Today I want to tell you about my friend Heidi’s New Etsy shop called Idlewild Glass.  Home of the Funky Fish Line!  She is a mom of a darling daughter, and is somehow finding a little time to spend doing what she loves.  She makes these fun fish necklaces, colorful bracelets, and cool earrings!

Fish Necklace $22                                         Bracelet $35

Bracelet $32                                                Fish $12

Some of her pieces are even under 25$!  Heidi will list new things as she makes them, so take a peak around, and check back again.  Tell her I said “hi!”

These are some sweet art prints by New York Etsy artist Cathy Nichols.  Each one has a white border for framing and they are available for the very affordable price of $28.

There are some more photos of her art on her website at cathynichols.com.  You can also read more about her on her blog.

Today I want to mention a fun company on Etsy called cutfingerproductions or Cfp. I just bought one of their pouches called American Jane and I love it! It was only $8 and it is so well made and so sweet.

They also have larger pouches and bags. The pouches are made with different fabrics mixed with denim with a fab nametag and are only $10 to $15. The bags are around $35 and are also really cool.

The designer is a former hairdresser who sews really great bags. She has a fun blog at cutfingerproductions. Check out her designs on her blog and her Etsy shop!

These fabulous pieces of jewelry are made in New York by the design team of Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg. They cost a bit more than my usual finds, but I think they are so cool! Apparently the artists are inspired by the natural world as seen through computer design. Check out their store on Etsy: Nervoussystem.

Radiolaria necklace $60

Radiolaria bracelet $55

Dendrite brooch $50

I think the pieces are pretty great!

I found another fabulous Etsy shop called electrofork with fantastic jewelry. The designer is from Brooklyn, NY and says the goodies are “photographic resin jewelry and other delightful nonsense.” They are delightful. And very affordable!

Silverplate and resin bead-edged pendant necklace $26

Sterling Silver and Resin Bird Necklace $34

Silverplate Art Nouveau style pendant necklace $24

What a talented artist, photographer, designer and jewelry-maker!

I found a gorgeous Etsy shop yesterday with lovely and fabulous jewelry that is quite unique. Lauren Roberts’ shop of the same name features laser cut acrylic jewelry in gorgeous designs in the bold colors of white and black. She says they are “based on a vintage piece of lace and brought into the modern day with new technology.”

Aren’t they wonderful?

White Drop Earrings $42

Large Lace Necklace $58

White Chandelier Earrings $48

Keep your eyes open, I think we will see more of her work in magazines and on blogs in the near future!

I thought you should see this little Etsy shop full of sweet crafts…

Tamar has been a Creative Director and fashion Stylist, and has turned her creative eye to designing some very pretty things for her line Nest Pretty Things.

She has purses, fairytale crowns, dreamcatchers, pins, magnets and pouches.

Nothing costs too much, and anything from here would make a really pretty gift.
