Etsy Sunday - London Calling!

Posted by Sarah on Aug 02, 2009

Whew - here we are! My favorite city in the world, after Houston naturally (seriously, it’s ok to heart Houston people - have some pride!), is filled to the brim with creative and awesome people!

First up, Miss Bumbles, who specializes in adorable felted animals, people and photo greeting cards of whimsical scenes. I want to buy all of these and decorate my sewing room at home with them - or make some in our next Needle Felting class!

Hats have been on the brain lately - we made some for the Kentucky Derby this year and we will most certainly have a hat decorating tea party during the holidays - which is why I was attracted to Tied and Feathered’s perfect veiled fascinators!

That’s it for your UK Etsy Sunday series - I have a plane to catch! As we head home from a whirlwind adventure through the UK, I can’t help but think of how blessed I am to see the world yet still be excited to come home - see you soon peeps!

Etsy Sunday - Edinburgh’s Best!

Posted by Sarah on Jul 26, 2009

Seriously! Like a freakin’ “castle” castle. On a cliff. With mist. Really people - no foolin’!

I’m almost as impress with this castle as I am with what Edinburgh’s crafters are offering via Etsy! The jewelry at Luxedeluxe is indeed luxurious, but missing the hefty price tag, while Jess Lovell’s spooky and kooky linocuts make me smile - office decor anyone?

Last but not least, Emma Lamb’s rocking crocheted masterpieces make me want to redecorate! Maybe this will be my office theme for the new place? Hmmm…

Whew! This was a hard post - there are so many amazing sellers representing Edinburgh it was difficult to choose which ones to feature! Next up, London!

Etsy Sunday - Glasgow’s Best!

Posted by Sarah on Jul 19, 2009

The cold weather really suits me - especially when I have been sweating it out in Houston for the past few months (sorry Houston peeps - I will try and bring a cold front back with me!).
And apparently so does Glasgow. No sooner than I typed in Glasgow in Etsy’s Shop Local search bar did Asking For Trouble’s shop pop up! Cupcakes, adorable pin sets and journals that would have Happy Katie jumping for joy!

I nearly bought one of Scottish Etsian Breagha hawt ruffle bags, but then was thwarted by Mr. Sew Crafty, while another cool seller, Covetables, had me at “Make Your Own Owl Kit

That does it for this week’s Etsy Sunday - I have a glen and a ghost tour calling my name! Tune in next week for Etsy Sunday - Edinburgh edition!

Anyone who comes around Sew Crafty knows how Abby and I feel about fabric - about the same as Melissa feels about yarn! So finding an Etsy seller like Swanky Swell totally makes my day - as I’m sure the awesome hand screened fabric designs and adorable pillows will make yours!

Etsy Sunday - Prince Design UK

Posted by Sarah on Jun 21, 2009

My trip across the pond is coming up so soon I can taste it, which is why I am currently obsessed with all things UK! Nearly by accident, I came across Prince Designs UK - an adorable shop with cool ceramic bowls, dishes, brooches and home decor!
