Spicy Miss Jessica was asking for favorite Etsy shops last week so I thought I would post some of mine here and see if anyone has more to add.
Please don't hate me when I say I'm done with my Christmas shopping. I am obsessive like that. Sorry. It's just the way God made me. There are maybe a few things to pick up locally but for the most part, the major stuff is taken care of. This year, I tried to find as much as I could first on Etsy. I LOVE ETSY! I know you do too. It's amazing the incredibly talented artists that you can find there.
First stop, The Fig and Thimble:
Next is this sweet little toy shop located in the hill country of Texas, Hill Country Woodcraft:
Beautiful toys, baby gifts and personalized too! Can I tell you how much I love their stick horses, especially the ones with colorful yarn hair?! Adorable! You know, the one thing that annoys me about Etsy is that sometimes you find something beautiful and then find out it ships from Lithuania or the Ukraine. Grrrrrr argh. Well, never fear, because Hill Country Woodcraft is located in the great state of Texas and ships, well… from the Texas Hill Country. If you don't know what that is, I'm sorry. So very, very sorry.
And speaking of following people, if you follow this here little blog, you might also want to follow my brand spanking new Etsy shop that just opened, um… like yesterday. It's called Waltzing Matilda Makes…. So, what does Waltzing Matilda make? Not sure right now, just a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I have no big plans for it immediately. But I like the idea of having a place to offer some extras from the fun we have making over here (quilties, dolls, decorations) and maybe a place for Sunshine to offer some of her hand knitted creations eventually (she's totally stoked about that idea). There are only a couple of little items in there right now but I'm working on a few more. I'd love to know what you think of the shop and what things you might like to see offered there in the future. I make no promises!

Yay! Thanks for sharing! I had to keep clicking on that post and then the comments to find your rec's then I'd have to start all over again to find the next one. This is so much easier.
ReplyDeleteI think I forgot the name puzzle shop. I'll add it.
DeleteI'm so glad you opened your Etsy Shop!! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Will you take custom orders? I'm already thinking ahead for children, godchildren, sacraments..... ;)
ReplyDeleteLindsay, I'm not sure. Send me an email when you want to discuss it. I guess it depends. I kind of had thought about doing just a storefront of things I had already made, like the little figures I posted which were extras from some seasonal crafting.
DeleteWay to go, Charlotte!!
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I has seen that Doctor Who shop before I finished shopping for the big girls! Well, there is always birthdays!
