I have an ever-growing list of Etsy favorites, and I thought I would share them with you! In fact, I think I will make a new post once a week sharing a few of my favorite finds. I'm feeling extra inspired lately, and browsing wares made by amazing creative people really puts me in the mood to make things! I like to use exclamation points!!
This week's theme: L'Amour. With just enough time for purchase for Valentine's Day!
Things for yourself or your hunny bunny.
Clockwise from top left:
- LOVE Languages Typography print by jenniferramos, $25. I really adore Jennifer's prints. I stumbled upon her blog and shop this week and stopped in my tracks at this print. The subtle twist with the grey letters is so perfect. Her customizable ABC posters are also really sweet. Great in a kid's room or for your creative/designy man/ladyfranz.
- Regency Valentine with Swallows by hellohandmadepaperie, $14. How could you not love Betsy Dunlap's romantic calligraphy? Her site is chock full of yummy eye candy--I want her beautiful script styles all over everything I own. But I can settle for a personalized, handwritten love letter. Can you believe how pretty these are? Very Jane Austen. I know at least one lady that would have her socks knocked off from receiving one of these lovely letters. Send one to your penpal abroad, or someone you secretly admire. So romantic.
- How to Marry a Millionaire bra and knickers set by gildapearl, $110. These are the most beautiful pieces of lingerie I have come across in ages! This set even beats the pants (har har) off of Agent Provocateur's wares. This is a great self-indulgent gift that can be your little secret.
- Vintage herkimer flower ring from EarthVisible, $28. I loooove herkimer diamond rings. The jagged, weathered rocks are a stark contrast from your everyday bling. If you need to put a ring on it, this vintage piece is a lovely choice! I keep looking at it and am itching to get it for myself. It looks like there's only one, quick before someone else snatches it up!
Speaking of crafty people, I had an excellent ladies' crafternoon on Friday. Will post the resulting project in the next few days.
I love Etsy for inspiration! Unfortunately I'm not very crafty, but I aspire to be (oh for some more time ... or talent).
ReplyDeleteIf you're a lover of lacy things, you should check out Tree and Kimball or White Owl on Esty. They make gorgeous lace jewelry.
The herkimer diamond ring is beautiful! I'd heard about the stone before but totally forgot it's name, so thanks for reminding me!

Oh man, that ring and that lingerie set are CALLING MY NAME. I'm going to try to be good until the end of the month after Paris extravagances though. I think/hope that ring is made to order though, so hopefully one will still be available when I'm ready for it....I love etsy, but the hardest part is that sometimes the beautiful things you see there go away forever if you don't act quickly enough...
