Featured in a Treasury - WAITING for the first DROPS OF RAIN to come...

The Maude grey blue canvas messenger bag (aka purse) was just featured in a great treasury by Etsy seller TamTam Feng Shui Art.  The theme of this treasury was rain, or better still, waiting for the rain.  Living in Israel it can get a bit frustrating waiting for those first drops of rain, and this year we are still waiting, and worse yet, stuck in a bit of a heat wave.

But alas, those raindrops will eventually come, and until then, we can all enjoy the feeling with this gorgeous treasury.







TamTam Feng Shui Art sells some amazing items, including greeting cards and canvas prints. My favorite item from her store is Feng Shui Art No.1, Career, print on canvas, which by the way, is also available as a greeting card.  Be sure to check out the store for other great items and this fantastic treasury to see all the  featured items!

There's Nothing Better Than Getting a Card!

There's no better way to show someone how much you care than with a card! And if you're going to give a card, you may as well give one that was made with love, instead of those generic old Hallmarks...

Etsy seller Old Soul Style  has some beautiful cards to choose from for almost any occasion! One of my favorites is this great Halloween card, perfect for your friends and family.

The card is decorated with buttons and ribbons and shows off the colors of quite possibly one of the greatest holidays. Now I may no longer live in the US, but I still love Halloween, and would really appreciate a great card like this! Be sure to check out the other cards available from Old Soul Style, such as the Holiday cards and a card just to let someone know you love them!

Item of the Day - Small Bouquet Pinback Buttons

Looking for a pin that will surely get you compliments? Then you need to check out the incredible selection by Etsy seller SoleDeVita.  There is a large variety of buttons and stud earrings at unbelievable prices.

And the most unbelievable part of all is that all her items are handmade using everything from real dried flowers to feathers and even water color paints! Every button and earring is truly one of a kind, or in Etsy speak, OOAK.

The Pinback button shown here is made with real dried flowers and skeleton leaves. It's the perfect button to add a touch of flair to your entire fall wardrobe including your laptop bag :).

Brand New Bag Listed at My Store

So I finally listed a new bag that I made. I call it the iPear - because it's not fair that the apple gets all the fun!

Check out the iPear and some of my other laptop and messenger bags on Etsy.

New to Blogging and New to Etsy

Let me get started with a little bit of background about myself.  I was born and raised in Israel and currently travel around the world thanks to my job at an airline. Although I have a "real" job, my true passion is designing and making bags for your everyday.  I mostly make unisex bags ranging from padded laptop bags to small messenger bags.  I gather inspiration from my friends and surroundings, and basically, I love every bit of the design and creation process. Recently one of my friends convinced me to start selling my bags on Etsy, which caused me to open a store and now this blog :)

I am new to the world of blogging but thought that this would be a good place to start posting some of my Etsy related happenings.

For those of you who aren't aware of what Etsy is, let me give you a bit of background:
Etsy is basically a community of sellers and buyers. The website is filled with thousands of sellers from around the world that offer vintage and handmade items.  At Etsy you can usually find one of a kind items from one of a kind sellers.  If you haven't been there before I highly recommend stopping by and looking around.

Etsy seems to be a bit of drug for newbie sellers, or at least it is for me.  You become addicted to a whole new side of your business, for example, Google Analytics or SEO, things that I was never concerned about when I was just designing my bags.  Suddenly life got so technical, I mean, I never in a million years thought that I would start my own blog, analytics account, or anything of the sort, but here I am!

This blog will be dedicated to all things Etsy, including great items from sellers I happen to find, and my adventures into the world of online sales.

Hope to see you around!
