Etsy Christmas

Last night I was involved in a conversation about how great Etsy is. And how buying gifts on Etsy is so amazing because you know it's unique, you know they probably haven't seen it before, it could come from anywhere in the world, and there's so much to choose from that you can cater to whatever crazy interests you know your friend has.

I adore everything in this shop. Runaway Dreams is created by a couple in Mexico City. I think I'm going to get this night and day pillow for my Niece :)

I always appreciate something a little nerdy, Gameboy Magnets, Cross stitch Kirby, and Ghosties made from Perler Beads from Argentina Collaborative.

I don't really wear earrings, but... are those Ritz crackers earrings?

You can get a Nautical Themed Backyard Chicken Coop. ....Of all things. Amazing!!

Look at all of these Cute Bunnies!

BettyBeatrix!

This girl I've never met, but I may have seen her around town and not known who she was. We live in the same town, and every day I am amazed at how many great and talented people live here. But Elise is one I'm feeling is specially gifted, and probably someone who's a lot of fun to be around.

You can buy on etsy and read about it in more detail on her blog.

Her Etsy store will have these blue kitties later on...!!!!

Ingenious!!!

These earrings are made with real oranges. They are dried, and varnished, so they're not going to make your neck sticky. You can buy them here on etsy. I'm waiting for smaller citrus varieties!

It's Ok My Dear

"For the romantic, adventurous, precious, and rare woman of a fantastical daydream."

Ashley Cheeks is the designer behind It's Ok My Dear. I don't know about sewing, but I do consider myself a lover of women's clothing. What she's been doing is a stand out, and it's all together pretty, unique, and adorable, but also a little daring - and definitely quirky.

Please do treat yourself, and check out her other fashions on Etsy! You'll fall in love!

And it doesn't hurt to have amazing photo work to showcase her pieces!

Boo!

What do you think of this?

I'm thinking about trying to make a greeting card series. Something cute like this. I made this when working on another logo at work, and just had a little side play time. If I took it a bit further, thought of a good phrase to go with it, maybe it might be likable enough to sell somewhere?

If nothing else it's something I enjoyed.

Ginger Williams

One of the sweet girls in town who is also extremely awesome, I haven't had the pleasure of getting to know (yet). This is Ginger Williams. Her art work has always stood out in our area, and she's always coming up with new styles it seems, but they all fit together in some way. They are creative in terms of subject, and I have noticed a progression in her talent over time.

Recently, she's created (or maybe she's only recently updated it) an etsy store. And now you can buy her work from all over the world! You are privileged! Take a look at her shapes and color palettes that make you want to sit back, relax, and eat an ice cream sandwich.

Something I'm Loving right now

I was browsing Etsy, and ran into this girl joojoo's store. Everything is SO CUTE. I really wish I could describe it with another word besides cute, but the colors, the shapes, and the animals and things, It's simply cute. I think these pictures speak for themselves.

She's got a great variety of types of creations as well, from drawings to hand painted items, jewelry, magnetic tiny animals, and more.
