Instead of Black Friday...

How about Etsy Friday? Wouldn't that be incredible...to shop from the comfort of your own home, support local or US based artisans and get a unique one-of-a-kind gift for that special someone???

Come on friends let's start a trend and replace the outdated, drive you mad, no parking, excessive amount of stuff Black Friday and switch to the new and improved...Etsy Friday!!

Here are some of my fave's on Etsy right now and please forgive the randomness...

Feral Cat Bag $9 (i love the expression on this cat...so charming like he wants to ever so gently scratch your eye out)
Feral Cat Tote Bag

Ink Iku Dress by threelittleducksaus $140 (anything from this shop would be okay by me)

Ceramic travel mug with lid $20 (love this...the potter must have had great skill b/c it is very difficult to match a ceramic mug with a plastic lid and have it fit b/c clay shrinks a lot in the kiln)
Ceramic travel mug with lid -  blue with plum accents

Re-usable fabric wall stickers $53 (these are fabric and not PVC like every other decal out there...lovin' these for a kids room or above a white sofa)
Hundreds and Thousands- wall decals, reusable fabric wall stickers

Lavender Matryoshka dolls  (so cute)

Coral Red Recycled Leather and Wool Cat Bag $180 (i am not sure if you can tell, but i like cats...actually i love them way too much)

Agnes by CricketandBear $14 (i need agnes...isn't she just so adorable??)

  4. Quintessence I believe you have me confused with a company based out of Oregon called Quince and I totally agree with you, their Thanksgiving tabletop was just divine!

  5. I hate crowds so I don't care much for any kind of sales [unless it's online]. That dress is cute... I love discovering new Etsy shops :).
