Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!

Welcome to another Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!  For those of you new to this feature, I like to browse through Etsy using certain search words related to a weekly theme and show you some of the wonderful handmade items found in a particular category!  This week I'd like to keep with the trends for January predicted in From Etsy's Merchandising Desk as a guide for choosing our theme.  One huge category of trends predicted is:  Farmhouse references, vintage industrial decor, chalkboard and writable surfaces, vintage cameras, letterpress drawers, and typewriters."  Lots of ground to cover here...so let's split this up into two posts and this week we will cover:  Farmhouse references, vintage industrial decor, and chalkboard and writable surfaces.  Let's begin!

Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy! It's Baaack!!

Happy New Year!  Yes, this feature is back!  The holiday rush is over and now it's time once again take a look at some of the wonderful handmade designs you will find on Etsy!  In keeping with past posts of this feature, I'd like to use From Etsy's Merchandising Desk as a starting point for our theme!   This monthly post by Etsy contains a wealth of information about how to plan your marketing and designing for your handmade business.


One of the trends predicted for January is "Teacups, kettles, pots, and confections".  This makes sense...for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather drives us indoors where we can snuggle up with a cup of tea and something sweet.  


Let's see what kinds of things we can find on Etsy that fits this theme!

Are You A Good Witch Or A Bad Witch?

This 18"(with a 12" second strand) necklace began with a lovely pink teardrop with a matte finish surrounded by lucite flowers, swarovski crystals,tiny czech glass flowers, and swarovski pearls wire wrapped above it. Chains with czech glass flowers dangle beside it. I used beautiful antiqued brass rope chain, double stranded, and on the second strand is a cute brass Ouija Board charm adorned with a czech glass flower and tiny pearl. The piece is tied together with an antiqued bronze swirly toggle clasp. It's a good witch necklace so only spells of enlightenment, prosperity, and love will come from the wearer!


Giving The Good Witch as a gift? It will arrive on your doorstep beautifully packaged and ready for giving! And as always, there is FREE SHIPPING at Zur Designs!

"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
