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.

Filling up the creative well when you are struggling....

Maya Angelou famously said “You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” but I am sure I am not alone in not struggling with the concept, especially at the moment. Anyone who knows me personally will know that I have battled with my mental health for over half my life and despite an amazing support circle, the right medication and a whole toolbox of tools, sometimes my mood just dips that little bit lower than normal and despite a real urge to create (something, anything !!!) nothing appears. I am by no means an expert and I sat here writing this rather than creating, so read into that as you may, but there are a few things I have been doing recently to try a keep my creative spark alive until something clicks and I can spend a few hours creating for me again. 1. Keeping up with my favourite creators on Social Media Dina Wakley is a huge inspiration of mine after first seeing her on YT a few years ago, and she has been so generous wi...
