EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week :: Amievoltaire

More amazing work to share with you! I'd like to introduce Angela Keller of Amievoltaire.

While browsing the wonderful creations in her shop, I realized something: everyone in my family would enjoy something in her shop!

ME: I'm convinced I'll be a better cook wearing this Romantic Half Apron Sweet Mint Cupcakes. 

MY HUBBY: I have more confidence in the kitchen. I cook more. Bonus!

MY GIRLS: Any little girl who puts this adorable skirt on would absolutely, positively HAVE to TWIRL! Twirl Skirt Apple Metro Market

MY GIRLS [again]: How about matching skirts for my girls and their dolls. Big smiles all around! Bloom and Grow Euro Skirt for 18 inch Doll

MY CATS: Well, okay...they get left out, but everyone else is happy!

From Angela's profile:

I enjoy designing items that are representative of my eclectic personality and love for culture, seasons, nature and tradition.

I enjoy a variety of music genres but I'm an 80's child stuck in the 80's while my hubby drowns my senses with Led Zeppelin and the like. I'm a doll collector who loves sports, the outdoors and meeting friends for coffee. Most of my time is taken by making clothes and driving kids to school and sports. Time and freedom is the goal I've worked to and is my future.

SPECIAL OFFER: To celebrate her status as the Etsy Twitter Teams’ Shop of the Week, Angela is offering a special giveaway that ends February 28. Anyone who mentions Etsy Twitter Team will receive 20% off their total purchase. In addition, check out the giveaway on her blog.

Featured EtsyBlogger for February :: TiLT Creations

I'm excited to share the amazing work of this month's featured EtsyBlogger, TiLT Creations! Theresa's beautiful creations are handmade and one-of-a-kind, and her fabric selections make me smile. Here are a couple of my favs:

I love the retro feel of this Lime Pink Paisley Metal Frame Clutch!

This beautiful Zip Pouch would make a wonderful replacement for the sad zipper bag I'm currently using to organize my purse (sad, but true).

 

Be sure to browse the rest of her shop to see all her creations in fabric: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TiLTcreations and follow her blog: http://tiltcreations.blogspot.com/

Taking a look back at 1965

While it's not polite to ask a lady her age. To celebrate my birthday, I've decided to break the rules, admit my age and celebrate the fact that I'm VINTAGE!

Take a look back with me at the wonderful treasures I share my birthyear with...I actually had a few of these!

Check out more from 1965 on Etsy, or do a search for your year. You might just find something that makes you smile!

Look What Punky Found :: Raggedy Ann and Andy Mug from MachoMachismo

Oh...now this is taking me back! Back all the way to my first Raggedy Ann Doll that I left on the bus taking her to show and tell in kindergarten. And to the replacement my mom got for me only to have me accidentally rip her arm off playing Ring Around the Rosy. Back to all the books, bedding, figurines, banks...some of which I still have!

My favorite part? Always the sweet little 'I Love You' in a heart on her chest. *sigh*

This adorable vintage Raggedy Ann and Andy mug is featured in the shop of my buddy, MachoMachismo on Etsy. While you are checking this out, be sure to look at the other 105 vintage treasures he has available. You might just find something that takes YOU back!

EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week :: Foxy G Knits!

The colors. The texture. The style. You get it all with the beautiful work from this week's EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week, Foxy G Knits!

Not only is Lois amazingly talented and one of the most active members of our team, she is also one of the sweetest people you could ever know.

I'm thrilled to share a few of my favorites from her shop:

Hand Knit Sassy Wrap Scarf in Royal Amethyst

Hand Knit Goddess Shawl Wrap in Mardi Gras colors

Hand Knit Amethyst Shawl

From her profile:

Knitting is my passion that has its roots in childhood. I learned from my mom, way back when we were carving our needles out of dinosaur bones. And then, sadly, I fell off the wagon and embraced needlepoint and counted cross stitch for countless years (pardon the pun). However, being a woman of true grit and strong character, I saw the light and found my way back.

For a long time, knitting was an avocation and not a vocation for me. While others expressed their creativity through cooking or gardening or painting, I was clicking away on my needles. In sheer and utter desperation, friends and family finally convinced me to open a store on etsy. I just know that they were getting so tired of receiving scarves, shawls, baby blankets and hats for birthdays and every other special occasion! I recently took the plunge and opened Foxy G. Knits where everything is knit by hand – from my heart to yours.

PICKING A SHOP NAME
I have a little granddaughter who is going on two years old. When we were selecting our grandparent names, I joked that I would be “Grandma Lo” by day and “Foxy G.” by night. When I was trying to come up with a name for my shop, Foxy G. Knits was a natural!

SPECIAL OFFER: Now through February 7th Lois is offering the following discount in her shop...FREE U.S. SHIPPING on all purchases totaling $40 or more. Put LOVEISINTHEAIR in the Note to Seller. Shipping fees will be refunded via PayPal after payment has been made.
