Featured Etsy Seller - Dinky Daisy

Today's Featured Seller comes to us from across the pond... Hampshire, U.K. And her work is so adorable, I could not help but feature her shop here.

Her inspiration comes from old country houses, cottage gardens and vintage clothes. She likes working with natural based textiles combining plain with florals and embellishing with buttons, charms and crochet.

And she does do custom orders!

Green patchwork wristlet and coin purse set
My favorite! (I'm a sucker for shades of green.)
A lovely set comprising of a patchwork wristlet with crochet flower and embroidery, matching coin purse and crochet strap which can be used on both items. The wristlet can be used for all handbag essentials including glasses, and has a double layer of sew in interfacing for a nice padded feel. Coin purse fits neatly inside the wristlet and is big enough for cards and cash. This is a very versatile set.

Feature Friday: Three Fish Shop

FEATURE FRIDAY!!!!

Three Fish Shop

Just as adorable as the cutest toddlers and infants I have every seen as models, are the gorgeous handcrafted Beanies, Berets and Hats that Marina makes and sells in her shop "three fish shop" on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7128854)

Made with the finest natural and organic yarn, her creations range from blightly colored to softly sweet, offerings for newborns, boys and girls and even some adult beanies. Oh, and she does wholesale orders as well! Marina's been on Etsy only since March this year and has already made quite the name for herself, along with a rapidly increasing number of sales over the past two months. (Hint... get there while they are hot!!!!)

So, if you have your own toddlers running around this is definitely the shop for you! And even if you don't have children, look here for the perfect gifts for the children or expecting mothers in your life! Heck, the children in the photos are so adorable you may be tempted to have kids!

Here are some of my favorites:

Merino Wool Earflap Hat -

Amethyst and Charcoal Chunky Earflap Beanie with Flower

Treat your baby to a hat made of the finest, softest merino wool this season! This chunky baby hat is crocheted in our original design from luxurious 100% merino wool - no cheap synthetic fillers here! This hat is designed to last a long time: our merino wool is super soft and warm, durable, and can be hand-washed safely. The crocheted earflap beanie design allows the hat to grow with the child, and the plaited accents and double flower are just plain cute!

Pippi Beret in Cotton Candy Pink

Give a unique, adorable gift with this little beret scaled down just for children! The Pippi Beret features 100% natural cotton yarn, crocheted into a raised design on the crown, and features a tighter "weave" than our Popcorn Drawstring Beret. A knit ribbed opening gives the beret more stretch and a unique look. The cotton yarn extends use of this beret from spring through winter.

Earflap Hat - Pastel Rainbow and Browns Multicolor Handyed Cotton Yarn (Photo Prop)

New this season is our multicolor earflap hat for babies and children - what a unique photo prop! We start with a "blank canvas" of yarn and hand-dye it into an array of colors. We then knit the yarn into a chunky knit earflap hat and add long, multicolor plaits to the earflaps for a unique look. Your hat will look similar to the picture, but no two hats are alike! This is a limited edition, so get it while you can! (This baby hat is designed for use as a photo prop only. )

Organic Baby Hat - Chunky Beanie in Posy Pink, Pecan and Almond

The Organic Chunky Beanie baby hat is one of our customer favorites. It is crocheted from soft, fluffy 100% organic cotton in a tri-color design. This is the perfect, simple gift for a baby shower, christening, or birthday because it complements any outfit and is "girly" without being over the top! (Similar version available for the little boys too!)

SO, there will be only one featured seller this week, and will be posted tomorrow. I fell in love with her products after doing just a general Etsy browse and she's agreed to be featured... Stay tuned.
