Flapperdoodle

I love the name. Flapperdoodle.

Flapperdoodle is getting a lot of love recently, apparently the shop was just voted "the most promising new shop on Etsy". I didn't even know that was a distinction, so that's pretty cool! What drew me (ha) to the shop was the illustration. If you read her shop profile you can read about the evolution of her art (and the shop names to go along). Very interesting read.

On to the flapper art!

Minimalist yet cheeky. Love it. Let's support this promising shop and check it out. Leave some love in the comments! :)

MollyHatch

I've been reading a lot of Questionable Content lately, so as homage to the Northampton, MA location of the strip (a town that has some kickin' ice cream, music and art shops) I decided to feature an Etsian from there. Welcome MollyHatch, a wonderful shop filled with useful ceramic items like mugs and tumblers. The designs on her pieces are made with inlay, a ceramic process in which lines are drawn on the clay and filled with a contrasting colored slip. Nice! I love the look of these pieces.

Very nice. I'm off to teach some ceramics of my own, so enjoy these pieces, leave a comment and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Friday Featured Seller - JustShana16

Congratulations to JustShana16, this week's Featured Seller! The title of her shop is Sew Southern, which makes sense as she is from Lexington, Kentucky. Shana's shop is filled with flowers which you can use for a magnet, hairclip, brooch or what have you. I love the choices of fabrics and the button and thread embellishments. Very cute!

Stop by Shana's shop and read up on what she's all about, and if you want to be featured just like her, leave a comment before you leave today!

GingerSnappz

Apparently Gingersnappz got her start selling nursing covers to the masses, but that is not what drew me to her shop. I need hairbands. Oh, do I ever. You see, teaching a bunch of little kids to play in clay while trying to keep the hair out of your face equals clay in your hair. It's stylish. Even when you're running errands after class and are unaware of this fact.

So. Hairbands. Necessity.

Why I love Ginger's is because of her fabric choices. They coordinate well and I can see them going with a variety of outfits. I thought about trying to make my own but you know what, I'm going to support Etsy instead. Which is why I write about them here.

Here are my top three:

Berry Dots and Pink Wallflower

City Girl and Green Tree Peony

Tree Peony Lotus and Rainbow Sherbet

I love the bright colors. I'm hearting this for future use when I get my next paycheck. Tell me what your favorite is in the comments below. I pick the Friday Featured Seller tomorrow and you don't want to miss out!

FlowerPress

I feel like I've come across FlowerPress before and I meant to blog about it. They've been getting a lot of press between Decor8, Modish and Etsy's Storque plus many others (and now little ol' me). The shop out of Sydney features linen and cotton printed towels as well as prints and cards.

The filigreed towels come in a variety of colors and look oh so stylish. No wonder FlowerPress is getting so much press! Tell me what you think in the comments section below.

Knap

Oh Knap! Coming at you from Tokyo, her shop features simple yet beautiful glass jewelry with a pop of color. I love the shape and the colors of glass. There are a mix of earrings and necklaces in her shop, all beautiful.

Love that last photo. They look like two red berries, don't they? There are some other great colors on her site, lime green and a sweet navy. Check it out! Leave a comment too to share the love!

Berniolie

Some of you (unless you live Down Under and are currently in winter) may view me as crazy for salivating over warm capelets and fuzzy shrugs but I love them. Even in summer I love looking at them. When the weather starts to cool - beyond the out of season cooler July temperatures we've been having - that is the one thing I'm looking forward to. Scarf season! I've got scarves and scarflettes down, but what I really admire are capelets, shrugs and other fun things you can wear. Berniolie creates these lovely items in her shop and also sells the PDF in her other shop so you can give it a go. Now that's talent!

Mmmm, don't you want to just wrap up in one? There are so many others where that came from, so check out her shop to see more. It's not too early to get on the Friday Featured Seller train, so drop a comment too!
