Recent Favorites

I'm pretty much addicted to checking out the latest Treasuries on Etsy.com (updated every hour!).  This leads to a lot of browsing other peoples' shops.  Lately I've been trying to add shops to my Favorites that really stand out to me so I can add them to my own Treasury when I make one eventually, and of course so I can buy from them in the future.  I wanted to share a few that I've really enjoyed enjoyed browsing.  

This guy makes clocks out of everything!  I swear my mom had this same pumpkin-colored tupperware when I was a little kid.  I love his Scrabble tile shop banner, too!






Beautiful, handmade wooden jewelry.  This artist's work is quite unique.  There's even a listing for a surprise necklace for only $12!  That's a great deal, since most of her pieces are $18-$40 (still a great price).  Her photos make me want to use color-coordinated backgrounds for my pieces, rather than plain white.  



Hmm... I must be in the mood for orange.  Here's one more cool shop, and a non-orange object.

Beautiful jewelry designed by a preservation architect.  I tend to really love the work of artists whose background is in something other than what they are creating, because their work tends to be a marriage of their training and their passion.  These earrings stood out to me, but her shop is filled with beautiful gold and sterling silver designs that are quite different from these.

So, check out these shops and support handmade!  And if you ever want to get a gift for me... hint hint...
