Today I introduce you to ViolaStudio. She specializes in the creation of original handcrafted items that are made from reproduced premium materials, vintage or recycled paper and fabrics, 100% wools, natural suede and leather. 

Incase you see something in the shop that you just HAVE TO HAVE... it's good to know that a handmade card and gift bag is included with each toy.

Her creatures are just too cute so do pop in to her shop and take a look for yourself and let me know which one was your favourite - I must say I just love the red Pugy Goat!!

I was browsing around looking at some jewelery and stumbled upon this Etsy store. If you love jewelery and anything artsy then you'll love these! The designer loves texture, patterns, contrast and colour and for fun she enjoys creating art with recycled items. These beauties are created using hand carved stamps on polymer clay (this creates the stunning textures) and each piece is then finished off by bringing the textures out using acrylic paints.

Do pop in and see all of the other jewelery that is for sale in her store - it really is worth a visit!

If ever I've seen something truly beautiful and unique it has to be the ceramic products created by Natalyasots! If I had to win the lotto I'd by one of each of her products for sale in her Etsy Shop.
All of her work is in earthenware clay and gets bisque fired and glazed. Most of all it's all hand made so every peace is unique and special! Upon looking at her dotted tea pot I'm whisked away to a fairy tale world and can imagion having tea with the Mad Hatter before going down the rabbit hole.

Do yourself a huge favor... MAKE THE TIME & go and check out her store at this link: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5259638

So up next in my list of favourites is a shop called "Stitchface" by Danielle Wright. Danielle lives in Toronto, Ontario with - as she puts it - "my handsome partner Mike and a whole bunch of stuffed animals." As her shops states... each item is made with lots of love (as is evident from the cute products on sale in her shop) and what I love about her shop is that the aim is to make more ecofriendly products.

If you've got some time do check out the all of the cute characters in her shop on http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5729852
or if you'd like to read a little more about her then check out an interview of her on http://www.etsy.com/featured_seller.php?featured_user_id=5729852

Great Product

I love the packaging & hand generate feel of this product. It is clear that the hand drawn style is trendy right now with everything from sketches and hand generated type making its way into design and when you look at products like these you have to say "GREAT - I LOVE IT". "This Water" tastes great and it's by far the best tasting drink I've had here in the UK!
