It’s time for Etsy Take Five Tuesdays with lots of pretty things to look at this week and a bonus: two of these lovely shops have very special deals so make sure to read through the descriptions below. I’d like to start featuring at least one discount in this column per week but I’m not sure if I can or not so I’ll need your help. If you have an Etsy shop and would like to be part of this column and offer a special discount to decor8 readers please email me and we’ll talk, but please do not submit items that you think would not fit on decor8 (item type, style, etc.) because I really dislike having to turn away submissions. But if you think your products work well on decor8 please contact me because I’d love it!
I think adding a little discount each week will not only help sales for small businesses featured here but is great for the — what’s that new word for a former fashionista/designista on a new quest for fine items at an affordable cost? Oh yes, the Recessionista! LOL.
This week I have a surprise for you who are Take Five Tuesday fans. Adriana agreed to offer decor8 readers a 20% discount on everything in her etsy shop, InvitaPaper. To qualify for this discount, please order between now and Saturday, March 7th and add in the notes section that you would like the “decor8 special offer” and wait for a revised invoice from Adriana.
I wrote about Bold & Noble recently (here) not realizing that they had an etsy shop with lots more prints available that I think fit a home office, craft room or kid’s space just perfectly.
Ever have days when you just want to wear a bag over your head? Kate Pugsley can relate. She’s a clever Chicago artist with some neat prints on etsy that you really should check out. {website}
Paola Zakimi designs Holli art and dolls that are so sweet, I love her little girls and their melancholy expressions. I want to do something that makes them smile again. They seem so sensitive and in need of a big hug. Paola is running a special promotion, buy two prints and receive free shipping. {flickr}
Welcome to the dreamy world of Irena Sophia (beautiful name) and her art studio with both original paintings and prints. Some of her originals, yes originals, are only $20! Irena is my latest obsession, I love her drawings of these sweet girls, so up my alley! You too? {blog}

I just adore that Make Do and Mend Poster! It’s been on my radar since you first mentioned it. I think it’s time I just purchase it so that I can enjoy it each and every day. Lovely finds!
