Beautiful Finds - Etsy Eyecandy

It has been a little while since my last Etsy feature post! Oh well. I'd prefer to keep these posts minimal and inspired rather than frequent and forced. There's hardly a shortage of articles bombarding us with mediocre things we ought to buy!


 Seriously amazing stained glass earrings by ArtKvarta, Ukraine.


Need this shirt in my life lately! Handblocked racer-back tee from Exsect - Texas, USA.


I have been thinking a lot about finding a more professional handbag. Love the simplicity of leather and linen! Handmade by Hello Violetta, Bulgaria.

Happy Monday everyone!

Apologies for being MIA of late - on top of uni work and knitting new orders I've been doing a little bit of event management. Can't wait to fill you in on the details :D

I'll have plenty to post about once the fun part begins - preparing decorations!

Monday Motivation - Pretty Packaging

My new, recycled business cards arrived today, just in time join some purple wool gloves on their way to a customer. I love seeing the beautiful ways that other Etsy stores package their items, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to share my own. It's nothing too fancy, but it's very much my style. Clean and simple, a little bit rustic, and of course - entirely recyclable.

What was the most beautiful package you ever received?

One of my favourite ways to relax (or procrastinate!) is by browsing Etsy in my pajamas on a rainy afternoon. It's so inspiring when an item leads me to discover an amazing Australian store! I have decided to start sharing my beautiful finds here, and spread some love for fellow Australian artists :) .
