Etsy Sellers I Love . . . Baby Edition

MOBILES!

I really love Etsy. When I was looking for a mobile for my daughter, I was trapped in waves of indecision. I couldn't find anything that I really liked until I stumbled upon thewonderlandstudio on Etsy. She makes lovely, floaty, mobiles out of wire and foam circles and can personalize them with a child's name. And she's from Newburyport, MA - so I have to support a local crafter!

I got this one for my daughter's nursery and chose colors to match her safari themed room.



BABY LEGWARMERS!

My daughter was a winter baby so I quickly became obsessed with baby legwarmers. Babylegs are cute, but kind of pricey for what they are. Etsy came to the rescue! Apparently, these things must be pretty easy to make, because everyone is making them and they are making them for cheap.

Check out these (2 for $15) from mamarunswithscissors:

Or these preppy ones (2 for $10.50!) from forevermybaby:



What a freaking good deal! I might have to order more!

Etsy Sellers I Love

I love Etsy! How could you not really? If something can be handmade, then it's probably on this site. I was recently given a little birthday money to buy something on the site and I decided I wanted a necklace -- a showpiece if you will. Something knitted or crocheted or upcycled. It still had to be chic and fashionable. I wasn't looking for crunchy, hippy jewelry.


I found so many things, I had to enlist my fellow bloggers to help me make a choice. I ended buying this awesome crocheted necklace from craftaria. The designer, Marta lives in Portugal and makes all sorts of cute textile accessories. I love the gold ball and white flower together. I think it's perfect for work or for going out.


I have my eye on some other designers too. Ollies Woollies does cool felted jewelry like this gray and olive "branch" necklace.











LiveInStyle has fun upcycled lace creations that look retro and modern at the same time.


Hmmm. . . which do I buy next?
