Team Thursday - Etsy Kids Favourites

It's been such a long time since I did one of these.  I am totally out of the blogging swing :)

I just found this from fellow team member ChickadeeVinyl.  It'd look cute in any nursery!

Check it out in their shop

11 of 52 - Etsy Euro Week!

This week is Euro Week on Etsy! It's the time to remind everyone in the Etsy community that we europeans are here too. We ship worldwide, we like to buy worldwide and you can buy unique and wonderful things from us!

You can read Etsy's blog post about Euro week here!

To celebrate, I thought i'd share some of my European Favourites

These items are:

Biba Bloom Clutch by RedRubyRose

To shop Europe this week, use Etsy's 'Shop Local' Feature and search 'Europe' or search on Twitter for #EtsyEuroWeek.

I hope you uncover a Euro-treat this week!

5 of 52 - Ooops!

Well my intentions went a bit awry

I have an excuse though because I have been poorly and I am now convalescing at home and keeping myself busy with a few little projects. So, I thought this might be a good time to share some of the blogs and podcasts I like and I hope you'll recommend a few to me in the comments below:

I just discovered this blog on the crafting community http://makeandmeaning.com/

And of course it wouldn't be right if I didn't include the Etsy blog http://www.etsy.com/storque/

Check out UK Handmade for all the UK crafting goings on http://ukhandmade.blogspot.com/

These are my favourite Knitting blogs (for when I need my yarn fix)

http://www.hoxtonhandmade.com/ Mostly I love Katie's podcast, even though she doesn't knit socks (she says) and plays the ukulele!

http://westknits.blogspot.com/ I only just found this one too. I seem to be a bit obsessed with boys who knit :)

And these are a few of other great crafters:

http://alibalijewellery.blogspot.com/ A maker of beautiful silver jewellery

http://feltmeupdesigns.blogspot.com/ A maker of cute tweets and gorgeous prints

http://cowislandblogspot.blogspot.com/ Simply because it makes me laugh!

So, these are a few of my favourites. What are yours?

3 of 52 - A few favourites

There are lots and lots of amazing sellers in the UK so I thought i'd share a few of my favourites.



The sellers are (from the top!)

AliBaliJewellery who made an amazing ring for my sister for her birthday

MooCowHandknits who made those gorgeous elbow length gloves for the same sister for Christmas

QuercusSilver who made a gorgeous pendant that I received for Christmas (I say received, I bought it and gave it my husband and said 'you can give me that for christmas....')

I hope you enjoy them too!
