Soft Mittens

Handmade soft mittens in all different colors, patterns and textures... take your pick!

Monday Inspiration and Hello Etsy

"Courage is about listening to your heart." Etsy's CEO Chad Dickerson
If you tuned into Hello Etsy this weekend, you were in for a real treat! So many creative thinkers sharing their ideas. Check out thinglink for a new way to bring your photos to life with notes, and even sound. I enjoyed listening to Ulla Engestrom, a Finnish social media entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of thinglink. Also, listening to Farai Chideya speak about "telling your story" was incredible. Farai is the Vice President of Voice at Etsy and I was moved and inspired by her talk.

Best of the Week on BB&B

Do you ever feel that your life has been turned upside-down? My head is always spinning with new ideas, but never has it been in overdrive as it is now! With the smART business ebook in progress, and house commissions piling up for the holidays, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed... whew! Don't get me wrong though, I am driven by the pressure and it actually feeds my passion for what I do even more.

Artist Spotlight: Ceramics by Mary B

I admire ceramic artists for their talent, creativity and wonderful imagination. Mary B's shop on Etsy, Distinctive Ceramic Works of Art, is full of trays, vases , plates and bowls, and even colorful wall hangings. Most of her pieces are hand built of stoneware and are formed and glazed with great care.
Centerpiece Tray With Earth Tone Agate Slice
Mary says, "When I am building the pieces I 'get lost' in the process of creation and when I open the kiln to find a piece that has turned out "just right" it is pure joy."
Ceramic Art
This earth tone vase with a stunning agate slice is truly one of a kind!
