Favorites Friday


This week my favorite is a women who makes the cutest little tea sets. When I was a little girl I would have died for something this adorable. They are made by KymminNC.etsy.com who of course I met in chat.

They are also really reasonable at between $40 and $45 a set I think they are a steal.
I know I have mentioned this several times, but for new sellers I would definitely check out the chat rooms. I know it can seem intimidating, but once you have done it a few times you'll see it is really no big deal. The best part is it is free exposure, most of my favorites I have found in chat rooms.

So....Please check out her shop and enjoy :)

Favorites Friday


This week my favorite is again something that I saw in the chat rooms. I have to say for anyone looking for some good exposure I would definitly do the chat rooms. They are alot of fun, you meet some really cool people, and you get free exposure. I've made 2 sales and at least 3 trades from chat rooms.

Anyway.... back to my favorite for the week. I saw these cute little guys in the chat rooms and fell in love. They are made by http://www.zafras.etsy.com/ She only has a few too choose from (which is probably a good thing since I wouldn't be able to decide between even what she has) but they are all adorable.

This one is named Sweetums, which I would say seems appropriate. Some of the others are Ellie, Murple, and AyLee Ann.

As I always say please check out her shop and show her some Etsy love.

I have not been a good blogger lately. I always feel like I am doing it more for myself, but I guess that is ok too. I have added a new hat to my page. It is one that I made for my daughter (guess she is a good muse). We decided to add the flower with a button so I can change it out when the mood strikes her.
Also, I am hosting a giveaway on handmademovement.com the home home of the sneak attack. It is for one of my dolls if anyone is interested check it out. And as always enjoy the attacks :)

Favorites Friday


For this weeks favorite I have chosen a jewelry favorite. I don't usually do jewelry because I do my own. But I do the more basic thing of stringing. This jewelry is much more original - hence the name - http://www.anoriginaljewelry.etsy.com/

This is just one of the very interesting pieces of art that she has in her shop. They are all cut pieces and she even does custom initals that are beautiful!!!

Please check out her site and let her know how much you enjoy her work too.

Ok this week my favorite is just something fun. I can crochet, but knitting is whole other animal. This week I am featuring Amberae.etsy.com She has come up with this great idea called "harfs". They are both a hat and a scarf. I am showing the photos of all because I don't think they can truly be appreciated otherwise. I think they would make wonderful gifts for men or women, especially considering you can choose your color. (I know I can't believe I am thinking of gifts already).



Anyway please check out her shop and show her some Etsy love.



I would also like to mention I have joined a BNR. For those of you who do not know what that is (myself included) it is a "buy and replace" deal. Basically you have to buy onto the list (which was easy, we have some great sellers) and then once you are there you basically have lots of exposure since whenever anyone clicks on the post in the forum they see your name and what you sell. I am on the BNR that is hosted by ddots, so just type in BNR in the forum titles and search for the one w/ddots.



I also have to say regarding the BNR this is an excellent group of women. They all are very supportive and active in the group so it makes you feel very welcome.



Thanks all and have a wonderful weekend.

New Items



Well I have added a few new items to the shop that I haven't mentioned. First I added a crochet hat. I have crocheted for a long time, but nothing on Etsy until last week. The best part about the hat is that my little peanut is wearing it :) She is the best model.

Also, I added today a new doll. Her name is Thuy (named after my first custom Asian order) and she is the Asian version of the dolls I already have posted. Since I have had 3 requests for Asian dolls I thought it might be time to add them to the inventory :)

Well this week I plan on doing two favorites, the first one is one I came across in the chat rooms. It is http://www.treeforyou.etsy.com/ she has the coolest idea. I am always excited when I come across something truly original and something I personally have never thought of. They are necklaces with a bottle (which I've seen w/perfume and things like that), and in the bottle is a little tree.
Isn't that the neatest thing? If you, or someone you know, are really eco excited I thought it would be a great gift.
Let me know what you think and give her some love by visiting her site.



Another artist that I appreciate is http://themidnightorange.etsy.com/ she has some really cute and kid friendly prints for a great price.

I tend to enjoy prints, mainly because it is something that I don't do. I have a hard time purchasing something that I know I could make. Prints are something I know I can't. The other interesting thing about her work is that the prints are of sculptures that she has done.

Again thought that it was a very interesting and original idea. Please show her some etsy love as well.
