and chivalry set them apart, 

Gryffindor!

Roar, wild Gryffindor lions!

For those who value intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit,

Ravenclaw!

Fly high, fierce Ravenclaw eagles!

For those who believe Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness,

Slytherin!

Slither on, crafty Slytherin snakes!

For those who value hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty,

Hufflepuff!

Uh... dig ... stripey...Hufflepuff badgers?

Yes, I made a Hufflepuff banner, too,
even though Hufflepuff is the butt of just about every House joke on the the internets.

Oh, sure, you'll get an occasional Chin Up, Hufflepuff! message:

But they are vastly outnumbered by another take on the "Canada of Houses" posts:

Even pop culture joins in, as with this Halloween scene from Modern Family:

Et tu, Phil? 
 Et tu?

I mean, I'm not kidding myself.
I'm a Hufflepuff, and this rings painfully true:

But we 'Puffs can claim some pretty illustrious alumni!

This guy was in Hufflepuff, before he got all sparkly and stalker-y!

(Oh, Cedric Diggory, your death was in the top five of those that ruined me!*)

And THE QUEEN, J.K Rowling herself,
has some kind words for Hufflepuff:

So, yeah.  'Puff Pride!

And we should remember these wise words:

So hoist your Hufflepuff banner with pride!

* For the record, the Harry Potter deaths, in order of tears shed are:

5. Nymphadora Tonks 
4. Cedric Diggory
3. Severus Snape
2. Fred Weasley
1. Dobby the House Elf **






** And also for the record,
it has been more than five years since I read about Dobby's burial 
( "Here Lies Dobby, A Free Elf"! Ron taking off his shoes and putting them on Dobby!), 
and I still can't talk about it without crying.

Sniff!!  RIP Dobby!
