Spreading the Etsy love

Comments (10)

There’s some people out there calling for some etsy love to be spread around. I will certainly do that! I’m just dropping in to say check out etsy.com for loads of awesome gift ideas. There is so much talent out there. Our shop is there, and in turn i buy a load of stuff from here. So without further waiting…

First up my favorite thing to find for other people. CARDS! We all know my love for the chicken butts over at youngandwithit But i found out a person who i’ve known online for quite some time...was selling her illustrations! Enter Designs By Cam. Cam draws these and prints them out for you, but look out she’s getting a gocco! Her cards are large and very pretty. They feature her hand drawn designs and if there’s something you see in her sold gallery she will get it to you in a jiffy. I really love to include handmade cards in my swap packages. Thanks for perking up my packages Cam. Please check out her shop. And if you live in the chicago area come september, when renegade craft fair strikes, her stuff will be in our booth! yay!


Next up a few items that came all the way from Israel. Three Green Apples is a sewing queen. She has great graphic stuff. I also collect Monorkuro Boo Pigs, if i can find them, which isn’t easy. So when i saw she had fabric featureing them. I snapped up a few items.


two keyfobs and a 7 x 6 zippered pouch


love them.

Now for your YARN pleasure: how about Lovesticks She has stripey yarns. And i bought this little set for fun cause my favorite color is orange. She dyed up the heel/toe yarn to match for me. Her yan is very soft and very pretty. Knits up great...and STRIPEY.




I also found a set of cute dpn holders from Lunastrixe Her shop called 3 owls knitting has some cute practical things.
I picked up some dog dpn holders...love them!



Those are some of my purchases, but don’t forget i purchase from dragonladydesigns and Zero to dress up your pouches. Kimberly and Aija are ALWAYS pleasant and add extra markers as samples in with what i buy for your pouches. I do this basically only to advertise other crafters. So please do not ignore their business cards! Check them out.

I leave you with my sewing from the weekend. I finished all of these and am working on a pile of dpn sock needle wallets. Just want to get rid of the small bits f fabric i have left on my sewing table.
the pouches all lined up




and a little peek at something i have to get ready to send out tomorrow. I hope this friend will like this present i’ve been working hard on!

i’m driving to chicago tomorrow for our annual sit on the blanket, sweat to death, and eat eli’s cheesecake, for the fireworks. So i’ll see y’all after the holiday. Also wishing all of my canadian readers a belated happy canada day.

Edited to add: holy crap. Did you guys see that. Eli’s cheesecake wants me to eat them so bad they left 2 comments. BUT NO COUPON. :(
Anyways, i’ll be heading to the taste of chicago and the fireworks now. y’all have an awesome holiday.

I love Etsy links - so much great stuff - not enough money!!!  :) that donut zipper pull - it made me laugh out loud!

Too bad I don’t use DPN’s - that doggie holder is right up my alley....
