Fresh Shops: badhairmountain
Sometimes I find art on Etsy that really speaks to me, in some language or another. It's possible Sean from badhairmountain, a Fresh Shop started in August 2008, found all my metalhead friends and drew their portraits. There's also the possibility that he just lives in the coolest town ever where all the …
Fresh Shops: LuckyJackson
"I like the idea of working really hard at being happy and I think that you should surround yourself with things that reflect this, including art. I like making art that is fun, that you get a chuckle out of when you see it, a bit of nostalgia that everyone gets. I hope that my fellow Estians find that in my work!" — …
Fresh Shops: BoonesHooks
BoonesHooks' amazing hooks caught my eye a few weeks ago as I was browsing for items to spruce up my space. With a perfect combination of function and style, with an extra eco factor, all of Smyth Boone's elegant designs are forged from recycled steel. Taking a look around the shop, I found an interesting …
Fresh Shops: Fine Craftsmanship from wookwoodworking
Have you ever looked at the Showcase and been totally captivated by an item? I recently found a Fresh Shop called wookwoodworking, a relatively new shop that opened in May, by clicking on this table. Gorgeous!The craftsmanship caught my eye and took my breath away, so I contacted the shop, and it turns out …
Fresh Shops: Ruth Marks
My pal Michael Troutman from the band Awesome Color has heard a lot about Etsy (mostly because I've been touting its praises to everyone I know). Michael in turn mentioned all the wonderful things he heard to his friend — artist and sculptor Ruth Marks — and encouraged her to open a shop. Ruth knew about Etsy, but …
Fresh Shops: LullabyLily
Knit creatures make me happy. Lullabylily is a new little shop full of happiness: white winged horses, pink pigs and slugs — oh my! What do we have here? A brand new Etsy fiber artist after my own 12-year-old girl heart! (Yes, my heart stopped evolving at 12. I still really love ponies and sparkles.) I asked …
Fresh Shops: Aula46
What can I say, I'm a sucker for electronic geekery. I'm also a sucker for Pounce, which is how I discovered today's Fresh Shop. First of all, the moment I see resistors in a listing image, the seller becomes a contender. Perhaps it's a weakness of mine, but I like to think of the ability to spot dorktacular oddities as …
Etsy Finds: Best "Undiscovered" Finds
Happy Monday! For today's Etsy Finds (and to start your week off right), I've collected some of the most interesting and exciting things I found while browsing Etsy's Pounce Undiscovered. As always, I was shocked that these wonderful shops were still waiting on their first sale! Now you, dear reader, can be the …
Fresh Shops: greyandstory
I'm always looking for new and interesting jewelry on Etsy. I recently Pounced upon greyandstory, a metalsmithing duo that produces really cute necklaces and earrings. (Silver Tattoo, seen above, is my favorite. Well, that or the Brooklyn Bridge. It's so hard to decide!) Here's a little interview we did with this …
