I typically don't feature Etsy shops that fall within the supplier category but Brookerpie has some really awesome stuff. The paper lace is something I have never seen around town and the uses for it are endless. At only $3.50 for a 12 yard roll, you should really buy some in every color! Perfect for decorating, invitations, craft projects etc....
As soon as I saw Good Bloom I was hooked. She is right up my alley... even the Good Bloom name struck me.... wonder why? Anyway, she has these amazing 8x10 prints of her original acrylic paintings for only $18. The colors and the bold floral designs are stunning in their simplicity. She started by painting flowers on her kid's wall and poof, a business was born. Best of luck Holly! Please support her shop and BUY HANDMADE!
I have a thing for kitchen utensils so it is no surprise that I gravitated towards Shelli's shop called Studio Mela on Etsy. This print, "I Love Your Egg Beaters" is my absolute favorite in the series of prints which includes spatulas, spoons and forks. She is a great artist from Minnesota and even though I have never met her, I can tell from her profile that she is one sweet gal. Support her shop and BUY HANDMADE!
Aunty Cookie, aka Shannon Lamden, is a freelance artist from Melbourne, Australia and she is fantastic! All of her fabrics are a linen/cotton blend that are heat set and wash wonderfully. All of the images are designed (by Shannon) and hand screen-printed (by Shannon). I personally love the Home Sweet Home print in teal and the chicken trim. All at amazing prices, considering these are STUNNING and HANDMADE!!!!
Loveys .... that's what Ciuccio calls her custom made baby security blankets and they are L O V E L Y. The quilts measure 15" x 15" and you can pick your own colors and patterns. The quilt tops are constructed of colorful modern 100% cotton fabric pieces and the quilting is done in a complimentary color and pattern. A grosgrain ribbon secures a binky, nuk, pacifier.... or ciuccio (that's binky in Italian.... she's so clever) so it will never fall to the floor. Loveys... kind of like footed sleepers.... wish they came in adult sizes too.
Michelle Brusegaard has a shop on Etsy that is FULL of all kinds of wonderful things. Let's see... she has... personalized stationery, paintings, photographs, scarves, linens, prints... oh and she does custom wedding stuff too. My absolute favorite would have to be these lovely napkins. The set of 4 butter color napkins, which are hand printed, cost $25. You could never find these in a boutique for only $25. Walk into a party with this hostess gift and you will get invited again and again. She's from Minneapolis too. Support those Etsy artists and BUY HANDMADE.
Karen Hilton Designs is a shop run by a woman out of London and her handmade pillows are fantastic! The pillows are constructed of thick calico fabric and high quality felted wool. All are sewn by hand and did I mention they were fantastic? She also has a few designs other than the "Union Jack" pillows that include dogs, a queen and a very mod target. Check out her Etsy shop and BUY HANDMADE!
As soon as I ran across the shop of Jessica Jane, she instantly became a favorite of mine. Her style is simple, modern and inspired by nature. These adorable black bird pendants can be added to a chain for a necklace or she also sells them as a set of earrings. She also has some amazing faux woodgrain pendants. Check out her shop and BUY HANDMADE!
Hollabee is the truly amazing shop of the very talented Bianca all the way from Melbourne, Australia. These modern fabrics show her roots (she is originally from the Netherlands). She is a self taught designer so she was obviously blessed with the gift of good taste! The fabrics, like the orange clay brick print above, are hand screen printed on a linen/cotton blend. Order these up to make your own pillow covers, aprons, totes, or tea towels. BUY HANDMADE!
