My New Favorites on etsy!

I always feel special when I see someone has added me to their favorites. When I choose favorites I choose carefully and I hope others take the same consideration. Not just anyone can make it into my Hall of Fame (haha). So today I will introduce some of my hand picked favorites so that you can fall in love with their handy work too!

1. ) KatKrafty aka Kathleen Bostick.
You can find her work on etsy at both www.studiometalsmith.etsy.com and www.katkrafty.etsy.com
She is a terrific silver smith..if thats what they are called...and cool lady. I know her from Dartmouth where she works in the jewelry studio. Check out her Big Carved Moonstone ring. It's fabulous and if you are familar with silver and stones....the price is very affordable.


Big Carved Moonstone ring on etsy. So beautiful.

2.) it's your life.
I don't know this artist personally but I just recently found her shop. She has all kinds of vintage goodies!! I love all things antique and vintage....which fits in with my love of history and archeology.
anyways...
She's from our neighbor to the north Canada...like so many etsy favorites....and she specializes in taking something old and classic and giving it a bit of new life. Very cool. Plus she has great pictures. The backdrops to her images are just as fun and colorful as her jewelry!!
I just recently purchased some pieces to make jewelry from her...look for them in my shop soon!


I love love love cameos! This is one of her many!


OK last one
3.) bonspiel
This clever and funny lady named Ellen also hails from O-Canada! They must have something in their water...
Screen printing seems to be en vogue these days but Miss. bonspiel stands out for me.
She does a beautiful job with her designs. Very simple but they all seem to make a statement. Plus she uses really great materials, American Apparel tee's (so soft and great fit) and yummy leathers for her bags (sorry vegans). It's a good thing I'm poor or else I might go broke buying all her work! I actually just bought one of her leather key chains with a puffy fish on it! It's adorable and affordable.
She also makes silly little "beings of cuteness" for the kiddos or for you!
