Fuzzy Bunny Knits, Yes She Does!

Have you had a chance to visit FuzzyBunnyKnits.etsy.com, bringing sassy, happenin' knits to you from Portland, Maine??

Whether you're a knitter or knitwear connoisseur, you're sure to find something irresistible, such as a pattern to make this fantastic bag shown below:

She even hosts a weekly "knitaholics" meeting with 87 members! To add to her coolness, she's included my Deep Night Indigo Blue Purple Black Handknit Incredible Ribbon Scarf (below) in her treasury of deep blue items for sale on Etsy--get a peek through Wednesday at http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=35531 or check out her blog at http://fuzzybunnyknits.blogspot.com

The Hottest Librarian...Ever!

Moxiedoll at Moxiedoll.etsy.com is the most stylish, trendy, hip, happenin' librarian around! Case in point, I absolutely adore her "Reading is a Hoot" collage print, shown below.

Here's what she has to say in her profile, "I like breathing new life into others' discarded books by cutting them apart and pasting them together in creative ways. It's my means of storytelling." And how! :)

I had a happy surprise today when I was trolling through Etsy's treasuries (collections of handmade goods for sale) today and found that Moxiedoll had included my Purple Golden Yellow Pink Luxury Handknit Scarf in her treasury! Hurry and view her striking collection, it's available for one more day at http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=35123.
Thanks a bunch, you've sure got some Moxie!

When you admire someone...

I admire LAOriginals.etsy.com so much! Her work is stellar and her profile starts out, "Hello, my name is Leigh-Anne (L.A.) and I'm a Knit-a-Holic!!" What's not to love!? And talk about creative! Check out her fantastic design work in her Seventies Revisited Harlequin Scarf, below:

You've got to go to http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9593183 to get the full effect, but this is actually 5 scarves, held together with a detachable flower. You can mix and match!
So, anyway, yeah, I've been admiring Leigh-Anne's work and then today I'm trolling through the treasuries and see that she's featured my Purple Golden Yellow Pink Luxury Handknit Scarf (shown below) in her beautiful collection of items that contain orange!

Thank you so much, Leigh-Anne, from a true admirer!

Vegan Etsy's Fearless Leader Roots for the Team!

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one: there are plenty of other folks who have a shop on Etsy who are vegan and only sell vegan products. We recently formed a team to celebrate Vegan Etsy and help fellow vegans support vegan business. You can find out more at http://veganetsy.blogspot.com and http://www.myspace.com/veganetsy

One of the ways that we promote one another is by curating "treasuries" of items offered for sale on Etsy by fellow Vegan Etsy members. Our leader, Molly, who makes mouth-watering (and I'm a HUMAN!) dog treats and sells them at EmmasK9kitchen.etsy.com, just created a new treasury for Vegan Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=34208. Molly, many thanks for featuring my Oranges n Browns Classy Handknit Scarf front and center!

Folks, you've got to check out her cool shop because them treats look so good, I wanna order some to eat myself, especially the Mint Carob Glazed Treats in the picture above. MMMMMmmmm......

Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Vaivanat, your taste & kindness are stunning!

vaivanant.etsy.com is one of the most tasteful and gorgeous shops on Etsy.com! I just got an unexpected note from a friend on Etsy letting me know that the gorgeous collection of orange, handmade items vaivanat pulled together at http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=33697 has made the front page of Etsy.com! It will be there for a few hours and the best part is, she chose my Orange to Red Unisex Handknit Scarf for Men or Women as one of the twelve images (see picture below).

I'm so happy, first I hadn't been on the front page EVER and now twice in a week!!
Thrilled,
Celeste (Crickets)
