Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have had an amazing week! Today I would like to share one of my favorite Etsy Vintage shops with you all, Sushipot Vintage. This shop is so wickedly quirky with items ranging from old rubber bouncy balls and wooden robots to antique glass slides and anatomy book ephemera. Suzanna Scott, the curator and owner behind the shop, is not only a great collector, but also an artist herself. She creates the coolest mixed media vintagesque art, which she sells in her other etsy shop Sushipot Studio Here. I hope to share more of her shop with you all sometime soon. Until then, here are some of my favorite items from Suzanna’s vintage shop:

Aren’t they all just so cool! Of course I love them all! Everything is so well photographed, the whole store is like eye candy. To see more of Sushipot Vintage check out the Etsy store Here. Also be sure to check out Suzanna’s original art at Sushipot Studio Here. You can also find her on her blog Here, as well as Twitter, Instagram, and Flickr. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Hello everyone! I know I usually post my Etsy artists posts on Fridays. Due to problems with my internet yesterday, I had to postpone my post until today. So without further adieu, I want to introduce you to one of my favorite Etsy shops, Trotting Jack Press. This fantastic shop from the U.K. features the sweetest hand carved linocut prints, painted jewelry, and sewn gifts! Sweet little Jack Russel dogs are joined by adorable farm animals, and woodland creatures such as bears and foxes. Each animal has a softness and sweet air about them! The images in the necklaces are hand painted so each necklace is an original piece of art. I also love the stitched gifts like the sewn ornaments, and the little puppy wall hangings that are paired with lovely vintage fabrics! I just adore everything in Trotting Jack Press’ Etsy shop! Here are a few of my favorites:

Happy Friday everyone! As many of you know, Etsy is home to some of the coolest artists around the world! One of my new favorite shops, Dancing Seeds Mobiles, comes to us from across the sea in Israel. Noa Sadeh is the fantastic artist behind the shop.

Each mobile is one of a kind and you can even get a custom mobile made for your home. I am just fascinated by each one, and how Noa can take a little collection of natures fallen elements and with a little string turn them into the most adorably sweet characters. I just adore them! Here are some of my favorites:
