The one with some of my Etsy favourites

Lately I've been having some mixed feelings about Etsy, clearly things have changed. As a shop-owner: changed lay out, decreasing views and sales, and for me the whole community part of the website seems to have disappeared. But also as a shopper: the lay out of the frontpage (which often gave me cool suggestions of things I didn't know I was looking for), but also more and more sellers that clearly sell items that aren't made by them, are not antique, or aren't craft supplies. I come across the same stuff that is also being offered at websites as AliExpress, but also shopowners that claim to sell handmade, but are items that I also sell in my brick and mortar shop, that are made by another person. Well, with that being said, there still are makers that design and/or make their own items. These are some of the things that stood out for me the last couple of weeks. Are you a buyer or seller on Etsy? Any shops I should know about?

The one with Etsy finds

Because of the upcoming holiday season, I've been spending more time on Etsy than usual, in search of unique items that aren't available on every street corner. Buying from small shops (although I am guilty of buying from department shops occasionally) is something I love. Searching for that something special, supporting a dream, people who cook up unique items. Instead of buying things that are made by big corporations. How I spend my money is a choice. And I like to choose to spend it in a way, where I think I make the world a bit of a nicer place. Have you started your holiday shopping yet? Do you shop from websites like Etsy? Or local shops? Maybe I'll snatch up that little dove pendant for myself....

The one with the shameless self-promotion

Happy monday everyone! It's a cold, grey rainy day over here. So I am sitting at my desk together with a big glass of camomille tea and some chocolate to get me through the day.....

In case you were planning on doing some Christmas shopping over at my Etsy shop, please make sure to place your order before the 5th of December. When ordered before this date, you are sure to receive your Christmas prezzies in time for the holidays!

The one with some Etsy finds for the home

Since Etsy hasn't brought Treasuries back (yet)(but with the new CEO I am hoping they will be bringing the 'old' Etsy back), I am sharing some of my favourite finds here today. I am especially smitten with that dream of a mirror! Just to be clear, this post is just for fun, it's not in any way sponsored by Etsy, or the featured sellers.

The one with a shop update

As you may know, I have a shop on Etsy, and for a while now, I wasn't happy with the photos that accompanied my listings, so I gave my Etsy shop a little make over. I think the new photos make the items look more appealing, and make them stand out more in the crowd when they pop up in search results. To celebrate the new look of the shop, I am offering a 10% discount until the end of the month on all items by using code APRIL10.

 
 
Besides giving the items that were already in the shop a little make over, some brand new products were added too. Last friday the mailman dropped of a box full of black baby rompers and black and dark grey baby t-shirts for printing. I love that I am able now to order not just white and pastel colours for the little ones. Can't wait to start designing and printing them! In case you would like to order something with your own quote or design, don't hestitate to drop me a line.

The one with sunny Etsy picks

After a weekend with some sunshine, and temperatures that were pretty high for winter, we are back to cold days again. But I've got summer on my mind. Already! That's why I made this post with some sunny Etsy picks. I miss making treasuries on Etsy (and being featured in them with my shop, cause they were always good for extra views, and when one of my items was in a treasury that made it to the front page, that always got me some sales). I miss seeing pretty items I didn't know I needed in my life, or that made a perfect gift for a friend (yay for handmade presents, retrieved from small independed shops!). Seeing these bright colours (I even managed to squeeze in a pretty door!) make me happy, and in my mind I am already spending time reading books outside in the sun, accompanied by a yummy cocktail!

The one with colour

I don't know about you, but by now I've really had enough of grey days. Especially when those grey days are just grey, but rainy too! Temperatures have dropped this week, but things will look sunnier when the weekend comes. Until then, I'll keep procrastinating and looking for pretty colourful things. Here are some of the cute, bright things that caught my eye.

The one with the things I liked this week (92)


 Discovering two new works of art on the street, if the whole alphabet's 
there, there are many more to be found!



 These were a gift from mom, I didn't fall of Paige's no shopping challenge-wagon (yet)!

 Grocery shopping for a fondue-party. I know I could be making my own,
but the cheese from these packages are actually my favourite!

 Making, photographing, and listing new stuff for the shop

 After receiving new washi tapes for the brick and mortar shop, I decided to 
keep these for myself!

The one with awesome Etsy finds








Seriously, how awesome is that Freddy doll? Ever since I spotted this guy, I can't seem to be getting bicycle race out of my head. Have you spotted (or maybe even treated yourself to) some online goodies?
