Etsy Finds: Spats!


These spats by Soil, a seller based in Colorado (who apparently has really cute kids who model for her shop), refresh old boots and add some extra flavor to your outfit. Check out the rest of her shop for charming, old-timey feeling children's clothing.

"I made my first pair of spats last winter for my daughter after admiring the cute illustrations in books like Mother Goose," explains Soil.

I just love her shop, in part because it reminds me how Etsy is a great place to find emerging trends. And I don't mean that in a catty, trample-over-you-at-the-store-to-get-that-"it"-thing-first.  I mean that, on Etsy, there's a direct source of raw creativity. It can be flashy or subtle. It's up to you to find something that suits you, but there's a little something for everyone.

Soon, we'll be doing some more posts on kids' apparel and other items, so keep your eyes peeled...

I love Soil! I fell in luuurve with those spats the first time I laid eyes on them (while searching on Etsy for some spats for myself- hint hint to grown-up clothes sellers). Adorable shop!
