Splendidly Crafted Saturday

Welcome to another Etsy product feature here at my blog! It has been a rough week in computerland with the demise of my beloved Macbook; I feel so betrayed. However, it could have been worse and I feel lucky that the situation was fixable and that a warranty covered most of the expense. My pockets are only so deep after putting out the money to start a business (please imagine for me a sad-faced cartoon character holding the ends of inside out pockets). Ah well, my financial woes aside, I would still like to recommend a few places that you should spend your hard earned monies. Most of the shops I have seen on Etsy have incredibly reasonable prices once you factor in the time it took to carefully handcraft each item (or locate the snazzy vintage ones). So, here we go...

Touche Designs
I didn't really ever think that I would be calling a birthday card chic, but this has style. I love the bold colors and the glam fonts; I would feel so good about giving this to someone. Best of all though, the prices beat most of the drug stores' and gift shops' cookie cutter cards and you know that your loved one won't get a duplicate of the same thing from someone else.


Only One
I adore this shop! Handcrafted crocheted animals are the perfect gift for any child or as a get well soon gift for someone recovering who needs a soft friend. I had to pick this bear because it has a costume, it's a dinosaur bear; the cuteness goes on and on and the costume is removable so Mr. Bear has a dressed down look, too!


Flowers From Fatima
This shop has hair accessories and more for every occasion. This headband was my favorite because of the simplicity and radiance of the green hydrangeas. It would be perfect to dress up a sweet summer dress or for a flower girl or even for a non-traditional bride.



Heavenly Trinkets
This little shop has some really unique jewelry ideas like these lovely clear earrings. I love that they have created the sexiness of a long dangle earring while keeping the pair light and comfortable to wear. The sparkle of the Swarovski elements would really add that special pop to a date night outfit.


Thread Spider
Who says only little girls can pin purple flowers into their hair? Not this seller! Thread spider has created this sassy and adorable hair comb with stitched silk flowers accented with beads and pearls. Now granted, this would be the sweetest slipped into a little girls tresses, but I would also love to perch it into the side of a sexy updo. Little girls can't have all the fun!


Crafted By Design
I know I have talked about shops having variety before, but I hadn't seen anything yet. Crafted by Design has so many different handcrafted items for you to browse and peruse. I picked this delightful little Baby Shower gift basket for a little girl (boys colors also available). In your late 20s it seems like if there isn't a wedding to attend there is a baby shower; how sweet and simple to get a prepared gift basket full of handmade items.


Whew, so much fun to look through all those shops, you should do it, too! I'll be back next Wednesday with more; if you would like to have a product featured please leave a comment with a link to your shop. Have a great weekend!
