etsybloggers team - featured blogger!

One of the neat things about being a part of this etsy bloggers team is getting exposed to folks that you might not have seen before - reading random people's blogs, getting a chance to feel like you're walking in their shoes for a while. And it's funny how all these totally random people from totally random places and experiences all can feel like they are relevant to YOU. I always find something about each one that I can really connect with.

This month's featured etsy bloggers team blogger is Rose Works Jewelry. I was reading her blog, and she was making a very proud announcement about her new shob - KSjewelery. KS stands for Kindred Spirits...know the phrase? I sure do. I am not an avid reader of Lucy Maud Montgomery for nothing!!!

In any case, in addition to her also being an Anne fan, and a much-beloved etsian, she also is a prolific blogger and has received oodles and oodles of awards and recognition for her blogs. So please oh please, go check out RoseWorksJewelry, her blog, and her new shop KSjewelry!

featured etsy blogger for December!

I have been feeling a bit disconnected from the etsy world lately - I have been so busy at work I rarely had any time even on my lunch breaks to stop by, and I didn't have an internet connection at home. However, my little sister's boyfriend set up the computer he made (and gave me) with a wireless router today, which means...drum roll ladies and gentlemen...I HAVE A COMPUTER!

So the first thing I want to write about now that I have this wonderful little set up is about the etsy bloggers team. First off, I love being a part of this team. I love having a reason to blog, and a feeling that there is an audience, and a group of people supporting each other. Not to mention - it's amazing to me how even when you've never met somebody, you can get SO caught up in reading their blog - even when they are just writing about the ins and outs of their daily lives.

I wanted to post about the etsy blogger's FEATURED team member today - because I just spent a fair amount of time getting lost in her blog! Spotted Cow Soaps' blog can be found here, and her etsy shop can be found here. Go get lost in her shop - tons and tons and tons of wonderful soaps and bath things. One thing I love about her shop is that I saw from her blog that she really tries to collaborate with other etsians, for example - getting someone else to crochet soap bags. She's very interactive - has contests for her shoppers, etc. Her products look wonderful, her blog is enticing - she's going to be a Grandma! Go look!

Thank you Spotted Cow Soaps, and thank you etsy bloggers!

Hi everybody! It's November! Woohoo! With November comes Thanksgiving, my birthday, no change in the weather (Orange County, CA), and time for a new team etsy blogger update! First things first, this month's featured etsy blogger is storybeader! Her jewelry is fantastic - the photo is the piece of hers that caught my eye right off.

One of the most unique things about her pieces, though - is not just the beautiful jewelry, but also that each piece comes with a haiku, written specifically for that piece! It makes me want to order some just to see what she writes about them. :)

Storybeader is also a huge help for the etsy bloggers team, and, of course, keeps a blog! You can read all about her jewelry, see photos of dogs in costume and more, here: her blog.

Really - go check out her stuff, I am a huge fan of blogging, a huge fan of etsy, a huge fan of haikus, and a huge fan of jewelry - so when they are all combined, it makes magic. :)

October Featured Etsy Blogger!

This is my very first post about a featured etsy blogger, so first let me tell you exactly what that is!

Once a month, the etsy bloggers team chooses someone to be their featured blogger. They get to bask in the warm rays of appreciation and blog articles for an entire month - the rest of us each post an entry about them, their blog, and their etsy shop. I love this idea - love supporting other etsians this way!

So without any further ado... here is October's Featured Etsian Blogger!

bfbeads.etsy.com- baby friendly beads! Jewelry, necklaces,bracelets - for nursing mama's!

I love this idea. I am not a mother yet - but I have held my fair share of grasping-pinching-flailing babies...I have a love of dangling earrings and also have a nose ring, which can be problematic. I have witnessed first hand the importance of baby-friendly jewelry!

Bfbeads jewelry is not only functional but really beautiful as well. One of my favorite aspects of it is reading the titles of the pieces - you can tell that there is a lot of thought put behind each piece.

So three cheers for baby friendliness! bfbeads.etsy.com!
