due to my mid year blog break i missed out on sharing my love list with you for august, so guess what? this month i’m doing two love lists! but as a special edition i thought i’d narrow this list down to just my etsy loves. seeing as i’m always banging on about the vintage section, its only fair i share some fellow ‘handmade’ section sellers. i must admit that some of these i already own in some form, but they’re just too awesome i wanted to share them with you.

dandy the lion feltie: this cutie is just so cute i can’t bear it! my boy is getting too old for cute little felt lions, but aww its such a cute lil lion that nonesuchgarden has created.

russian galaxy t-shirt: now, this i know my son would definitely like! it’s like his perfect tee: he likes foreign language (a lot. really this kid is obsessed with counting in japanese), his favourite color is brown, he’s way into space right now and um… it has the cabury chocolate logo on it! check, check, and checkity check! santa claus has been informed.

psychedelic leo lion print: this is one store i’ve bought from! i snapped up a cancer the crab print from their series of astrological prints because both me and my guy are cancerians and well, we both love awesome 60s design. these are all seriously cool designs though and no star sign will be disappointed.

purple horse print another print i’ve bought and can’t recommend highly enough – mine is a technicolor horse, though i do love the purple one too. such fabulous design it even got a mention when i spoke to a psychic! no joke, she described my living room and mentioned a horse picture that resonated strongly. spooooky. but oh so chic.

porcelain stig lindberg leaf ring: i saw this.. and almost died. my boyfriend generally knows when i find something awesome on etsy because he hears me mutter “fuuuuuuuuu…..” and turns to see me slack jawed and bug eyed over whatever i’ve found. well this morning i discovered he really does listen to my gasps and swoons. a little box arrived and inside was a ring, just like this one. aww! best wednesday morning surprise present ever!

felt flower brooch: it was really hard to pick a favourite from this store. i love them all. such fine, and well executed work on such fabulous designs. also: floooooowers. i love them.

fabric button earrings: i know it seemed like everyone was making these for a while there, but i bought some earrings from this seller and i wear them all the time! mine have blue flowers on them, but i could easily see myself wearing these green cuties lots too! i just love that fabric.

custom order applique leather bag: this was definitely one of my ‘fuuuuuu…’ moments of finding something amazing. that bag is just spectacular! and its so exciting that something so fabulous is from here in melbourne. i actually found the seller (scotatto) on etsy after seeing her cute brooches and wallets etc aaaall around town in the coolest of shops. but, oh.. that bag! i may never recover from its awesomeness. who wants to come to a handbag fundraiser?

carly the crafty chick print: ah s. britt! his work never fails to make me smile. great colors, sweet nostalgic style, and craftastic craftacular carly is so cute! there’s a reason this guy is so prolific and in-demand and one look at that cutie-pie print gives you the answer.

hope you enjoyed! stay tuned for the september wishlist, coming soon!
