By the way...


I mentioned Tosca Teran and her lovely Toronto studio in my post below. Well, this lovely lady also informed me of this great upcoming event: City of Craft, December 12 & 13, 2009, The Theatre Centre - 1087 Queen Street West, Toronto. I intend to go so, if you are from around here, mark your calendars. Click on the image below to visit their web site:


Support your local artists and buy hand-made goods. Re-cheers!

Just a few of my favourite things

Hello, my name is Marcela and I am an Etsy addict. I have been a member since 2008 and I have splurged and enjoyed every single thing that I have bought from Etsy artisans. In honour of those who have spent hours creating unique and beautiful items, I will feature my ten favourite purchases so far. These items are those that have outlasted wear, that I frequently take off my jewellery rack or take out of my drawers, and that have attracted comments and compliments from strangers any time I wear/use them. I will begin with the number 10 spot:



10! This is a Tibetan Antique Pendant necklace designed by Katja Adams at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5078644 her Etsy store.

I have always loved antiques and this pendant was one of the first things that I bought on Etsy. I wear it often and people always comment on it. Many think it's a hanging antique pocket knife. Invariably, the glances come to my neck. It's classy, it's easy to wear, and it's got an aura of history. Katja knows how to combine colours into timeless designs, just check out her store.

The list shall continue, so stay tuned!
