Etsy Shop and Blog Hop - Post Your Shop Here!

I found this great little idea at the Etsy blog HOST (Helping Others Street Team):

Looking for a little bit more exposure for your Etsy Shop and Blog?

Why not join our Etsy Shop Hop?  Here is how to participate.

1. Add your shop Avatar to the list below and use your etsy shop URL for it..
2. In a blog post on your blog, link to your favourite items from the two shops ahead of you on the list.
3. Add the Shop Hop code to your blog with these same instructions on how to participate.
4. Post your blog URL below in the comments.

So - when this is done, not only do you get at least two new links to your items from another blog which helps you be found, but you also might get more followers to your blogs and visits to your shops.

My favorite items from the two shops ahead of me were these:

From SlenderGrasshopper:

From DareDream:

More fabulous items discovered while window shopping!

These beauties remind me of those spin doodle things... anyone know what I'm talking about?

Big soft flower bracelet with a button center.  What's not to love?

The beads on this cuff bracelet are wrapped with recycled beer labels!  Come on, that's cool.

I don't use bar soap, but after seeing this sugar cookie soap, I might have to change my ways :)

Miss last month's Etsy post?  Here it is!

Got a Mom? Get Her a Super Gift for Mother's Day

If your mom is like mine, she will insist that she doesn't want anything for Mother's Day... all the more reason to get her something awesome.  You've got a couple of weeks to fret over what to buy, eventually panicking the night before and picking out some silly thing at the Hallmark shop, OR you can browse my lovely selections below and get your shopping done early.

Vintage Sky Blue Beads from BlackStarBeads

Orange Floral Sleep Mask from BiBon

Printed Porcelain Town Bowl from zmedceramics

I Heart Mom from RiverCityArtworks

You are my Sunshine from Raw Art Letterpress

Want more than a hat, but hate ski masks?  This snuggly hood is your answer.

Do I really need to say anything?  This print totally rocks.

Tattoos Inspired by Famous Artworks

I really like tattoos.  I especially like tattoos that take after artworks (says the art history geek).  I tried to gather up a few that weren't quite as typical, like Van Gogh or Da Vinci.  Check 'em out!

Girl Before a Mirror by Pablo Picasso

The Lovers by Rene Magritte

Banana by Andy Warhol

T

The Elephants by Salvador Dali

Byzantine Blonde by Alphonse Mucha

(Psst... that's me!)

Do you have a neat-o tattoo?  Send me a picture at sarahnorman1984@yahoo.com and you may see it pop up in another blog post about tattoos :)
