fresh finds for hip spaces

Tah-dah! It’s Take Five Tuesday, where I showcase five etsy artists on Tuesday, ones that I think deserve a little blog love, who have great taste, and that are items I either own or would own myself. In other words, the official holly seal of approval. I think you’ll really love today’s batch of beauties. Scrambled eggs, birds in 3-D, beads and baubles, prints from down under, and an usual suspect - pot plants! No, not the kind you smoke kids, the kind you plant stuff inside and watch legal greens emerge from.

First up, postcards from Fiery Eyed Studio.
Display on an inspiration board, frame, send…
They’re positively delicious.

Then there’s Jade Scott Jewelry. I don’t know how to tell my
husband that I want everything in her store without sounding
selfish. ;) It’s all so Anthropologie-ish. Drool.

Next we have Cotton Bird Designs, with little birdies
handmade and ready to fly home with you. Rest
them on a shelf, frame them in a shadow box, display
on a stack of books, gift to a friend.

Plants? On Etsy? Oh yes! Greenware Design - A Savannah-based
design duo make up this small business. Here’s my new porcelain
piece, hand-crafted by one of the artists, filled with love by the other.
These are really small, but they’re absolutely darling, sweet for a
window or on a bedside table. I love the little feet.

And finally, Australian etsy artist Linda Kruger of
Yellow Monday. View more of her work here.
Sweet. Lots of forest imagery, cute characters.

Curious to learn.

i just love this weekly column - even though i check your blog daily, it’s still fun to have a little something to look forward to - also a nice way to organize all the fun finds!

I’m really loving Etsy - it’s proving to be a great way to outfit the details in my sister’s wedding!

Holly…thanks SO much for your enthusiastic support of Etsy. As an artist who is trying to get up and running on Etsy myself it’s very encouraging to read about such public support out there.

Those birds are just too much! I mean how frickin’ cute?!

And the plants!?! Just amazing what people are out there doing.

Thanks for the artist-love and the 411.
