I Heart Etsy

After reading this post on Dede's blog (who also happens to have an Etsy shop) I had to make my way over to French Kiss right away to find myself a treasure! Tammy Fischer is so creative with her jewelry designs and incorporates incredible vintage surprises into her pieces.

And need I remind you about how much I adore packaging? Details...it's all in the details. I could lie awake at night dreaming of ways to adorn and package things and never miss loosing sleep. Someone could even give me an empty box, beautifully wrapped and I would be just as thrilled as if there were diamonds inside.

Here's what I purchased. Love, love, love. I think I may wear them forever. I can't wait until she's added more to her shop so I can spend my kids inheritance.

Here is my recent stash of tags that I purchased from Brandywine Boutique. Brandy makes absolutely lovely tags that look so weathered and elegant. I especially like her birds, nests and eggs. I'll be using these for my items going to the barn sale this month.

I've been collecting soldered charms for about a year or so and really love the quality from Dove Grey Art Studio. I purchased the square beveled charm and the one above it from this lovely shop. I love looking at my growing collection scattered all over my Inspiration Board.

These mini bottles of glitter are the work of Marilyn Healey. The stoppers are made from rolled up paper and then wax sealed. Will I ever use them? Of course not! Too pretty. They make me smile just looking at them. I don't know if she still carries them but she does have lots of great German scrap and pretty paper packs. Cerri of Little Pink Studio carries small shaker bottles of German glass glitter and mica flakes. She's also having a giveaway on her blog and the drawing is on Wednesday the 6th so hurry on over!

Anytime sweet Rebecca Sower adds her wares to her Etsy shop I know to go while the gettin's good! Her offerings are so lovely and she truly inspires me to be more creative. Her artwork is so genuine and reflects her unique style. I want to be her neighbor one day and live down the road in the Nashville countryside. I'll pretend that I need to borrow a cup of sugar while I absorb her creative surroundings. Sounds fun doesn't it?

Teresa of French Poppy has a beautiful greeting card line. She has some French inspired cards along with birthday, holiday, all occasion and super cute chandelier designs. Her shop is a great place to find that unique card for your special someone.

There are so many more, but I have to stop somewhere on this post! Let me know if you enjoy my favorite Etsy shops and please support these talented women! If you'd like, I can do more posts on my Etsy Love since I shop there quite frequently!
