International Etsy Feature: "Las Lopez Las" {Argentina}


I just adore the stunning wraps and shawls by "Las Lopez Las" from Argentina, a place I've always wanted to visit... The designs and colours are just amazing! "Las Lopez Las" is made up of three sisters who knit, loom, crochet and embroider using ancient techniques passed down from their grandmother! They create their pieces from local wool so when you purchase from their shop, you are truly getting a piece of South American life!

My new favourite shop... "For the Record" from Singapore... I love photos and albums and was thrilled a few months ago when I found this fabulous shop!

International Etsy Feature: "Helis" {Turkey}

When I was a little girl, I loved anything mini... When I happened upon these tiny little books by "Helis" from Turkey, they stirred up all kinds of "ohs" and "ahs" in me... Aren't they cute?

(The blog is pretty great too!)

International Etsy Feature: "Tijusai" {Lithuania}

I found a shop that takes my breath away... "Tijusai" from Lithuania is a lovely shop full of handmade necklaces, hair pieces and much more... The focal of each of the pieces are handmade flowers that make me think of a wedding in a spring garden... Not a bad thought on a cold and dreary Fall day!

International Etsy Feature: "Prince Design UK"


I was completely enthralled when I happened upon the British Etsy shop, "Prince Design UK"... The pottery is lovely, detailed and I was thinking, that you'd probably never want cover up the beautiful designs by putting something in the bowls! Visit the shop for some inspiring pottery and drop into the blog as well!
