Have I told you before that I LOVE ETSY!!! Not only the shops, but the people who own the shops! They're supportive and helpful, funny and creative. I'd like to share the things I like in their shops and the things I've bought from them. Afterward I'll show you the new and different felt and bead necklace I made yesterday!
You probably will know some of these shops if you follow me on Twitter
http://twitter.com/PoetessWug2 because I'm always nosing around in their shops and sharing what they do!
"CinLynnBoutique"
http://www.etsy.com/shop/cinlynnboutique is a great shop full of Purse Pulls and other jewelry. I LOVE this shop...and I've spent the money in there to prove it! LOL If I showed you all of the goodies I've bought from her I could fill up this blog...REALLY! This "Black and White Stripe Zipper Pull" is one I bought.
Isn't it gorgeous?! I can't wait to add it to one of my creations. Either a crochet necklace or a purse. Probably a necklace. I just bought some beads I think would accent it perfectly!...This is something she has in the shop now. It's a "Carved Carnelian and Afghani Purse Pull"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/49441903/carved-carnelian-and-afghani-purse
I'm partial to her purse pulls, but if you're looking for sheer beauty...check out her whole shop!
http://www.etsy.com/shop/CinLynnBoutique She has bracelets, earrings, and necklaces that are exquisitely designed. Can you tell I love it!
I bought this gorgeous "Reversible Carved Brazilian Citrine Puffy Heart Pendant" a little while ago from "GlimmeringGems"
http://www.etsy.com/shop/GlimmeringGems
She's got a whole shop full of beautiful gems!! She has something new in there almost every day. That's why I'm always nosing around in there! :-) This is in her shop now...
It's a "Pretty Bright Violet Purple Amethyst Unpolished Point Pendant Inv. 32"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/49096921/pretty-bright-violet-purple-amethyst Check her shop out...and be prepared to Oooo and Awwwww!
This buy, my Product Catalog, was purchased thanks to the help of "LittleFoxPhotos", or Little Fox, that's what I call her. ...
Her shop is a photo dream of wildlife and nature photography!
http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlefoxphotos She makes banners too! The "Blue Mountains Panorama Print"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/40920094/blue-mountains-panorama-print shown in a mounted room setting here...
is only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, of what she has in her shop. Check it out for yourself!
These next shops all have things in them that I just love and think you should love too! Like "Myatticstreasures"
http://www.etsy.com/shop/myatticstreasures These are a couple of vintage goodies she has in her shop...
like this "Vintage Yellow and White Daisy Half Apron"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/29285312/vintage-apron-yellow-and-white-daisy and this "Vintage Character Garfield Glass 1978"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/37582122/vintage-character-glass-anchor-hocking
She has so many wonderful vintage items that you just have to check the shop out yourself. I KNOW you'll find something you'll like in there!...Just as a side note, I owe her great thanks for all of her help in navigating the whole SEO thing too! Thanks to her my shop is finally visible in the internet world. Thank you!!!

This next shop belongs to my "Flyers" fan pal. It's "NatCraftsandPhotos"

ReplyDeleteHi there - Thank you so much! I am so touched that you included me with all of this amazing talent! I just love the etsy folks you picked today & the pixs are great! By the way, I love your new necklace - it's beautiful. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the shops you've featured, but my favorite part was your poem! I made the front page once too, and the joy in your poem really sums up the rush being featured there can give someone.
ReplyDeleteCraftgal, It was my pleasure! How could I not feature your beautiful work...and such a beautiful person too?!...And thanks for the complement on the necklace too! :-)
ReplyDeleteSarah, Thanks for the nice words about the poem! I wrote it as soon as my little necklace hit the front page...so the joy was immediately down on paper! It's only happened that one time for me, so far. All creators should feel that joy about what they do at least ONCE!! :-)
I'm little bit late, but thank you so much for featuring, Debbie! I love read your blog, I really love how you write about people. I know and I love all the shops too...Congrats to you on the FP!
