Favorite Etsy Shop - Wabisabi Brooklyn

I feel like I could go on and on about the nice- and extremely talented! - people I met last summer at the BMAC show, so I will :)

MaryAnne of Wabisabi Brooklyn is as sweet as she is creative - her line of work includes re-purposing coins into fabulous jewelry!!  *she's also the one who's inspired me to make my posts about lists!  which I hope is an interesting addition to the blog!!

Along with the coins, she uses photographs and decoupage techniques to create beautiful works of art you can wear!


I love her miniature coin earrings- teeny little quarters you can wear on your ears!

and of course the state quarter necklace- I love me anything that has NJ on it!!

and for the guys- you can get them cufflinks made with nickles and photos of the Brooklyn Bridge!

make sure you check out her shop on Etsy!  you will not be disappointed!

Favorite Etsy Shop - HuiYi Tan

through the magic of Etsy Circles, I was recently introduced to this shop, and instantly fell in love!  the jewelry in this shop is so unique, and quirky...with the materials used ranging from silver, to enamel, pearls, and even colored pencils...yes you heard me right!



these are just some of the designs you can find made from colored pencils- necklaces and earrings!

and what about zippers for earrings?

or a cute set of weather inspired earrings, handmade in sterling silver?

this shop just makes me smile, everything is so colorful!  head on over and check out HiuYi Tan for yourself!!

Favorite Etsy Shop - Diffraction Fiber

another Etsy shop that I've had "favorited" for quite a while, is Diffraction Fiber- maker of pillows for any and everybody!  these quirky designs spread the gamut from food to computer keys to many other kinds of nostalgia...and best of all?  they're made from eco-friendly materials!!

how could you not love these whimsical pillows?!  my personal favorite, is the peanut butter and jelly- not only a favorite lunch of mine, but also they do make quite a cute couple :)

 

but that's not where the cuteness ends...check out some of my other favorites from this shop below!

a pillow that looks like bacon?  yum!

a fortune cookie...now I want Chinese food...

or a super silly spilled ketchup packet pillow

Favorite Etsy Shop - Love Elaine

this week's favorite shop is not only one of my Etsy favs, but owned by a friend from college!  Christen and I not only both went to VT, but we met in our sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, and are both originally from New Jersey!  and now, to add to our list of commonalities, we are both following our creative dreams on Etsy! 

her Etsy shop, Love Elaine, features her handmade tote bags, place mats, quilts and much more!  she had much success over the holidays with stockings, tree skirts and gift bags!

some of her lovely items include this unique fabric wreath

and a perfect hostess gift- a wine bag!

and, a fabulous apron!

Favorite Etsy Shop - Punky Bunny

another one of the new friends I made while at the BMAC show in August was Emily, a Jersey Girl who now lives on the other side of the country, is also a fabulous jewelry designer!  I always tend to find fellow New Jerseyians, and obviously we became fast friends...but her work is also really cool and inspiring!  her shop, Punky Bunny designs is another one of my Etsy favorites!!

some of my favorite items include this secret message ring

these cute recycled silver poppy earrings

and these amazing bronzed bangle bracelets made from real tree branches!

this week...JennaAppleton!

her shop is my second I ever marked as a favorite on Etsy...I have now figured the method to my madness when it comes to shop of the week!...


















I just love her style and her pieces are stunning...they ship from Australia, so you might have to wait a bit to get your purchase...but it would definitely be worth it!
