It’s time for my Etsy shops of the week along with a few favorite picks from each maker. But first, how are you doing? Hope all is well and that you’re feeling energized and happy! If not, these colors and patterns below are sure to kickstart a good mood. Enjoy!
First up, PILLOWS! I briefly mentioned Bright July yesterday but in case you missed them, here are happy prints and pillows to brighten your July, or in this case, February.
Another lovely shop this week is Vapor Qualquer, a fantastic print shop with loads of quotes that I’m sure you’ll love.
Time to check out Banquet. Have you heard of them before? Great prints, cards, note sets and more. I really like their floral note cards.
I’m a massive Leah Lerner bag fan – I want this gold tote sooooo bad! Someone please buy it so I can drool over your new bag, okay?
Finally, let’s end this with more PILLOWS okay? Why not. Look at the bright patterns and colors from Earth Cadets. These are all organic and screen printed which make them even more special!
What did you think of my round up this week? Any shop suggestions for me for future round ups???

Ready to get your Etsy fix? Me too! Here are my five favorite Etsy shops this week. Maybe you can help me out by adding some of your favorites to the comments section? I always like seeing what others find appealing. Ready to get started? Great, come shop with me!
First is Studio Snowpuppe — who is no stranger to this blog but I have to show them again in case you’ve not seen their fantastic lighting a thousand times already on blogs and Pinterest. I love this company and wish to own a lamp from them eventually – I am a total fan girl of this cool Dutch design studio. Boom! Boom! Boom! (my heart!)
Next, we’ll check out Kate’s handmade cuties from the Ukraine in her shop, Woodland Tale. Lots of  sweet plush toys that are finished so nicely. I like Kate’s imagination.
Now it’s time for delicate and beautiful jewelry in the Apple Latte shop. I just adore her fun pieces so much – understated but with personality – like the Batman ring. Don’t you secretly want to be Bat girl?
Have you heard of Creatiate? If you love to do a lot of DIY, this shop is for you! If you don’t, maybe it’s because you haven’t yet been introduced to the wonderful world of rubber stamps. Creatiate makes her own and you can use them on a plethora of creations from gift wrap to fabric and walls. Fun!
What do you think of washi tape? Are you an addict like me? Do you use it often? If not, The Washi Shop may change your life. Ok, maybe not your life but definitely your approach to crafting. So many gorgeous Japanese masking tapes to choose from, oh my!
Thank you for joining me today for Etsy Take Five Tuesdays! Hope you found a few new favorites, too.

Hello everyone! YES you read my blog post title correctly — Etsy Take Five Tuesdays is BACK! I’ve decided that I’ve really missed writing this column and connecting all of you to some of my favorite Etsy sellers so you can expect my favorites again each and every Tuesday. Who is on my radar this week? Why don’t you check out…
1: \\ ARMINHO – paper ephemera shop. I love their educational charts and notebooks!
2: \\ teconlene – le petit monde – whimsical illustrations. The welcome home print is a personal fave.
3: \\ maze & vale – handprinted, handmade textiles and other pretty things from fabric. Their DIY advent fabric is so cool and you can really apply those numbers to anything during other times of the year, like storage bins!
4: \\ KarolinFelixDream – wooden treasures. Her pendants and wooden desk organizers are my favorites!
5: \\ PELLE designs – lighting from Brooklyn – I want this chandelier, don’t you?

Hey everyone, how are you today? I’m doing great, very busy at the moment but I always look forward to times when I can be on decor8 sharing my finds and interacting with you because it’s my escape from the chaos. :) Blogging is such therapy, isn’t it!? Today is Tuesday and as you know, it’s time for me to highlight five Etsy shops that I’m enjoying this week so let’s get started and see what talent awaits us over on Etsy today!
First up, I’m mad for prize ribbons, badges and paper crafting so the Saratops shop had my attention the second I found Sara’s sweet little crafty heaven. I love her map ribbons and library book card notebooks and that she’s into recycling – she’s quite clever I think!
Arminho in Portugal has the best notebooks – I’d love to have a bunch of them for my office as I refer to travel size notebooks so often and carry them everywhere I go. Do you use notebooks too?
The next little shop keeper is Love, Maude and I really like her sweet hand-embroidered felted wool creations, especially her embroidery hoops-as-decor. So pretty and created so expertly – I appreciate her attention to finer details and her limited, sophisticated color palette.
Illustrative watercolors from Gennebra in Portugal is another pretty find that I discovered this morning while browsing Etsy. Her focus on animals and soft pastels is quite sweet. Her animal paw art is my favorite – I’d love to frame them for a kid’s bedroom.
Kirbee Lawler in Sydney is a graphic designer and illustrator who creates nice wooden brooches and art prints that you can frame and display with a feminine look and feel.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed my round up, I’ll be back in a moment with a few more inspiring posts for your decorating pleasure… :)
