Who doesn’t love a little Etsy? Today I want to share a few of my favorite stores because I’m still feeling all crafty from our Pinterest Party. Click on them. Buy from them. Enjoy them. When asked where they draw their inspiration from, these artists gave the following answers:
Claire says, “My inspiration comes from many things (nature, other designers, drawings etc.), but a design takes form when I start to sketch in my pad having a vague design in my head. Drawing has always been my first love, and sketching is my favourite part of the whole designing process.”

Jenny says,”I would say that I get my inspiration from nature and the seasons. Fall and winter are my favorites, and creating specific items for this time of year is my forte. I’m obsessed with spices, wool, Christmas, yarn, and all colors of felt!”

Melanie says, “I draw my inspiration from color. I create these amazing colors and then create a scene with my favorite things. Like birds, anything retro, and nature. I scour stock photo website for images containing birds, vintage items like teapots, musical instruments, and other still life. I also devour magazines and picture books.”

It has been waaaay too long since I have browsed Etsy (with the wedding I was on there like every day!). Thanks for sharing some new shops to check out. I really love Tamras Bag (http://www.etsy.com/shop/tamrasbag). I bought one – it is gorgeous and very well made.
This made me laugh because I was just finishing up a post on my addiction to Etsy as well. I’ll wait a bit to post it now though. Thanks for the new shops! I’ll definitely check them out.
Feel free to post it if you’d like! I can link back to you so my readers will take a look ;)
Great post! Etsy is way addictive!
