Naturally, I highly encourage you to start your shopping at Etsy, even if it's not at my shop. You'll find beautiful, unique things that you just can't find anywhere else. For example, I found a listing for a print of Pyrex bowls today!
In fact, my hubby purchased at least half of my gifts from Etsy last year, and it was terrific. Etsy sellers have a creative spirit, and a knack for making fun stuff!
Here are a few new items from my Etsy shop that may be nice for you or someone on your list:
An Owl Tri-fold Wallet - this was fun to make! I purchased the pattern from a fellow Etsy seller, who gave me permission to sell finished items.
A new design of my tablet/ Nook or Kindle Case - I needed a place to hold my cords, stylus, etc. that I keep buying to go with my Kindle Fire tablet.
And, of course, I also offer custom fabric versions of all of these, too. Just click on the "Fabric Choices" tab above to see all the options!
I totally agree with you Jean. Make a list and make it specific - with links if possible. It may ruin the surprise, but really how often do they get it right without our direction. The time he gave me a Weber grill for my Birthday was the last straw.

Since your post is about Etsy, my next comment is very timely. Last year I "half" listened to your podcasts #44 and #45 about Etsy. This year I decided to open my own shop and one of the first things I did was look for those episodes but this time I REALLY listened. I want to thank you for all the valuable information I found there. Tonight I opened PatchworkByPaula on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteThanks again and off I go on a new adventure.

Don't forget the famous Rock Clock that Dad bought Mom one year. The clock that never, ever worked. Good picks! Maybe K can teach J how to shop on Etsy, I think the creativity scares him.
