I’ve decided to do my Etsy Finds a little bit differently once in a while. Instead of just showcasing one Etsy seller (although I will be doing that as well). I will occasionally create a themed treasury, inspired by something that strikes my fancy at the moment, and post it here with a link. Here’s [...]

Besides from endless barrettes and baby blankies, there’s a whole world of very interesting, creative stuff out there for the younger audience. Since there’s too much to cover in one post, I’ll [...]

A Lithuania-born, Chicago-dwelling independent artist Rasa has some real gems in her Etsy Shop called Rasaom. I’m not talking shiny things, these treasures are a real deal – brilliant colors, clever designs, gorgeous paintings and very reasonable prices.
