I found everything this week using Pounce, which shows new shops that haven’t had a sale yet. There’s some great stuff out there! Must…hold…back…shopping…fingers!
I think this Banana Sky painting from FourFeetSquare is cheerful, and I love the keys. This would put me in a good mood immediately.
I bought these great Happy Little HIPPO Notecards from Cherries & Whales’ Tails this week. They have amazingly fun, customizable stationery. I even started to do a custom gorilla design with Suzanne before I saw these hippos and changed my mind. I dare anyone receiving one of these in the future NOT to smile when you see that hippo!
I’ve been all over Etsy this week and I’m obsessed with patterns and prints.
This week I bought this Amigurumi Happy Weather Mobile Pattern from AmyGaines. Her patterns are the most original I’ve seen, and someday when crochet and I become more than just acquaintances, I will make this. I have looked at this picture all week when I’m feeling grumpy, and I’ve discovered that it’s just impossible not to smile at it. What I’m still trying to find is a pattern for a knitted/crocheted/sewn gorilla. I collect gorillas and cannot find a way to make my own yet!!
This week’s picks:
I bought this goldfish fabric from Lucky Kaeru Fabric and Supplies, a regular stop for me. They have great imported fabrics and will do custom orders if you need a higher quantity or want something that is no longer posted. I used this fabric for Alannah’s blanket, so I just did a custom order to stock up on more of it. This is probably my favorite Etsy shop.
