Etsy Bash

Spring isn't gone yet and it was made well known yesterday. All day long, we drove and walked through pouring rain. It did a fine job of refreshing the air with new life.

I think due to that Etsy didn't have as many visitors or perhaps people didn't know as much about it. Whatever it was, far from rain, in the shelter of a basement, inside 1409 South Side Lamar, we entered ambitious artists selling mini magnets, crocheted cup holders, textile flowers, wild jewelery, patterned purses and pillows with attitude.

Only a few artists took my fancy and I sought permission to feature their work. I am going to post generic photographs here for now and will take the time to blog separately about each. This is just a teaser. :)

Is there a name for such style?
I've seen it on old-world parchments, scrolls, pamphlets and hand-written books.

Random Sewing Machine
Okay, here are two things I must have and don't yet:
Vintage Sewing Machine and Typewriter
(No, I do not sew nor would I ever type on a typewriter)

Okay, there's definitely more to come. An elaborate blog on each designer. Remember, this is just a teaser.
