Etsy Take Five Tuesday

Well hello there friends! How are you today? Having a good February so far? Today was busy for me, but a good busy so I'm not complaining. It feels good to be back home with my cozy laptop to sit here before you and share some Etsy finds for the week. I've been thinking about this while out and about today... who can I feature this week? And these five shops came to mind. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.

Kiersten Essenpreis is an artist/illustrator living in Brooklyn who is quite imaginative with her whimsical prints. Some of her clients include GQ, The New York Times, LA Weekly, Paper Magazine, Nylon Magazine, and Coach Handbags so Kiersten's work just may be familiar to you for a reason!

Studio Flower Power in Canada creates cards pretty enough to frame using digital imagery, hand drawings and real pressed flowers on each one.

I have a few girlfriends who are pregnant and I keep looking for something handmade and special to give to them... these knit hats and baby booties from Mama Rosa's just may be what I'm looking for! How I love hats with ears...

Krize and her "smiling shop" as she calls it is a Lithuanian children's book illustrator living in Spain and selling mostly her illustrations as prints and accessories. They are so sweet how can you not smile. :)

Indobay creates modern hand-printed textiles with a simple touch for the home. There is beauty in this work because it is not made by a machine but with love by hand -- everything has unique character and one-of-a-kind charm.
