Embed gems into finely sculpted wood and you’ve got new shop Unbunny’s forté!
Designer Silvia De la Rosa Cueto uses only natural materials, no sight of chemicals here! She offers real sculptures that you can wear on your fingers! Any ring-lover’s (like myself) dream! :)
Stevie Wonder Original Painting, by lorrainesart.
Stevie rocks! And I will (hopefully) get the chance to see him in concert tonight at the Montreal Jazz Fest!
Hopefully?! Yes, well because:
1- it’s a free concert on opening night of the Fest and well, the guy’s a legend and hopefully I won’t be TOO far in the crowd and not SEE him! lol
and
2- because the Fest’s policy is that the concerts stop if there is rain (and they are planning some thunder and showers) and then resume once the it stops, if it stops.
The odds are bad, I know! lol! But let’s wish for the best and I’ll be there with some friends, hopeful, right? :) Please wish Montrealers luck!!
UPDATE ———
Well, it was AWESOME!! The floooood of people was insane lol! There was some rain before the show, but only a few weak drops during! YAY! :D
Isn’t She Lovely print, by breedingfancy.
Zippered Laptop Sleeve, by byrdandbelle.
Sleeves for the laptop, that is! Way too hot for real ones. lol!
I’ve been considering getting an Acer Netbook (you know, those small laptop computers mostly for web browsing). I’ve been tied up to a computer box for always, and the thought of blogging or shopping on my balcony or in a wifi café or park just seems so liberating to me!
I haven’t decided for sure yet, but if I do, I soooo want a laptop sleeve!! Here are a few finds in that department! ;)
Fawn and Dotty Laptop Bag, by TrackandFielsDesigns.
Upcycled Coffee Bag Laptop Case, by labudde.
Crocheted Sleeve, by blackeyedsheep.
Laptop Sleeve, by sandrastju.
Laptop Envelope, by fernfiddlehead.
Rain or Shine original collage, by getfreefly.
Two wonderfully fabulous shops that I discovered in the past week have to be mentionned here!
Representing “Rain” is Uruguay designer label TLDG Rainwear (“Todos los días grises”).
They make gorgeous raincoats, like the classic but edgy trench, but also the stylish hoodie! They are 100% waterproof and come is popping colors.
Representing “Shine” is Madeline Wood.
She offers a great variety of skirts, tops, pants and dresses with great textures and colors from pleats and buttons in fuchsia up to brown.
Everything Happens For A Reason print, by theloveshop.
I’m not a big fan of having sales, having some alllll the time, I mean. I think a sale should be special and sort of like a rare event, so that it actually works! On the go sales rarely work well, especially if they don’t have a reason behind them! In my experience, anyway…
Last year I had my 2yr Etsyversary sale, and it was fabulous!! Stay tuned for the 3rd year one I’m gonna have in August 2009! ;)
With that said, many of my lovely Etsy friends are having a sale these days (with a reason behind it, of course), and I thought you’d love to hear about them!!
Carry on now!

Wow, this shop just takes my breath away!
Inspired by the forest, and made with things from the forest like antlers (which fall out naturally of the pretty creatures every year), In The Woods transforms materials into pieces of functional art.
Unless you have a tree in the middle of your house (isn’t that sooo cool?), this is the perfect way to bring the outdoors in! ;)
Also check out their gorgeous photographic prints!
I found these candles a few weeks back, and couldn’t resist looking around shop!
You see, I already have my candle pimp (I’ve been buying tons of them for a while now from ajscountrycottage, love them, addicted!) and I am a very loyal customer to her. But still, having a look is not a crime ;)
But I have to say Pur Bliss‘ packaging is wonderful and very attracting!! Maybe it’s as an ex-graphic designer that I write this, but anyway! Clean, simple, crisp and color coded.
Gotta love the look!
Don’t you just feel something when you see this kind of photography?
Muted subjects and colors, that is The Chesshire Smile’s forte. Every single shot gives a very strong yet soft emotion, I just love them all!!
Also check out her Flickr account for more visual candy!
If retro is your kind of style, I’ve found the perfect shop for you!
At Uncommon, you’ll find everything you need to retrofy (? lol) your home: clocks, mirrors, furniture, art and objects, in all your favorite greens and yellows and blues!
How great are these block plant houses from Erde Designs?
Made from all kinds of different woods like oak, cedar and even some reclaimed, they are perfect for little greens like cacti, succulents, herbs… even candles (but not at the same time as plants! Ouch! lol).
If you want incredible, I’ll give you just that today.
Don Moti’s little people rings are just unbelievably interesting and intriguing! When’s the last time a ring made people wanna look twice, right?
They are like little worlds for your finders, mixing delicate with powerful together to get fascinating little objects.
Gimme the whole collection, please! :D
I think I can say now that I collect handmade mugs, since they take enough space in my cupboards to say it’s a collection.
Wouldn’t these cuties by Jennifer Fisher Designs be a wonderful addition? If you like cuddling up on the couch with the warmth of that morning coffee cup in your hands, these are for you, too! :)
Also check out the beautiful branch vases!
Will you be her first Etsy sale?? :)
Recently I found out about 2 pretty recent shops offering wonderful placemats — something I haven’t used in years, actually!
They make me wanna remedy that!
——–
Featuring echos from nature, these cotton goodies will surely upgrade your dining table to it’s best!
——–
Featuring wonderful organic looking dots in 3 great colors, these linen placemats are perfect for the subtle pop of color you need on your table!
I’m a straw girl. Yes I know, straws are so bad for the environment — 15 minutes use and then pops into the junk for years and years. I just get cold sores so easily with cans and all!
But I finally found THE solution for the rest of my life: Straws by Carli.
Handmade glass straws, from out of locally bought borosilicate glass (that’s the same glass as the known Pyrex), and hear it people: Garanteed for LIFE! With normal use, of course. Yep, that means: broke one? You get a replacement!
I think I’m going to buy some right now, and then make me a little linen pouch to carry one around when I get outside and order a soft drink for lunch!
There’s a new bag lust spot in web-town!
Gotta be thrilled about Definition of Self’s strappy designs if you like denim or cotton canvas, neutrals or pops of colors and perfect medium sized bags! Of course, there are tons of inside pockets and little hiding spots for your everyday stuff too!
Go on and pick something simple-chic for your next day out in the sun!
