Involution (aka... I have GOT to have these earrings)

Look at these...


I am so in love with these felted earrings by Involution on Etsy. I first came across Involution in a chat room, and am happy to say that not only does she make beautiful stuff, but she is super nice too! These particular earrings are called "All the Tea in China" (Love Love LOVE the title.. makes me think maybe I should rethink my naming style??) and they are made using sterling silver and wool.

Anyone want to get me a super early birthday present?.... Anyone?

Five and Under Feature

I am super excited to debut a new weekly item here at eschechtman.blogspot.com - Weekly posts that star new Etsy sellers that have had five or less sales.


To kick things off, I would love to introduce you to FlyCatcher Studio.

Flycatcher studio, which is based in Chicago, sells beautiful screen printed coasters. This shop opened only a few weeks ago and has yet to make a sale. I am sure that it won't be much longer though :)

Flycatcher studio may just be getting started and not have many items in the shop yet, but all of them feature well crafted and tailored designs, beautiful photography, and a great sense of color. Each 4x4 coaster is silk screened by hand with the artist's Gocco.



Isn't this calendar so beautiful?? I love the mustaches... it wouldn't be the same without them! According to the artist, "The 'bugman' series came out of a collection of doodles inspired by a distinguished moustache and how it can change the face. You may recognize some of these faces as world leaders and men that changed history, all while sporting their own style of moustache." - Neat! Like the rest of the items in the shop, this piece of artwork doubles as a coaster, though I don't think that I would ever use it as one. Regardless, I can only imagine that these would make a great host or hostess gift!



As of now, there are only coasters in the shop, but I hope that Flycatcher will expand to include cards and prints in the near future.


How can you not love them?
Please go and see this shop for your self, and give Flycatcher Studio the welcome that she deserves!
