I’m still hard at work in the Studio, prepping the fall line. But I thought I’d take a few moments to put up a short but lovely The Best of Etsy. For the next few weeks, The Best of Etsy will be previewing Fall 2010’s colors. Up today: Purple Orchid.

The Best of Etsy: Fall Preview Purple Orchid

Every girl needs a new bag for fall and Eight Seasons delivers one that’s perfect for the season. Roomy, soft, and beautifully adorned.

Fall isn’t complete without a gorgeous scarf to keep you warm and stylish. And I’m falling in love with Marshall Arts-–handwoven and ultra soft in a amazing collection of colors.

And why not a little bling? Especially if it’s pocketbook friendly! Lovely earrings from Wild Woman Jewelry

It’s all gorgeous, right? Tell me your favorite purple find for fall!  Leave a link in a comment!

Yay!! It’s finally summer here in the Northern Hemisphere. Time for another The Best of Etsy List. Today, it’s all about summer fashion and sunshine.

The Best of Etsy: The Early Summer List

You don’t want to be wearing heavy or clunky jewelry in the heat of summer. And Elpy’s Breta necklace is just the answer. Light and lovely and perfectly suited to soft summery blouses.

Jen has amazing style. This dress is perfect for slipping over a swimsuit. But I think you could also dress it up with strappy sandals and wear out it! This comes in several color combinations if pale pink isn’t you thing!

Maybe Summer = Boho-chic for you. This amazing bracelet is just the thing! It looks like ceramic tiles, but don’t let looks fool you! From the ever lovely Jewelera

I’m completely enchanted with everything in Blue Sea Blue. You will be too!

And it wouldn’t be summer without a great pair of sandals! Check out Feesk! Handmade and utterly drool-worthy!

Hi All! Happy June. It’s been a little while since I’ve done an installment of The Best of Etsy—but I’ve been thinking about you a lot! And I have a few amazing finds I can’t wait to share.

The  Best of Etsy: The Come to Tea List

I’m completely enchanted with Birdie Handmade. Gorgeous dresses for women and little girls. There is such whimsy and attention to detail. It’s a feast for your soul. Go look!

Molly Hatch! Wow. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t feature an artist who is basically sold out. But her work is simply divine and she is taking special orders. It’s worth your time to go stroll through her sold items and mark her shop for the future. Because, wow, oh wow, oh wow!

Janum is a new store on Etsy, but there is little doubt it’s going to be a HUGE success. The only down side I see is that these amazing dresses don’t come in MY size. And I really admire her photography work. Simply divine. (Note, this store is taking a break during July to prep for the fall/winter line. Last day to order is June 27th!)

One word: ENCHANTING! Go see it all at Louche Lab

And finally… a touch of vintage from The Soft Palate. (take a peek around this tiny store for other wonders!)

Ok, that’s it! Go have a cup of tea… or if you’re in warmer climates, a glass of Iced Tea!

It’s time for another The Best of Etsy list! And you’re in luck, because today’s list is SUPERSIZED! It’s an eclectic list this time, because sometimes you just don’t need a theme. I’m calling it Starlight. . .

The Best of Etsy — Starlight

The color is absolutely divine, don’t you think? (and something of a rare find, this McCoy vase by Star Fault)

I’m completely enchanted with Coralie Beatrix. These dresses are clever and beautiful!

So modern, yet feminine too. I love how light-weight these are. Earrings by Quercus Silver

I love everything about Lee Ohio Designs. This necklace would be a wonderful place to start your collection.

Why not keep your secrets in this lovely agenda?? Full of illustrations from various artists, this Universal Agenda features cover art from PaperBullet!

Because you are. And you’ll need something to write with. By Mudpuppy.

Mother’s Day is coming up, and this particular Mama could use a new bag. Something luscious and lovely and utterly handmade. Bet your Mama would like one too!

The Best of Etsy — The Mama Needs a New Bag List

I’m loving the soft texture of this La Touchable bag. Gently embroidered with a stunning button close. It’s plum perfect, no?

I’m thinking of all the ways I could use this silk Clutch by Julia Sherry Designs. You might be here awhile, because I’m still counting. . .

This large hobo by Patkas is divine. The color, the texture, the size. . .  Perfect!

And who knows, maybe if you splurge on Mom she’ll let you borrow her new bag once in awhile? Just a thought!

Do you have a favorite “it” bag for this spring? Something just perfectly you? Share a link in the comments!!
