Etsy Favorites

Thought I would share some more of my favorite Etsy shops.  I totally cracked up when I first saw the listing for this print titled 'Goat wish upon a star' by artist Martin Jovev.  Check out his shop, it will make you smile!

My son would have LOVED this robot bank when he was younger, he would probably love it now, for that matter!  The artist, Scott Nelles, has a great shop full of wonderful things!

Can you imagine, these are sugar!  Each Wild Sugar Mushroom is hand sculpted, so no two are alike.  Jason and Andie of Andie's Specialty Sweets make some very creative candies, do check them out!

I thought I would share some of my favorite Etsy shops, with a bit of a dark side, in honor of Halloween.  There are some very talented artists on Etsy, you should stop by and check them out!

 

This beautiful mask, and many others, are made by a very talented artist from Spain, Coco Martin of Cocone

 

I love the art of Jen Leiner.  It reminds me of the art of my childhood.

 

The "Weirdly Cute" work of WeirdlyCute is very unique!  I just love this choker!

 

Lastly, I bring you the work of Colleen Downs of loopyboopy.  Her dolls are amazing and I have been a big fan of her work for a long time.

Sharing some Etsy Favorites

I absolutely LOVE Jenny Kims jewelry! She sculpts, and casts, all of her jewelry.  Her flower designs are so beautiful. Romantic and sweet, these are definitely a favorite of mine.

 

These beautiful porcelain tea candle holders are all hand crafted by the very talented artist Weny Jung.  Her work is really just so lovely.

Next are some of the most beautiful ring bearer pillows I have seen.  These designs are all great.  I really like the ones with the silk flowers with rhinestone centers, but this simple ivory pillow is my favorite.  Made by EmiciBridal and constructed out of ivory silk dupioni, vintage alencon lace and double face satin ribbons.  These are romantic and would even look great on your bed, after the wedding!

Lastly, I had to add these darling little soaps made by KcSoapsNmore.  These are so cute!   I think all of their designs are cute, but of course, I do have a soft spot for cute little birdies! :)

 

"Thank you" to CaseyDavis for including our birds in this beautiful treasury, which made the front page of Etsy this morning.  What a lovely collection of items!

Thank you so much for including us!!

RLS in The Storque

Thank you, Etsy!

Etsy Favorites...just in time for Mother's Day!

I thought that I would share some of my newest Etsy favorites!  These are all eco friendly, repurposed or all natural!  Any of these would make a fabulous gift for Mom, or anyone! 

This first is an idea that I think is great!  I have a book that I am going to have made for someone that I know, who will totally love this!  It is going to make a wonderful Christmas gift, but would also make a wonderful gift for Mom, too! 

These are re-purposed books that have been hollowed out to hold any number of treasures.  These Secret Safe Books feature a (((Magnetic Closure))) in each corner for a secure close with a SNAP so your secrets will STAY secrets even when your book is upright.  These can be found in the wonderful shop of Secret Safe Books

 

Next are some wonderfully natural soaps.  The ones shown below are Grapefruit Bergamot Soap with Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter...Mmmmm!!!  So yummy for the skin!  All soaps are made fresh from scratch with high quality oils and butters using the cold process method. You’ll never find any filler oils, animal oils, or mineral oil/petroleum products in any of these bars!  You can find these, and many other wonderful products at Dress Green

I LOVE this next shop.  They have several bags on my 'must have' list!  The ultimate grad-and-go traveling partner, this bag will go to the ends of the earth with you and back. Made from FAIR TRADE coffee burlap sacks and ORGANIC hemp canvas. The burlap and hemp canvas in places has been fused with a natural cotton fabric for extra strength. The coffee sack that this bag is made of comes from India. The elephant and text is indigo blue.  You can find this and many more wonderful bags at The Wren

I thought I would share a few more of my Etsy favorites.  It is probably apparent that I love little birdies, so I am sure it is no surprise that I have chosen this picture.  I love this artist, Laura Sue.  This is one of several favorites from her Etsy site, EarthArt

Seeing this next listing made me smile!  We lost our little Boston Terrier, Licorice, last year.  She was 11 and was silly and super active till the end.  This little hat would have been so adorable on her!  This little cutie comes from Etsy shop NurdBunny

This ring is made by one of my favorite Etsy jewelry designers.  In my last 'Etsy Favorites' post I had a ring of hers listed that was on my Christmas list.  I am happy to say that Santa surprised me with it on Christmas morning!  It is beautiful and I love my ring!  This ring caught my eye and is a newer design of Natasha's, this one will be on my Birthday wish list!!  This and more can be found at her Etsy shop NatashaKahnDesigns

Sharing a few more of my Etsy favorites.  I just love this Baroque style wrap, the handmade organza blooms with nestling pearls are beautiful.  This is made by Bonzie, a talented Aunt and Niece Design Duo from Waterford, Ireland.

I live very close to the water and one of my favorite things to do is to walk the beach to see what treasures I can find.  I just love these driftwood candle holders from the beaches of Northern California.  These are made by a company called NaturesCabinet
These are beautiful and would make such a great gift!

This last shop has a ring that is on my Christmas list this year!  I LOVE this ring.  It is one of the first things I saved to my favorites when I found Etsy.  This is made by a very talented artist, Natasha Kahn of NatashaKahnDesigns out of Miami Florida.

I love the story of Thumbelina by  Hans Christian Andersen.  It was a favorite of mine when I was young.  When I saw this, I thought it was so darling!  Isabella Baudelaire is the talented artist behind Isabella's Art.  This is her shadow puppet - Thumbelina

This gorgeous pouch is made from Italian leather and adorned with darling leather poppies.  This and other wonderful things are made by Sakura Urban Studio.

These rings are so cool!!  Made by Brent and Jessica Williams, these wedding bands are so unique.  They are imprinted with the fingerprints of you and your future sweetie.  They send you an Impression Kit in the mail, then use that to make a wax form from the impression material. Check them out on their Etsy site, Fabuluster.

Please check out these wonderful Etsy Artists.  There are many treasures to be found!

I could spend hours looking at all the wonderful things that Etsy artists have to offer.  I thought I would share a few more of my favorites with you. 

I actually bought this pattern from this wonderful lady and made these hats for my Nieces for Christmas.  They LOVED them!  This is a detailed and easy to follow Crochet pattern by Bella McBride 

 

I am thinking of tiling a wall in our kitchen.  While looking for ideas, I came across this great artist and fell in love with this lobster tile.  Even my husband likes it!  This, and many other wonderful tiles, can be found at Gretchen Kramp

Lastly is an artist from my neck of the woods.  I just love her dimensional paintings.  You can find this and more of her work at VictorySprings
