Thursdays Three...
Welcome to Thursdays Three...
This week I found so many AMAZING Etsy shops! It was so hard to choose just three. But, I did and here they are:
Sbarao
She is located in Paris, France. This shop has cute accessories made from vintage items and other materials. I just love Sbarao! This is her newest shop. Please check out her other art shop Lafeecoriandre. Beautiful work!
Apple and Eve
So many people have told me this was their favorite shop! AND, I can totally tell why. What a fabulous shop! She makes embroidered cotton and linen toys. I would also use them as decoration! So cute! Check out the shop!
Cynthia del Giudice Jewelry
I am WAY addicted to jewelry (and shoes, and chocolate, and teacups, and...). I LOVE her stuff. So beautiful. And unique. She is located in Argentina. Please, check out her amazing shop! Her shop on my Christmas list!

My shop...
Today is about me.... YAY!
Paper Lady Invites at Etsy! Buy Handmade this holiday season!
I just recently went to the BIG holiday show here in Portland. Man, I was SOOOO disappointed. I'd say about 70% of the items were brought in and cheaply made in China. It was all junk too. Very ugly mass produced statues, junky cheezy ornaments, and so on... Things you'd like for a couple days and toss later (because it will probably break or fall apart by then anyway). So wasteful!
So, please buy handmade this holiday season. It doesn't have to be from me or Etsy. But that's a good place to start!
