Two exciting new shops!!

It's not very often that I blog about online shops, after permenantly putting my Etsy shop on hold, I haven't had the enthusiasm for Etsy that I used too. However, yesterday I got very excited about online shopping indeed as two of my lovely UK blog friends Elizabeth and Zoe opened their shops and now I am very excited to share them with you!

First up is Elizabeth's new shop Three Jelly Moulds and a Wardrobe...

 

If you follow Elizabeth's blog or Twitter then you know that she has been putting her shop together for a while hunting out the perfect pieces for it and I must say, her finds really are lovely. 

With a combination of vintage and retro pieces and categories such as Kitchen, Fashion, Photography and also a great £10 and under section, this vintage shop has a huge selection of delightful pieces at great prices.


Next is Zoe's new shop, Ladybird Likes...

You may recognise this shop from my last Christmas giveaway. I was very excited about Zoe's shop then and now that it's open, I am just as excited about it now.

Like Elizabeth's shop, Zoe's shop combines a lot of my favourite things - cameras, brooches, birds, dogs(!!) and photography. With beautiful necklaces, stationary, photos and postcards and a huge variety of brooches, Ladybird Likes is a fun little shop, perfect for gifts, either for your friends or just for yourself.


Having had a shop once myself, I completely understand the time and effort it takes to put one together and to show your work well. Both Elizabeth and Zoe's shops look wonderful, have amazing pieces and they are both a true testiment to their hard work and skills and
 both are definitely worth a look around, enjoy!

Oh my...

I love the new circle feature on Etsy... it's such an amazing way to find new things and Julochka (who also has a lovely blog) always finds the most amazing things including...

A camera set of japanese masking tape from FabHub!!

Um, wow! I need this in my life... in all the colours. Now.

You can add me to your circle on Etsy here - if you want to of course. I'd love to see what you love on there too.

Update: it sold! but dont panic you can get it on Cute Tape too.

p.s. you'll also see my almost unhealthy love of yellow and cameras in my favourites... my pinterest looks almost exactly the same, eep.

Valentines Day codes and a giveaway winner!

I love my cameras but don't worry I love you guys as well!

(oh and thomas, my friends and family too I guess... they read this... haha)

First up: the winner of the Ande Monster Vintage giveaway is Jihee!

Well done Jihee, I'll contact you asap.

But don't despair if you didn't win - Racheal has offered For the easily distracted... readers 15% off her shop with the code "easy15". I'm not sure I would be able to resist!

And because I love you all too, I'm also offering 20% off my shop with the code "ftedlove20" for this week only!

Happy valentines/ love/ homemade pizza day everyone!

Oh my...

I am completely in love with the gorgeous colours at Much Love Illy at the moment!

Etsy love November: The Dizzy Pixie

I recently joined the Female Photographers of Etsy and somehow I came across this lovely shop and blog of a matching name by the lovely Bria! I instantly fell in love with the colours, the soft tones, the wonderful subject matter and the amazing polaroid prints within this hidden gem of a shop...

I'm always amazed when I come across a shop of this quality and content (same goes for the blog actually, its delightful) and it isn't as busy or popular as you would expect, so I am delighted to feature this shop this month as I think the attention is well deserved and just waiting to be shared!! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Etsy love October: City of Blackbirds!!

I first fell in love with Eadaoin and her photos when I saw her blog City of Blackbirds, I loved the colours, the tone and the content was just perfect. As soon as Eadaoin opened her shop I knew I was going to love everything and I really do!!

Cupcakes, macarons, teacups and heart shaped bokehs! What more could a girl want??(In fact I have the macaroon print in our bedroom as I type, it looks wonderful!)

{Click on the photo above to find these lovely prints and even more...}

I'm 100% sure that you will love Eadaoin's shop as much as I do so please check it out and spread the Etsy love :)

p.s. Do you have an etsy shop? If so, why not send me an email with your link AND a paragraph introducing yourself with an explanation of why I (and my readers) will love your shop... I might even decide to feature you if you're lucky!

It's September!

I don't know about you but I am excited about that!

1. It's my birthday month!
2. August Break is over... *
3. I've been busy planning exciting things over August and now its time to impliment them!

* I enjoyed August Break - but I'm a talker and boy have I missed 'talking' to you guys!

Sponsor Changes!

Some of you may have realised that the sidebar on the right is now titled 'Etsy love'... unfortuntely sponsoring did not take off for me. However I didn't start sponsors for the money... I started it to help advertise etsy shops - so I have taken it upon myself to add some of my favourite shops onto my sidebar free of charge (don't they look pretty) and every month I'm going to feature a favourite of mine in a post.

I am all about the etsy and blog love - so I hope you all are too!

First up is Alyssa's new shop It's Olive!

Some of you may know Alyssa from her blog 'Just putting it out there' or her amazing project 'Project You' (which incidently is having a rather Spectacular September with an amazing giveaway - you should check it out!)

You may not have known that Alyssa is one creative lady and her shop is a collection of her hard work over the past few months. I love her work (I'm particularly fond of bows) and I really think that you will too!

{click on each photo for the listing on etsy and to discover their fun names!}

I hope you enjoy this monthly feature as much as I do and please check out the shops in the sidebar - they are my favourites!

p.s. Do you have an etsy shop? If so, why not send me an email with your link AND a paragraph introducing yourself with an explanation of why I (and my readers) will love your shop... I might even decide to feature you if you're lucky!

Amazing new sponsor love!!

Hurray! I'm back in the world of blogging feeling refreshed, slightly sunburnt (it was sunny!!!) and ready to share our wonderful weekend away.
(I took a rather amazing amount of instax minis, oops!!)

However... before I do that I am more than excited about sharing my latest sponsor with you
