Etsy Find Friday

 

Well it wasn't hard to find these babies, as the small pink purse by Octopurse was featured as one of the Handpicked Items on the Etsy front page, but the typewriter caught my eye for sure! I have a small collection of retro and vintage typewriters (2 to be exact) :), and I love anything to do with them.

When I saw the whole collection of colorful clutches and coin purses, I gasped! I love their whimsy and personality. They remind me of the shoulder bag I had in college that looked like an old school boombox, which I sadly left on the train one morning, never to see again :( (Rebekah you might remember this) I digress! Having one of these purses might make up for that. The prints are so playful and fun! I mean a View-Finder purse? How is that not fun?

Go check out Daphne's shop Octopurse on Etsy and I think you just might fall in love too. Everyone have a Happy Friday and a great weekend! I'll be running the Hot Chocolate 5K Run in the morning with some girlfriends! Wish me luck, it's my first 5K...eep!

  

An Etsy Trade

Over the weekend, I got a little package in the mail from Nguyen Le of Knit Knit, another Etsy seller. She makes beautiful needle felted and embroidered jewelry along with other whimsically crafted pieces. You can tell she adds love into everything she makes. 

Well, we did an art trade: her lovely hand embroidered leaf necklace for 2 of my smaller illustrated prints. I've done similar trading with other vendors at craft fairs, but this was my first time trading with an Etsy seller whom I've only met online. It was so exciting to get a package in the mail all the way from Brooklyn! It was a bit like Christmas! The necklace is perfect! It's very elegant, but with a definite handmade feel to it.

Have you traded with an Etsy seller before? I'm up for another trade, so let me know if you're interested :) And please check out Knit Knit's charming little shop on Etsy!

Over the Weekend

Here's a look at the fun we had at Flea Harvey's this weekend.  The weather had been in the upper 60s all week long, until the Saturday morning at the flea market when it dropped down to the 40s! Bad timing. The sun peaked out a few times, but it was still a chilly day!

Well it was my first time being a vendor at the flea market at the hip little restaurant/bar Lee Harvey's in Dallas and I must say it was a great experience! Great people and lots of funky finds. It's a must to go to if you live nearby.

I grabbed some locally made cranberry salsa from Carnival Barker which I used at a dinner party later that evening. Served it up with some grilled shrimp and sliced jalapeno. Big hit! I had been eying those blue drawers and retro sewing machine from SuperFormula all day long, and my sweet friend that showed up sneakily bought the drawers for me! So thoughtful! Made my day. That's them in the backseat of my car. They're so unique. I'm going to put all my art supplies in them so I can be more organized! Always need help in that department :)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I tried a diy project this weekend also, that I will share with you soon!     -xoxo Rhi
