I am so excited to share with you a few of "My New Favorite Things!" And it just so happens that I found most of them through my new favorite site...ETSY! I love Etsy! Etsy is a world of very talented people who have a love for buying, selling and supporting handmade products!
I have been so thrilled to join the Etsy team with my new shop and have been very fortunate to meet and do business with some really great and talented people already. So, today, I would love so much to share a few of My New Favorite Things with you. I have 6 wonderful things to share with you and 5 of which, you will have a chance to win!
So without further ado....in no particular order, here they are!
Meet Polly Danger, a wonderfully talented, crafty girl out of LA. She makes the cutest little wallets I have ever seen! I have had the pleasure of chatting back and forth with her and doing business with her and both were a delight. :)
I recently treated myself to one of her mini wallets....did I mention how incredibly fun they are?! I was going to just post a photo from her shop, but I got my very own in the mail today!!! I am so excited to have it and to share with you!
this is how I got it- packaged all cute and with a fun little iron-on bird from the fabric I chose!
Isn't it great!
and practical too!! Look at those pockets! What I love even more about this is the size. This is one of her mini wallets. I love that it is small enough to grab and go and to even put in my pocket. I don't get to carry a purse much anymore, but rather a large diaper bag full of essentials for three toddlers! So...this is cute, stylish, will hold my essentials and can go in my pocket or my bag!And, they are totally affordable!
You know you want one now.......
Go check out her shop at www.PollyDanger.etsy.com
Another delightful, talented gal that I have had the pleasure of chatting with and doing business with! She creates her super fun tags out of Canada....which is too bad, because she seems like the kind of gal that I would love to sip a cup of coffee with.
Her shop is full of some of My New Favorite Things- tags, cards, and handmade paper embellishments. I haven't seen anything that I do not absolutely adore!
She made some custom tags for my products that I am very excited about! I was seriously like a little kid at Christmas when my package of PacoKeco goodies arrived in the mail!
You have to see her shop!!! And keep reading, because she has so generously joined us for the giveaway and I want to get you hooked on PacoKeco scribbles!!!
These fun Pocket Perks are just a sampling of her giveaway package!
Go browse her shop and fall in love- www.pacokeco.etsy.com
And yet another talented lady, but this one is near and dear to my heart. The woman behind the beautiful creations of IM Girl is my mom! Any ounce of creativity that I have is not only a gift from God, but has been passed onto me from my beautiful mom.
One of my new Favorite Things is my gorgeous, unique skeleton key necklace.
I got to choose what I wanted the tag to say, so mine says "Chosen." The lampwork bead is made directly onto the key. Isn't this gorgeous! I just love it!
Did I mention that IM Girl also does amazing things to vintage dominoes?!! These are apart her desk set series. You can have a piece of art on your desk and something to mess with while on work calls!
Do you love it?! Well, check back because IM Girl is giving this one away!!!
If you are local, you can see her pieces in person at the Just T-s-N Downtown store.
Or check out her shop www.IMGirl.etsy.com
And guess what- IM Girl is participating in the giveaway too!!!
More local, talented girls!!! I found these girls on Etsy just recently and what a fun bunch of girls they seem to be! They have a great shop with lots of variety!
Check out my soon to be ring!
Isn't it fun!
These girls have some great customer service too! They were quick to respond to my question and quick to offer to take this ring apart and resize it for me!!! WOW!
Here is a sampling of some of their great variety! They make and sell these fabulous coaster sets too!
....could this be a giveaway prize too? You'll have to wait and see..... ;)
And more Favorites!!! The adorable little crocheted hats from Maria's Boutique are definitely one of My New Favorite Things!!! My little girl was given one of these for Christmas and we love it!!!
Adorable right!!!?
You can custom order these- right down to the colors in the flower! I love it!
