All Things Crafty

I love crafty things. Things I can make. Things other people make. I love anything handmade with leather or deerskin. If I had the money I would have several bags and coats that are hand stitched.

While recently browsing etsy.com I came across this lovely here. I was looking for sweet things to decorate my little one's room with. I am seriously contemplating buy it. But since we JUST had a bit of an earthquake yesterday I'm not so sure I want something hanging over my baby's crib. It's so beautiful don't you think? The crystals, the spirals, and the butterfly. (sigh) So whimsical and fairy like.

And I also wanted to share these beautifully crafted things as well:

Deerskin pouches found here. I couldn't pick a favorite but I have plans to have one of these beauties soon.

These lovely handmade bags found here. I think they are so catchy. I love the bird motif but I REALLY love the wooden button. In fact I love several bags and am still trying to narrow down which one I want. (If you find one you want please clear it through me first as I might want to snag it before you ;) )

Leaf jewelry is a weakness for me. I found this lovely necklace here. She uses REAL leaves to make her jewelry. I find them incredible! I also like this and this from her shop.

Now I'm not being paid to promote these. I just wanted to share what I love finding as crafty things. When I have my own house it would be designed in fall foliage and colors. I can just see it. Deep reds, oranges, and vibrant yellows. Leaves in all their array from wooden, to metal, to the real deal. When you come to my home (when I get to decorate it) it will have the feeling of being in the woods during the fall. My favorite place and season to be. And if you look hard enough you might find an animal or two starring back at you through all that wonderful essence. ;)


What are your favorite crafty things and style?

Etsy is SO addicting!!! I have to limit myself to how much I can look at so I won't go broke. :)
