Well what do you know… Etsy Take Five Tuesday is back! To kick things off, I’ve rounded up an eclectic mix featuring a few of my current favorite shops. Next week I’ll be back again with more and before you know, Miss Holly here will be back on schedule just like old times before I relocated. Feels good to get back into a routine again, I’ve missed it. I’ve decided that I won’t be writing much of a summary for my finds going forward since most of you don’t really read them anyway (most tell me you scan to see my finds and the shop name/link). Instead I’ll place links to all of the known spots online where you can find out more about the artist/maker and their work, including their etsy store link (well, of course). I hope you don’t mind and most importantly, that you find this slight modification to this column a bit more helpful. Okay, so are you ready for my picks? Here ya go…

Emma Lamb: {etsy} {blog} {flickr}

Brett Manning, aka Brettisagirl: {etsy} {website} {red bubble} {flickr} {blurb} {blog} {mysoti} {zazzle}

Deer Face, Devon Smith: {etsy} {flickr} {blog}

Beeb Design: {etsy} {blog}

HarBenger Duo: {etsy}

I hope that you enjoyed my mix this week! :) I’m loving them all and I can’t stop checking out those legs on that nightstand above — sweet.

you need to do what you need to do to maintain your enthusiasm for your work, Holly — breaking from the routine can create sparks elsewhere.

Some great finds Holly but I especially love the last one, the furniture. It’s both elegant and simple at the same time. I’m just a bit worried to hop over to Etsy to see how much it costs ;-)

I am really curious about this whole doll trend going on. All of a sudden I am seeing these dolls and doll-like illustrations all over the place… and by place I mean Etsy and the blogosphere. Dolls everywhere! I wonder why so many are suddenly being drawn to them? Maybe they are taking over? hehe

Hi Holly! I love your Etsy picks this week. I have a vague memory of a post you did of your favorite Etsy shops for getting crafts supplies, ribbons, etc. I can’t find it in the archives, though. Did I totally make that up? If not, do you happen to know which post that was? Thanks!
