JSGlassArt

I don't know if the fall leaves have peaked by you (they have for us finally in the Midwest) but in the spirit of so much color, I went on a hunt for leaves on Etsy. What caught my attention was a fused glass plate by JS Glass Art. Their application perfectly captures the ever changing color of leaves this time of year. Since Halloween is just around the corner, there are a couple goodies you can check out too.

Hiatus

Hi folks,

I apologize for not keeping this blog current for the past month. Life took over. Between school, work, car accidents, house hunting and other things, it was hard to keep this blog up with the attention it deserved.

So, this weekend I'm getting back on the train to share with you more Etsy goodness especially in time for the holidays! Look for the fun on Monday.

BarefootWeaver

Want to know about BarefootWeaver? Just read her profile on her Etsy page. How fascinating. I just love her creations. She uses thread and yarn in the best way, it seems like the individual threads just shine in her scarves and wrist cuffs. For just starting out in January, she's done very well for herself. Look at what she makes and you'll see why.

I just want to reach through the computer screen and touch the chenille scarf. Look at that fuzziness. Mmm. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Friday Featured Seller - HaveFaithBelieve

Congratulations to HaveFaithBelieve, today's featured seller! HaveFaithBelieve is from Arkansas and has an eclectic variety to her shop. What got my attention were these bright felt flower clips decorated with buttons. I could totally see this paired with a scarf or scarflette to add a little extra glam.

Fiber Optic

I was at one of those historical re-enactment villages a couple weeks ago and I learned how to fingerspin wool. I've always liked watching the spinning demonstrations, and while I'd like to move up to that, fingerspun wool is fun too. So, let's take a look at FiberOptic, a great little yarn shop run by a PhD chemist who used their knowledge to form a superior yarn. I have to say, I love the color choices!

Jelly Jelly Roving

Superstition Roving

Ginger Yarn

I just love the intense colors. Can't find that at JoAnn or Michaels.

Last chance to get in on being a featured seller this Friday. Leave a comment! Lucky winner chosen tonight.

Lake Illustration

I know I'm waaaaaaay late to this party, but I just discovered Lake Illustration. Wow! Not only is this guy prolific, but he has great color sense. And celebrity sense.

How did I miss this shop?

Audrey Hepburn

Do All Things With Love

Johnny Cash

I just love the composition of the Johnny Cash print. And the way he looks in the illustration reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix, so that was a good casting call.

Has anyone else seen this shop? What's your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.

LeeArtHaus

I saw this happy print of a couple owls as it floated past in the time machine and went to investigate. The creator is LeeArtHaus. Her shop is filled with prints of owls, birds, robots and the like in muted earth tones mixed with various bright colors. It may just be me, but methinks they like birds. :)
