Etsy Stock Take - Week Twenty-Two - Best of May

Etsy Stock Take - Week Twenty-Two - Sunday Linky Party - Best of May

This week's Etsy Stock Take is all about you! I have chosen my favourite item from your submissions each week in May to feature in today's post. It's a pretty stunning collection, the best yet!

Which item do you like the best?

Etsy sellers, please don't forget to link up as usual below.

Right, let's go!

Week Eighteen:

Week Nineteen:

Week Twenty:

Week Twenty-one:

Shoppers of handmade stuff!

Scroll down for some more beautiful products made by some of my readers. Please visit their shops on Etsy and consider buying something! You'll be glad you did :)

I will list each week's stock take on my Etsy Stock Take page. Please go and have a browse... Also each month I will feature a round up of my favourite items.

Etsy Sellers!

Link up your items to get more exposure for your shop. You might be featured in the next Best of the Month feature :)

You have 2 options:

1. Bloggers:

Write a new post on your blog (telling us about your new items), mention the Etsy Stock Take and link back here so your readers get a chance to find the link up list (or add the button above).

Then link up using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post. Then we can find your blog :)

2. Link up directly to your Etsy shop:
Post a link that goes directly to your new items in Etsy using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post. You can put up as many as you want and we will see your images nice and big :)

It'd be lovely if you took a moment to go and check out some stuff that others post below - go shopping!

It seems that there have been some difficulties with the Linky widget. If you have problems, please let me know and I will give you a hand (my email).

Let's show our support for each other craftwise! I'm hoping that my goal of listing one item a week will be a powerful motivator and a source of exposure for us all.

Ciao!

Katz :)

What I wore... Marmee made.

What I wore last week in the sunny weather - A Marmee made outfit!

Surprised mum? Did you know that I've had this tucked away in my wardrobe all these years?

My mum made this for herself years ago and passed it on to me when I was in my late teens. I used to love wearing the oriental style jacket open over a vest top with jeans when I went partying. The skirt shape never appealed to me, until now. I've matured :)

PS. I love to buy handmade. Do you? If yes, I recommend you go and explore the Etsy Stock Take. It's full of lovely things that some of my blog readers make and sell online.

If you are an Etsy seller check it out too, you can link up your new beautiful creations :)

Featured on Pocket Change!

PocketChange Lifestyle Blog

I've been featured on a lifestyle blog, Pocket Change. They've put Life's Jewels up on their weekly Best of the Web feature!

It's very exciting for me to see that others appreciate what I am doing here. Hurrah :)

Just so you know, I have many new craft projects in the pipeline:

-Everyday and party clutch bags

-Trousers into shorts

-Fascinator hats

-Velvet cushions

I've started on some already and I'm researching how to go about the others. I have arranged links to some great online information under the tab 'What I'm...' at the top of the screen. I recommend you go and have a look if you are thinking of tackling some similar projects.

Meanwhile I'm enjoying shopping for the various bits I need to get cracking!

What are you up to creatively?
