Etsy : An organised treasure trove

Etsy is a treasure trove of goodies and browsing the site for new sellers and products is my favourite way to whittle away 30 minutes.

One of the Etsy features I love and use frequently is the favourites features as this allows me to save those products that I may not want to buy immediately but I know will perfect for a future occasion.

As someone with quite a few favourites (read that as over 4,000 items) I think that it is fabulous that you can organise your favourites further into lists.

At the moment I have 12 lists such as Modern Jewellery which contains items like these gorgeous Eighties Squiggle perspex Earrings from OttoLangs.

I already have one pair but they will remain in my favourites until I have another pair.

I have my Embroidery Kits list that contains kits I want to try, or try again, such as these from Wildfloss Embroidery and Dropcloth Samplers

I also have a Fun Homewares list that contains gems like these Oven Mitts

And an Art list that contains prints and original art covering all art disciplines.

I am in love with this Jaguar print. I just need to find a home for it and then I am snapping it up.

You really can have lists for everything.

Around big holidays I set up new lists and then when

I come across items that would make perfect gifts I can save them safe in the knowledge I will be able to find them again.

You can always make lists like that private if you didn't want anyone stumbling upon their gift idea.

Do you use list and favourites on Etsy?

Is there anything from my favourites that have inspired you to have a browse?

Throwback post WWCW // Denim Jacket with Patches

I posted this blog in January 2016 - expect to see an update on the Denim Jacket in the next few weeks My first ever style icon was Clarissa which is probably showing my age somewhat and I have decided that 2016 is the year I go back to my (un)fashion(able) roots and make clothes fun again. To do this I am going to ask myself... WHAT WOULD CLARISSA WEAR?? Answer number 1 is a pair of denim shorts with patches which isn't really suitable given my age so the next best thing.. A denim jacket with patches along the lines of these... I have yet to get the jacket (off to eBay I go) but I have already decided on a number of patches and pins (all of which are from Etsy) which as always I wanted to share.

Products I have shared lately

I have been making more of an effort to share on social media but with that, the blog has fallen away. I am going to try and find some sort of middle ground so I thought I would start with things I have been talking about elsewhere on social media lately. To start with we have my new favourite book (albeit that it is for children). Mary and Frankenstein - Both the story and the illustrations and enthralling And this is another gorgeous children's book that I got for the illustrations, though more specifically the colour palette. I think the pop of neon with neutral colours is something I want to experiment with. what is your favorite illustrated children's book? Finally - my product of choice at the moment is Turner gouache though I am going to treat myself to some of these Shin Han hybrid paints this month to try them out I have set up an Amazon store with some of my favorites so it is easy for you to find everything I love in one place. h...
