Recent Etsy favourites

[affiliate links]
One thing that hasn't changed during my recent hiatus is my love of Etsy - It is still my first port of call for unique gifts (for others and myself) and I can happily while away the hours browsing for future purchases.
I used to share my recent favourite items on a semi-regular basis so thought I would start doing so again, especially in the lead up to Christmas.  Though rest assured my normal Etsy Christmas gift guides will be posted in due course.
This hoop is exactly what it says it is- a work of art. I loved this the minute I saw it - it's reminiscent of the abstract art I am loving at the moment that is colour blocking with pops of texture but taken to a completely new level. 



 I don't know how I stumbled upon Emma's shop but I am so glad I did. Her loose watercolour style is the perfect match for these articulated creations. If like me, you are on the other side of the world and shipping is too expensive, you can get pdf versions too which are what I will be treating myself to.

I have been following Lydia on Instagram (@_lydiarink_/ - go follow her, you will be amazed and inspired in equal amounts) for a few months now after her mini-videos were recommended to be following a Gelli Plate based query.  Not only does she do the most amazing image transfers, but her rust papers and collages are also awe-inspiring. I hope to take one of her classes in the future but for now, one of her journals is top of my list.


So there were just a few of this months favourite pieces - what have you purchased from Etsy recently?

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me)  you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars  that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options.  Cheesies Advent Calendar £32.50

Etsy Holiday Gift Guide #1 Christmas cards

It is clear by now to anyone who knows me that I LOVE Etsy and it is always my first port of call if I need to purchase something specific or even if I just want to window shop. With Christmas on the horizon, my love for Etsy deepens as it is, in my opinion, the best place to get unique and personal Christmas presents. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing som e of my favourite Christmas present picks , which Etsy have already started doing over on the  Etsy Editors' Pick's page , but for today I wanted to share some of my favourite Christmas cards. If you have never shopped on Etsy before and wanted to dip your toes into the water before investing in a bigger piece, purchasing a Christmas card would be the ideal way to start. Nowhere on the internet or the high street will you get such amazing selection. Whether you want funny or soppy or pop culture based or even vaguely scary (I'm thinking Krampus cards) Etsy will have your back. He

Get That Glow // Highlighters with a twist

Gone are the days that highlighting was left to the professional makeup artists on magazine shoots. Now highlighting is a day to day occurrence for most of us I love that the trend has evolved enough to provide those of us who don't want a gold champagne shimmer. Some of us are aiming for extraterrestrial realness (maybe that's just me) so the colours now available are perfect and when they come in a palette as beautiful as the  Blacklight Highlight - 6 Color Palette from BH Cosmetics (and for only $16.99 !!!) you really can't go wrong. Whilst I try and sort the area in my room for shooting beauty pictures I thought I would share just a few of the items on my highlight wishlist. Are there any highlighters on your wishlist at the moment? Tessa
