Etsy.com is such a wonderful place for all things handmade. The people are friendly and talented. I am a huge advocate of buying handmade items so I've devoted this section of the blog to etsy people and their stores. Here I'll feature stuff I want, stuff you need and just lots of really cool stuff from etsy. Check back often, subscribe, sign up for the mailing list and be sure to check out the Lollipops and Polka Dots Boutique and Etsy Store.

 

Pouncing...

August 13, 2009
It's been a while since I took a minute to "Pounce" around on Etsy. I just love hitting that button and not knowing what I'll find! There are so many cool artists out there! Here's a few awesome finds...



I love this silk flower pendant. It is amazing and beautiful. It must take great talent to create these Japanese flowers. You can find a lot of things like this at I Gotta Have That's shop.



This ring is very cool and very much my style. I love ornate butterfly designs. There are tons of other ornate designs at chinookhug's shop. I liked everything I saw.


I really love the purses at Little Olive Branch's shop! All of them are really cute. The wallets are great too!


Check out these shops and do some "pouncing" of your own!

We are moving this week. I should really be packing.
What am I doing?
Looking at cool stuff on Etsy!


I saw this store tweeted and checked it out. Loooooove these skirts!
Siam2U has tons of great skirts like this and amazing dresses.


So, of course I checked out the person who tweeted about that shop and, what do you know, it's an Etsy seller! And all her earrings are on clearance! Can't beat that with a stick!
Check out this cute pair at the Clearance Earrings Shop!


I hopped over to the Etsy "Pou...

Forum Clicking...

July 15, 2009
So, sometimes I like to go to the forums of Etsy and randomly click on sellers. It's more fun than doing categorized searches and I like to be surprised because I can't see their avatars. Here's a few really cool sellers I found during my recent random clicking...


ArtBox Designs
Ok, less of a random click and more of a cool seller from a forum thread. Still, definitely worthy of an Etsy Love nod! I love the jewelry sellers of Etsy and this one is really cool. In addition to the jewelry there's ...

Art is not a thing, it is a way...

July 8, 2009
I want to take a moment to give these Etsy sellers a great big hug.

Why?

Because our world is a better place when we have artists like these.

So, enjoy looking at all the wonderful art in these shops and everywhere else. Remember how important it is to have it in your life. Teach your children about art and raise them to hold it in their hearts. Because, as Pablo Picasso said, "
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."


My husband would absolutely love t...

These are Blogging Great!

The other totally awesome shop I found while up too late tonight is
