So it’s been far too long (read: a year) since I’ve spent any time on this blog! Since we last spoke I’ve graduated, held down a 9-5 job AND seen S Club 7 live so… it’s been pretty hectic. But I have not stopped loving Etsy (you can always find my favourites here) and I’ve got a new top five finds to share with you.
I’m going through a serious cactus phase right now, and there are plenty of Etsy items to sate my curiosity. T-shirts, pin badges, plush toys: anything you can think of. But this cushion, in it’s simplicity and elegance, might be my favourite.
I really am a sucker for anything with a face painted on it! And I’m also a sucker for salt and pepper shakers – although I usually prefer the kitschy/vintage variety, I absolutely love these. There is something both beautiful and slightly unsettling about them, which is exactly what I look for in novelty crockery.
This is really an excuse to send you in the direction of this shop, diamentdesigns, which just has pages and pages of amazing pieces of vintage jewellery. And although this bracelet is pretty small and subtle, it did emerge as my favourite. It’s very sweet and delicate, I think it would suit anyone and is perfect for summer!
I love pouches. As someone who doesn’t wear much make-up or have much use for a pencil case anymore, I struggle to find a use for all the ones I have. Nonetheless this one is so beautiful, managing to be both slick, simple and rustic, that I might be able to find something to put in it.
This wouldn’t be a Etsy Finds list without a Peanuts item – my addiction has not abated over the last year. And, despite the fact that I already own a Snoopy mirror, this London themed item speaks to both to my hometown pride and childhood nostalgia. (And if you’re interested in more Peanuts items, I now have a whole list dedicated to the best of our friends on Etsy)
That’s my picks! I promise it won’t take me a year to update this blog again (in fact, I already have a couple ready and saved in drafts). If you want to see all the things that couldn’t make the list, then you can always see or follow all my favourites by clicking here.
[Note: I cannot guarantee these things are available even two minutes after posting, as many are one of a kind but I bet the other things the shop has are great too!]
