A few Etsy treasures

Seeing as I'm currently squirrelling away my pennies for our new bathroom & kitchen, I thought I'd share my favourite finds on Etsy - in the hope that they will find a good home & stop tempting me with their awesomeness ;)

British Etsians

I love buying from Etsy, but I also love buying, and think it's important to buy locally, so I wanted to share a few of my favourite UK-based Etsy sellers. Hope you enjoy the list!

1. Dolly Knits - Knitwear designer, Joanna, designs the most beautifully hand-knitted accessories. I'm in love with her pom pom hats!

2. Gooseberry Moon - Their stationery is designed and made in North Wales. They have a great range of cards, notebooks, gift tags, etc. I'll be buying that butterfly confetti for the next wedding I go to :)

3. Emma Lamb - I have loved her crochet for years! I intend to treat myself to one of her cushion covers one of these days... As a treat for ticking off one of my goals perhaps?!

4. Belle & Boo - This was set up by 2 friends - Mandy & Kate. Together they sell the most beautifully illustrated books, cards, prints, mugs (I could go on...) - and now some darling children's clothes that I intend to buy for my BF's new little lady ♥

Do you have any favourite UK-based Etsy sellers?

Absolutely loving this...

I'm always happy when I'm doing any of those things!

Check out Lindsay Brackeen's Etsy shop and blog for some beautiful prints and inspiring posts.

Etsy: Noble Town Vintage

Such beautiful dresses from Noble Town Vintage. I just love it when I find a new Etsy shop!

Hope you are all having a lovely day. I spent this afternoon at my friend's preparing for her son's birthday party. We spent hours making bunting and then popped out for tea and cake. Perfect way to spend a day!

Why do you have such lovely things in your stores?

I'm trying very hard to be good and to save what little money I have, but you are making this veeeery difficult!

Cliché-free Valentine's Day cards

I can't stop looking through Able and Game's Etsy shop. Their cards crack me up! And they have the best Valentine's cards ever. Not one cliché in sight! Hope the boyfriend doesn't read this post as he's going to be getting one of these...
