New Featured Artist - Kelli Williams - Red Marionette

Something about the adorable plush creations at Red Marionette just make me smile. I don’t know if it’s the soft felt that makes me want to reach through the screen and grab them, the cute animals crafted with said felt, or the fact that they are so darn usable. Key chains, puppets and soft ornaments, plus huggable plushies galore! Loved by kids and adults alike, Kelli Williams creations are as unique as they are collectible.

Handmade Love - kcroteau

Gosh i love my ironing board!

it's so nice and pretty and makes my spare room just POP with the half burnt 70 fabric!

It's the best ever. I think i need more.

/sarcasm.

so..anyway. Yeah.

turn a normal table that looks like, well, a normal table, into an ironing board.
far more practical, and you don't have to worry about where you're gonna hid it when company want to spend the night.

Handmade Love - Kibbles

Anyone who's ANYONE on the etsy forums knows "the antlerchrist".

kibbles' bright red antlers are unmistakable, as is the beautiful paper she crafts.

I picked up some kitty and paw print tags ( of course) and have had a blast attaching them to the little gifts i give to pals and family.

I don't think i will ever be able to go back to "store bought" tags ever again. My gift recipients will be to angry ;)

Handmade Love - SavageLucy

If you know anything about me, you know I have a "thing" for all things Batman, specifically Harley & Joker.

Sure I have the Harley Quinn Barbie, and a few Joker Action figures, but nothing that made me go "HOT DAMN, IS THAT AWESOME!"

Que Savage Lucy.

I purchased a "Munny" set of Joker and Harley, who watch over our bookshelf of Batman DVDs and Books and always prompt a "Where'd you find those!!" from anyone who ventures close to them.

Savage Lucy offers Artists Trading Cards, Original Art, Collectible Doll fashions and So Much more. Go get something, you won't be disappointed!

Handmade Love -Auntie Di's De-lites

My first experience with Auntie Di was over 2 years ago, when I was in the good ol' etsy red chat room, whining about a horrible head cold i had.

Di had a soap shop at the time, and showed me her amazing Sinus Soother soap. I bought a bar and it arrived quick and cleared my head better than that nasty drugstore stuff.

I was hooked.

Di eventually sold the soap shop, but I can still get my fix of heavenly scents with her soy wax candles.

I just bought a 6 pack, and they are meant to be gift, but i have a sneaking suspicion they might never leave my living room.

Di's selection of candles is vast and diverse, so I can stand to give a few away, right? Well, We'll see.
