Fantastic Finds Friday

I've decided I need to dedicate this day to all the wonderful items I find while cruising the pages on Etsy. I used to do this often and always enjoyed finding new favorites or pulling some things from my personal favorites page.

I'm a big believer in sharing the love of all things I love whenever possible. You never know when you'll introduce someone to a new shop they never knew existed, help make a sale, or just make a new friend. I'm happy with any and all interaction that comes from sharing the love.

Here are 5 of my favorites. Click on the links to take you to the item for more information and the shop overview to see what other fantastic items you might find. Have fun!!

Featured Shop - KIBSTER

Vintage modern decor for the home + classic clothing and accessories.

I like Kim Roberts, owner of KIBSTER on Etsy. She says: "I'm drawn to mid-century modern and Scandinavian design, but I don't limit myself to that style. I also love natural materials, studio pottery, and classic clothing & accessories. My shop is basically a collection of the things I love."

This shop is filled with items I love too. Please, spend some time looking at the brilliantly photographed items there and enjoy.

Props for Other Shops

I think it's time to give some Props for Other Shops I use online to share my mosaics and photography.

Today, I want to share Zibbet. This site has a homey feeling and the people are super nice. I've enjoyed opening a shop on this site and getting to know fellow Zibbeters. Head on over there and scroll down to the bottom of the first page to see the latest listings and the Featured Zibbeter.

If you are looking for a new venue to show your artwork, this is the place for you! You can set up a shop for free if you keep your inventory to 50 items. Premium pricing is also available and is what I hope to some day have. I haven't gotten a sale on Zibbet yet but in all fairness, I don't promote it as much as I do Etsy. I do love it over there and enjoy finding new people to chat with. The best way I found to do that was to join the Community Hub. In the forums especially, there are great ways to join in and learn how Zibbet works and meet new people/shops too.

There's so much talent in the world! And a lot of it is on Zibbet.

I share my mosaics in a shop there, EarthMotherMosaics and I have a Vintage shop, called GentlyLovedTreasures which only has a few items in it so far but is up and running. Check it out! I'm slowly weeding through photos to get more items listed but it is taking me a lot of time to get just the right photos. Because I'm always looking for the best photos possible, it takes a while to find them! I love the way it's heading, however. It's a cozy little shop, like the one you find by accident when you're walking around a town you've only visited a few times. This shop is a joint effort by my Dad and myself. You can read all about it when you head on over to take a look.

As Natalie says herself: "I adore using corduroy, upcycled fabric, vintage fabric, and other unique textiles to create handmade bohemian bags." Her handmade bags are so cool; one can be seen at the very top of this post. Love, love, love the lotus design!!

****ANNOUNCEMENT****

Do you have a shop on Etsy or Zibbet? Would you like to have a featured blog post sharing your art or vintage items?

Once a week, every Wednesday or Thursday (depending on holiday weeks) starting in October 2013 and running through the end of January 2014 (if I can find enough interest) I will write a review of your shop and its items.

This is a busy time of year for shoppers; take advantage of the extra exposure with a featured blog post.

Take a look at this blog post from December 2012 to get an idea as to how your shop could be featured:
http://artbyearthmothermosaics.blogspot.com/2012/12/featured-shop-natural-selection-studio.html

Provide your shop's link below in the comments.

I am looking for specific shops that have good quality photos of their items. No fuzzy photos will be featured. I'm looking for#Handmade items such as #woodworking, #pottery and #jewelryand #Vintage items that gear towards #midcentury #modern and#retro designs but will not rule out any even if they don't fit into these categories until I've had a chance to look at the link you provide below.

This is a great opportunity to get seen by new folks. If chosen, your items will be shared on Pinterest, Wanelo, Google+, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. I'll send you a link to the written blog once it's been posted. I share my blog on many of the sites mentioned as well. More exposure equals more sales!

If you have a shop or know of an artist that fits into this request but has a website only, share the link below!

Once I've looked over the shop and items, I'll be in touch!

Questions? Send me a message here or email me at: cw.earthmothermosaics@gmail.com any time!

Thank you!
