Featured Etsian Artist~SewnNatural


SewnNatural donated this "Organic VANILLA ICE CREAM Quilt, Mat for Naps/Changing/Play " to a blog giveaway and I won! My daughter, Lilly is already enjoying her nap times with this soft blanket while Shaylynne uses it as a play mat. It's so girlly and pretty!


Thanks SewnNatural!





SewnNatural

SewnNatural has hand crafted bedding, apparel, toys, name towels, art and organizers for babies, kids and kids at heart.

As a young girl sitting next to my patient, loving grandmother learning to sew my first patchwork quilt on a summer's day, I fell in love with textiles. Their textures, feel, colours and shapes really touched me. I have been designing and creating with textiles for many years. My craft has included sewing, loom weaving, clothing design, crafting, spinning and knitting. I am very particular about workmanship, beautiful design and using the best, most sustainable fabrics that are available for items that will be very durable and functional.












My real joy is creating things for our children and grandchildren to wear, cuddle in, or play with. One of my goals is to create clothes, toys and accessories that help to promote imaginary play and interest in nature.










Conscious of the impact of harmful chemicals on us, our children and our environment, I've tried to use the most natural fabrics I can in my designs. I use exclusively natural fibers: cotton, wool, silks, bamboo and organic and upcycled fabrics wherever possible.



I have had an etsy shop since December(about 4 mos) and have been working with textiles for many, many years sewing, weaving, spinning, knitting, crafting etc. I especially love designing with organic fabrics, upcycled or vintage fabrics and wools, silks, bamboos as well. I want organic to be fun, colorful and vibrant as well as functional. My favorite item right now would probably be a wool stuffed octopus made with upcycled vintage Guatemalan fabrics, handwoven by women there for their blouses/tops.

Featured Etsian~moodyandsanguine




Melina and I met about 12 + years ago when she was an art student studying painting and I was an English major. She still paints and I write supernatural fiction. We've been best friends and roommates ever since.





The main goal in our lives is to eventually support ourselves through our craft and writing / painting and live in the country (sigh). I started doing chainmaille a bit over a year ago because I really wanted to do something visually creative. I had tons of ideas and no outlet.









Melina has been sewing off and on since she was a child. Her mother is amazingly skilled and taught her everything she knows.








We always wanted to do some kind of business together and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. When work had a Christmas craft sale (yes, we work together too!) it gave us all the motivation we needed to start.






I find a lot of inspiration for my jewelry pieces in my other passion: horror writing. Might seem weird but I spent a lot of time trying to find my 'blood drop' glass beads!







Melina says she finds her inspiration from her head, her mom and everything around her. She creeps people out by staring at their bags to figure out how she can make it better!








Melina's favorite piece so far is her reversible tote


My favorite piece is my vampire necklace.

Etsian Artist~ LoveandLust

BLOG GIVEAWAY IS ONE POST DOWN!

My name is 'LillyShayStyle' and I am a jewelry addict.
I am consumed with jewelry! I search quite often for exquisite pieces to add to my ever growing collection. And there are many talented creators out 'there'. But, LoveandLust has been one of the most unique shops that I've found, so far! Her classy jewelry is alluring and extraordinary, definitely OOAK!

This is the set I bought for myself!


I can't go anywhere without being stopped. I swear, I need my own 'LoveandLust' business cards to hand out!



When you shop at LoveandLust mention my name and receive 10% off your purchase!

I'm 25 and live in Florida with my boyfriend (NightmareAnthology) and our one kitty (in our hearts we still have two - we just put one down last weekend). I'm currently finishing up my Masters degree in general psychology and spend most of my time on campus either scrambling to get my thesis done on time or teaching undergraduate psychology courses.











I started making jewelry a few months ago (yes, it's only been months!) because I couldn't find anything in 'my style' in town. I have always wanted to make jewelry but never had the first clue how.
Over the years I have accumulated quite the collection of charms, beads and other things that caught my eye in craft stores but I had no idea how to use them! One day something in me just clicked and everything made sense! I literally have not stopped since that moment. I'm addicted!





I'm inspired by so many things on a daily basis. My cat passing has inspired me to create a beautiful piece in his memory, the ocean near my home has found it's way into some of my pieces, but mostly, it's the beautiful women that I see walking around town that truly inspire me. When I see a drop dead, confident, classic woman walk past I just stare in envy and run straight home to try and create something I could envision her wearing. It's not as crazy as it sounds, I promise!








I started selling first on my boyfriends shop mostly as a way to fund my supplies addiction! My pieces were well received so I finally broke down and started my own shop, LoveandLust.

My very favorite piece at the moment has to be the Wild Nights Cameo Necklace. I think it's the sexiest and most unique piece I've created to date and it truly illustrates both the love, and lust-worthy, sides of my style!

I want an Edward...
My favorite quote from this movie is, "And the lion fell in love with the lamb.."
My favorite scene is their first class together, when he first looks at her. I love his eyes...
I think I have watched this movie 5 or 6 times in the week that I've owned it. I heard so much hype about it before buying it for myself.. I thought I'd hate it! But it's my new #1!
My awesome sister-in-law just bought be the book series, yay! I can't wait to find time to read them!
I think it's amazing how this story came about. The author had a dream and built the entire story around it. Quite incredible..

Featured Etsian~ thelostfound










My name is Maryann Peik and I have a vintage shop called The Lost and Found. and my blog.
I live in sunny San Diego, California and have a wonderful husband and two beautiful girls, ages 1 and 4. They keep my hands full during the day, but at night and in my spare time, I love to search thrift stores for great vintage finds!
I have always had a love for great vintage stuff! I love the styles of the 1940's and 50's. The day dresses, the hairstyles, the cute hats, the heels-- it was sexy, yet demure at the same time-- and I like that! I would definitly choose to live then if I had my choice. Times were tough back then, yet I feel there was a better sense of community which would be wonderful to experience.
I have loved and collected vintage for about 5 years now-- but I always had an interest in where a piece was from and if it had a history. Jewelry I really find interesting because you never know who has worn that special ring or brooch, or who gave it to them and why.
I haven't been selling all that long, just since February; but I feel I have done pretty well in my short time and hopefully the business continues to grow.
I love what I am doing- I get to buy great vintage stuff, and hope to make someones day with passing it on to them!
My favorite piece right now would have to be this vintage nightgown~~it is so pretty and soft! It has this beautiful black lace that adorns the neckline and it is just stunning!


I also wanted to let any of your blog readers know, that if they mention "lillyshaystyle" at purchase, I will refund back to them 10% of the price of any purchase from http://www.thelostfound.etsy.com/ !

Etsy Hands

I have always been captivated by hands... Why? I don't know. I collect various hand sculptures and photos. I've always wanted to decorated my walls with hand fixtures, such as lamps, shelves, hangers...etc. I've found an online store that sells these kinds of things, but I wonder if it would end up being more creepy than what I planned. Maybe someday...
So in the spirit of my obsession for hands, here are some engrossing pieces that I'd like to share!
