Etsy post

I wanted to share with you my previous finds from Etsy. I purchased these items many years ago, and still love them to this day.

I got these exact prints by Alberto Cerriteno in June 2009. I placed them in floating frames, so the background inside the frame is my red-colored wall in my bedroom. You can check out his items for sale here.

I also purchased  these gorgeous antiquey-looking necklaces by 1ofmykind in Feb 2007, and still wear them today.

Now onto a piece I have not purchased, but noticed. This side table by Michael Arras is affordable for a great handmade piece of furniture, and you can customize it.

Prints on wood blocks

These are my latest finds from Etsy. I have a new thing for blocks. I want to share a few examples, all by different artists, which you can go explore via the links below or D.I.Y it yourself by getting wood blocks, your favourite pictures from your album and a couple of tools.

Irregular Choice shoes and Etsy jewelry

I like this steampunk ring and necklace on etsy.com.

 

I love Irregular Choice (they also have a more subdued sister company called Poetic Licence); their creativity rocks. Some of my favourite shoes are from them, but I don't love everything they do; in fact there are quite a number of shoes from them that I do not like and would not wear, and by that I mean "over my dead body" kind of would-not-wear,  but even those that I do not like, I tip my hat to because every single pair of shoes from this brand , even those that are not to my liking, are undoubtedly creative and nothing like you see from any other shoe brand out there, which is why I salute this British brand for being outside of the box. The exception is their men's shoes, which are lacking in creativity compared to some of their women's styles.

Anyway, I have been wearing stuff from Irregular Choice for many many years. My latest buy was these boots last year. I am a sucker for black/white or black/red polka dots AND those cute heels and the quilting-type stitching details and everything else are terribly adorable, but wearable at the same time.

And below I am also posting some of my favourites from their new designs.

Etsy finds

I have visited etsy.com countless times since it first launched years ago. I mainly bought jewelry pieces, but my latest purchases have been antique decor items. Yesterday I was looking for a rustic looking plant stand and came across this vintage-crate-turned-table. If you are handy, you can easily do it yourself if you go find a vintage crate at your local flea market and buy some industrial legs to attach to it.

Also I saw this one, which was also cute:
