A happy girl.

I recently got the MOST amazing business cards! From a shop on Etsy, --happygirlgreetings. Laura Beth was very sweet and I absolutely love my new cards! They really are fabulous. :)

They are printed on this heavy cardstock, that has a bit of a texture, kind of linen-like. So they look really elegant! I got two designs, for both my main Etsy shops --

She has lots of other paper items in your shop! I may have to pick out something else ;)

She even has moving announcements! Super cute.

LoveErica.

LoveErica is a friend I met in Etsy chat; she is a fellow photographer-turned-jewelry-maker! :) Her shops (LoveErica and LoveEricaPhotography) carry a wide variety of items.

Her shop is also your go-to place for custom handstamped muslin bags.

Jewelry Vixen.

So I met JewelryVixen in chat and the virtual labs, and she seriously makes some gorgeous jewelry :) Very sweet person too!

I have these anemone, mint earrings from her. And they are soooo pretty! Really tiny too, check the third photo.

I actually featured these earrings in my mint treasury that made the front page! So happy that I could help a talented jewelry maker get some more Etsy exposure :)

Check out her shop, it's full of more pretty stuff!

Ponder & Stitch

What I buy on Etsy...

I bought some adorable headbands recently from http://theriveriseverywhere.etsy.com/

Sam's shop is so cute and she is super nice too! She included a free ring with my order :)

I ordered the cutest flower headbands! The first one I fell in love with had a creamy beige floral fabric. I thought the contrast with my dark hair would be perfect!

Then I also got one with a navy blue striped flower, and a cute little red button. Kind of nautical, which is always a favorite of mine! :)

Sam also sent me one of these adorable mini notebook rings :)

And there are so many other things in her shop that I love as well! Such a great variety too; headbands, jewelry, tote bags, etc, and all super cute and well priced :)

haha, this is me again wearing one of my new headbands :)

Super Special Seller Saturdays -- A Weekly Feature

I started a forum thread (which you can see here -- http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6214249) looking for talented up and coming Etsy artists. This will be a weekly (maybe even a couple times a week!) feature, the first one follows below, enjoy!

♥ kelsey.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

up first -- Stephanie of "Pretty Much Art"

http://prettymuchart.etsy.com/

Stephanie's shop features her original works in a variety of different forms. Everything starts out as a hand-drawn illustration, which is then scanned and manipulated in Photoshop.

You can purchase her art as notecards, bookmarks, pendants, coasters, or magnets. She also offers matted prints. Even more special is the fact that the 11x14 total size white matted works are one of a kind; only one of each design will be printed and sold.

Straight from 23 year old Stephanie's Etsy profile --

"My current line is 'Pretty Much Natural' consisting of plants and weeds with an occasional butterfly, dragonfly, bird, or frog. Some are on the softer, more natural side, while some have a little more wild and funky flair."

The art works in PrettyMuchArt are separated into thoughtful sections for easy shopping. Here are some of my favorites --

Little Blue Bird Pretty Pendant...

Orange Flower, Funky Notecards (set of 4)...

Hot Pink Dragonfly Magnets (Set of 4)...
