Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!

 I was taking a look at "From Etsy's Merchandising Desk: October Delights" and one of the trend forecasts focused on a woodland emphasis.  So I decided to take a peek at what our Indie Junction team had created in this theme area.  This is what I came up with!!

Woodland Apple Cozy - Hand knit by CreatiKnit

Want a great way to dress up your apple and keep it from bruising too? Just wrap your apple in this cozy, pop it in your purse, and a fresh unbruised apple will be waiting for you!  Carefully hand knit in cotton, earthy woodland colors with a natural wood button attached.   Would make a great gift for that special teacher or a wonderful stocking stuffer! 
Fits most average sized apples, and is very portable. Each cozy comes wrapped in colored tissue paper and twine! 
Machine wash in cold and lay flat to dry.

*****I'd eat apples all the time just to use this!*****

Bracelet, Forest Cuff, Hand Knit Jewelry by LapisBeach

This cuff is one of kind! These chunky bracelets (about 1"+ wide) are hand knit using 200+ czech glass beads, metal elements and semi precious stones. They are soft and comfortable, yet they are very sturdy. Truly unique as none of them ever "knit up" the same. This one is knit in my Forest Mix.  Forest Mix: Forest: Think of trees of varying greens and soft moss with a touch of earth. Contains aventurine for GOOD LUCK, jasper for HARMONY and goldstone for UPLIFTING mood.  This cuff will fit a 6 1/2" to a 7" wrist. The toggle clasp utilized is silver tone. This toggle is easy to use on your own - but will not easily come undone.

*****Glamorous lady=Glamorous jewelry!*****

Well, there you have it...another edition of Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!  Hope you've enjoyed it! Here's wishing you all a wonderful week...and stay tuned!!

Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!

This week's theme for Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy is sweet creatures you will want to adopt!


Let's start with these wonderful bunnies from Mami Made It!  

Mami Made It's shop is filled with wonderful handmade goods made in Austria, Europe. They are all made carefully with love and passion.  In the artist's own words: "I love to work with cotton fabric because it is easy to clean, fulfills any wishes in colour and pattern and it's lint-free.  I also love to make beautiful, handy and useful things like bags and home accessories."

The method she uses to make these wonderful bunnies is:

* I buy the fabric
* I wash the fabric with 100% natural wash nuts, so you can be sure there is no shrinking and loss of color when you wash the bunny
* I fix the bunny with love

Now let's take a look at Benjamin Krudwig's shop where you'll find some really cute crocheted animals, monsters, and a special faerie that looks a lot like my friend Frann from Armored Hearts!

These wonderful little peeps are designed by Benjamin Krudwig himself and are made using natural fibers  and renewable or reused resources.  It's all about the faces when you are creating crocheted amigurumi and in my humble opinion, Ben has mastered the art of making the cutest faces around!!

Now let's take a look at a great new shop on Etsy called Little Munsters!  Munsters are quirky, charming, bashful little creatures who are looking for homes and humans to keep them company. Each Munster has a disctinctive personality, which can be read about in his/her bio.  Each Munster is one of a kind and made with love from polymer clay.   Adopt a Munster for you or someone special! :)

You owe it to yourself to check out these munsters and read their bios!  They are very loveable!!

Hope you've enjoyed this week's Window Shopping on Etsy Feature!  Stay tuned next Wednesday and in the meantime, have a wonderful week!!
