Today is usually Etsy Take Five Tuesday day but since I'm in vacation, the column will be on hold until January 5th. Never fear! I'm here to share at least one lovely Etsy seller. Her name is Alli Coate and she is a talented illustrator in Providence, RI who recently told me about her new line of fabric jewelry with soft shapes and lovely coordinating ribbons and threads. And of course, there are the illustrations... oh, the illustrations!

So hard to resist these charmers! And isn't her product packaging so sweet?
