The first Etsy collection I have for your this month is one that reminds me of summer. When I think of summer, I think of lemonade, blue skies, grass, and the outdoors, even though I live in the city. So this collection is color-themed on those points, with an urban...
I'm finally doing something I probably should have done as soon as I opened up my shop and had my first sale: a customer photo gallery. Because I love to see how my creations live out in the world! So now, if you send in a high-quality photo of yourself wearing the...
May is named for the Greek goddess Maia, eldest of the seven Pleiades and mother of Hermes. In Greek, Maia also means midwife. In Roman mythology, Maia is associated with growth and fertility. So this month's round-up of Etsy finds celebrates all of those, in pretty...
Time for pretty things from Etsy! I have two lovely collections again for you this month. And no, they are not Easter-themed (I'm so sick of seeing bunnies and carrots and eggs everywhere). One is all about April showers (which hopefully bring May flowers) - fitting...

Exactly a month from today, St. Patrick's Day will be upon us. If you're in search of decor for yourself or your home, I've got you covered. Check out some of the oh-so-Irish-colored four-leaf clover products I have in the shop: Clockwise from top left: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4...
Time for fun and beautiful finds this month on Etsy! I've got two round-ups for you this time. One is a tribute to the name of the month, February, which comes from the name of a Roman purification ritual held this time of year. The other is a tribute to the folk art...
In case you missed it last month, one of the new things I've decided to do with the shop this year is to donate a portion of all sales to charities or causes that I support. February is a month dedicated to love, and so this month's cause is the Human Rights Campaign....
