Okay, so you all know I am a newcomer to public blogging. I love to write, I love to interact with people, and I love to design and create. So many of the blogs I have visited have included links to delightful “handmade” Etsy shops. Etsy artists are incredibly inspiring. Today I discovered over a hundred Etsy shops based right here in our little Nation’s Capital of Ottawa—wonderful!
Some of my Etsy favourites so far:
Kangas... Wonderful, unique bead jewelry, some using fabric beads! Well, I never...
MonkeyPowered... Ottawa based illustrator. So very kewl.
MissVee... Simple bead earrings. Love the photography.
JoJo’s Room... I love the nostalgic note cards using vintage children’s book illustrations.
I have spent every available minute today exploring Etsy shops, discovering AMAZING talented artists, and—wait for it—opening my own shop. Yes, Leslee’s giveaway prize cards inspired me to finally take the plunge and set-up shop to sell my designs. I will also offer a collection of beadwork—my other creative release.
Introducing JOE designs—the shop, named for how I have signed my greeting cards since I was about ten.
Adorable, I know.
