I am obsessed with Etsy! There are so many beautiful and unique things. When I was little, we travelled a great deal in Europe and the US and I was always so excited to find new stores and trinkets unique to the area. Over the years, that has changed. My family in England shops at a lot of the same stores we have here and every mall in Canada and the US is depressingly the same.
And then I discovered Etsy and it was love at first site. I mean sight! Beauty, originality - I couldn't believe it.
So what makes me qualified to recommend items and sellers to you? The hours and hours and hours I spend on Etsy just looking around! I could probably write a thesis on it by now....
So, without further ado, here is my first Etsy Finds post - Obsessed With Poppies. Maybe that's not too original, but I really am and it's a fun first start!
Little Green Room is a jewelry designer with a number of poppy items but this bold necklace really jumped out at me - partly because it isn't the expected red and black.
Jewelry by Natsuko creates metal and enamel jewelry that is both modern and timeless. And here I go again avoiding the traditional red in favour of luscious aqua in this dainty modern ring.
Allisa Jacobs creates zipper pouches, bags and baby gifts in fresh, modern colours. And there - I've managed to avoid red all together with this wonderful zipper bag and orange felt poppy brooch!
