From her profile:

Yarncoture is run by a stay at home mom of 5. I have been knitting for over 3 years and crocheting since I was a young girl. I have always liked to fashion together the unusual and extraordinary, as past customers have told me, "you should open your own shop!" I love to work with colors and designs that awaken the senses, catch the eye and simply "wow" you! My motto is "never give up your dreams, even if only you see them come true", so I invite you to discover the 'yarncoture' in you!

SPECIAL OFFER:

Free standard worldwide shipping for every item in my shop. This special offer will be available through December. Priority Mail and Express mail services will be available for an additional charge.

Look What Punky Found for Type Geeks!

I just love this amazing piece from peppersprouts on Etsy! As a font freak type geek, this Sans Serif Typography Wood Wall Art would look perfect hanging on my office wall.

EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week :: Journey of Love Designs

What a wonderful shop we have as the EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week! Journey of Love Designs works with one of my absolute favorite materials...paper! Here are a couple of my favorites...

This sweet ornament reminds me of ornaments my grandparents had when I was little.

These adorable magnets are only $3.50 each and are sure to brighten up any room:

Chiyogami Plum Blossoms Glass Tiles Magnets

From her profile:

Like many fellow crafters, my interest started as a child when we had handicraft and art classes in school. I've realized that I wanted to focus on paper crafts with this shop so I set up another one for items that come from my other crafty interests.

I love many crafts and find it hard to limit it to one or two. I love paper crafts, jewelry making, floral arrangements, soap making, and baking. My mother shares my interest in crafts and you will find some of her products in the other shop.

SPECIAL OFFER:

Free set of 6 gift tags with any order from Journey of Love Designs.
Free set of 2 scrubbies/coasters with any order from Seashell Baby.
Use code: "Etsytwitterteam"

Handmade for the Holidays! It's Trunk Show Time!

On Thursday, November 12th, the authority on Twitter for all things handmade will host a Virtual Trunk Show on Etsy.com showcasing great gift ideas for everyone. The Trunk Show will take place in Etsy.com’s Virtual Labs in the Gallery room (http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php). The show starts at 8 PM EST.

“We wanted to really make it easy for people to find unique gifts this year, and thought that a Virtual Trunk Show would be perfect,” says Etsy Twitter Team Co-Leader Kristen Evans, owner of FirebirdHouse Designs. “Grab a cup of cocoa and get a jumpstart on your list without having to fight crowds and traffic!”

The team, which uses Twitter to expand its reach to a global audience, thinks that this holiday season, people are looking for quality and a good price. “We really want to introduce people to the diversity and quality of handmade items,” says Vickie Porter, the team’s leader and the artist/owner behind the recycled domino jewelry of In My Head Studios. “You can find great gifts and stocking stuffers for even the most difficult people on your list, in every price range. Many of the artists will be on hand to meet 'in person' and chat about their work.” The categories being featured are For Her, For Him, For Kids, For Anyone, and Under $50. You are sure to find the right item for anyone on your list.

Vickie feels that encouraging people to make handmade items part of their holiday is important. “The handmade lifestyle really offers something unique, and we want to be sure and share that with the rest of the world, on Twitter and off.”

You’ll need an account with Etsy.com to attend. Don’t worry! It’s free and easy to sign up! Get there early so you can get a good seat!

There will be fantastic handmade prizes, too! See you there!

Featured from the EtsyBloggers Team :: The Fab Miss B

I have a thing for vintage aprons. Not sure why. I have several stashed in a drawer in my kitchen, one that hangs as a curatin in my mud room window, and, most importantly, the desire to hunt for more. 

These sweet little treasures, mostly from the 50s, come out when my girls and I bake in the Easy Bake Oven, but never when I'm actually cooking. I'd much rather get my clothes dirty than one of my aprons! 

I have a feeling this stems from the same defect I have that makes me hoard journals that I'll never use, but that's another blog post.

This month's Featured EtsyBlogger, The Fab Miss B, can help me with my search. She has some WONDERFUL vintage aprons in her shop. This is the one that caught my eye. The fabric looks amazing!

Be sure to check out her other shop and her blog as well. You'll fine 'unique handmade and vintage things for you and your home.' Happy hunting!

EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week :: Jenco13

Jenco13 is the EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week and I want to share a couple of my favs from my buddy Jen. 

Her cup cozies are so cute...and handy! I carry mine in my purse so I always have it with me. No more need for those awful cardboard sleeves or double cups! Mine is purple, of course, but it has an adorable little daisy-like flower as well. Check them out.

Her crocheted scarves are just beautiful! She has several designs, but this is my favorite:

From her profile:

I have been crocheting for many years now. Many of my friends have asked when I am going to start a website for all my stuff. Most of them have my scarves as well as some baby blankets and/or baby sweaters. I also make pocket books, and hats. In the few years I have done a lot of crocheting. I realized that after my husband deployed that it helped pass the time. When he returned home I decided that this is something I never wanted to give up again. I have many patterns in 2 binders that I would like to do at least once. Currently I have a loooong way to go on this goal. ;)

Most of my inspiration comes from magazines such as Lucky and Cosmo (for the colors that are “in”). Other inspiration comes from friends and family, mostly my mom who is an artist herself.

I always have a few projects going at a time because I like the variety of being able to see my items come together.

I also volunteer to make handmade scarves and blankets for a local charity that provides them to cancer patients and other’s who are in need.

10% of the money I earn through my crocheting goes into making care packages for the troops overseas. I currently have several friends there that I will send a package too and they share with their fellow soldiers.

SPECIAL OFFER:

CUP COZIES ARE BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!
SCARVES ARE BUY ONE GET ONE 1/2 PRICED!
