Etsy Finds Decor: Cottage Renovation

This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the renovation of a 1924 bungalow by Portland, Oregon residents Jessica and Erik. The couple purchased their first home in February of this year and have already completed an impressive extent of remodeling.

I love the way the architectural details of the home mix with their vintage furniture and charming thrift shop and estate sale finds. For more information about Jessica and Erik's home renovation and where they get their inspiration, visit their blog, Domestic PDX.

Visit Jessica on Flickr to view more photos of her charming home. Check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas that will add a bit of cottage charm to the place you call home.

Artist Spotlight... NOODLE & LOU ❤

Update...
The winner of the Lulette Heart Ring and Print of her choice from Noodle & Lou is ANDREA. ...Congratulations!

❤ ❤ ❤

Jenn of Noodle and Lou is a self taught illustrator and artist who creates whimsical little works of art to delight and inspire. Her original paintings on canvas, collage, archival art prints are such fun and definitely elicit a smile from anyone who sees them. She also has an newer addition to her work... "The Lulettes"…a collection of little polymer clay dolls, busts and quirky houses. You'll definitely want to check them out and add several pieces to your wunderland collections.

"I am a self taught artist following my dream of working for myself and selling my art. My art is meant to make you smile and bring some FUN into your home. "

Jenn has been successful at making her career as an artist and now lives very happily in the Chicago area with her husband, a cat named Mazzy and two adorable boys, who inspired her business name of Noodle and Lou...it comes from the nicknames she gave them when they were babies. Cuteness!

Spotlight...Noodle & Lou

❤ Tell us a bit about yourself…

Hi everyone! I'm Jenn and I live in the Chicago area with my husband and 2 sons. I'm really a Florida girl though...born and raised there and truly missing the beach right about now! I am sort of known for my love of polka dots but am equally obsessed with all things vintage. I can usually be found in a black shirt or dress paired with blue jeans, running around after my 2 boys or working late into the night in my studio. I am a self taught artist following my dream of working for myself and selling my art. My business is named after the nicknames I had for my sons at birth. mr. noodle and little lou!

❤ What inspires you? Where do your ideas come from?
Old books inspire me a lot. Sometimes I will search through a vintage book until a random, funny or sweet sentence pops out at me...and that can inspire a whole painting or sculpture…and my ideas? my mind really never stops churning! I keep a pad of paper by my bed to capture all my "middle of

the night" ideas. The trouble is time! There is NEVER enough time to do everything I want to do:) My best ideas come from me just playing around with the clay or paint. I very rarely sketch a painting before I start. I just go for it and let the paints and textures guide me.

❤ Apart from creating things, what do you do for fun?
well...I have 2 boys, ages 8 and 4, so there is always some sort of crazy fun going on in my house! On the rare occasion that I am alone (really rare), I love to shop. Especially at junk or vintage shops. I really love interior decorating... I'm always moving something around or making some area of my home new again:) I also enjoy reading and looking through my stacks and stacks of old magazines.

❤ Do you work at your art/craft full time or do you have another job?
This is my full time job (that I share with being a Mom of course) and it has been for the past 4 years. yahooo!

❤ What has been your most memorable moment selling your art?
My first sale was pretty memorable:) I dreamed of starting my business for many years and couldn't believe it was actually happening! My favorite memories are of the times my oldest son, Jake, would sit and paint with me. My kids have always been a huge part of my business:)


❤ What are your current obsessions/interests?
Polymer clay, birds, houses, Anthropologie, Etsy, anything with numbers on it, polka dots, cute shoes, beating my husband at Wii tennis...

❤ Any advice for fellow artists...
Be true to yourself...follow your own voice and your art will shine:)

❤ If you could be any character, who would it be and why?
Superheroine... Wonder Woman of course! I grew up in the 70's...she rocked. Need I say more;)

❤ Do you think you lived in a past life? If so, where & when?
hmmmm...I'm pretty sure this is it.

❤ Tell us your future plans for your business...
My plan is to just keep trying new things... keeping it fresh for my sweet customers/friends. I belong to a lovely and talented group of artists at SpookyTimeJingles.com where we create Halloween and Christmas goodies each month of the year. I'm working on a blurb book and I'd love to expand with licensing in the future! (or maybe I could just clone myself? either one)

❤ Anything else you'd like to add about yourself or your work, etc….
I'd really just like to thank my loyal followers and friends. I wish I could think of new and exciting

ways to say it...but I appreciate you all so much. Thank you, TRULY, for helping me to live my dream! xoxo


❤ Who are your favourite Etsy sellers?
Wow...there are so many etsy sellers that I adore! I'll say the first person that popped into my head...MorningLori. I LOVE her wonderful sculptures and softies. Not only is she super talented... she is a tremendously adorable person too! Take a peek at all my etsy faves though as there are so many wonderful shops and friends!!

❤ ❤ ❤

"I love seeing how something I have in mind actually turned out when it is finished." - Tizz

Cuteness abounds in this week's feature on Tizzalicious!

Maartje, or "Tizz" has been making us smile with all of her sweet and quirky things for quite some time now.

Tizz has always loved making jewelry, sewing and other crafts. Her mum taught her to sew when she was very little and she has been making jewelry foreverlong as well...all the way back to when she made earrings out of water ballons when she was little {without water, of course}.

She turned her interests into a business about 4 years ago and has been crafting super "kawaii" and colourful goodies in different styles like kawaii, kitsch, retro & rockabilly ever since.

Spotlight...Tizzalicious

❤ Tell us a bit about yourself...

I'm Maartje, but I usually go by my nickname Tizz. I'm a 26 year old crafty girl from The Netherlands. I sell handmade jewelry, accessories, plush & softies, art and more in different styles, like kawaii, kitsch, retro & rockabilly. I love anything cute and colorful!

❤ What inspires you?
Anything cute and things from the past. I love all things retro and vintage, and I think that shows in my designs. I love anything from the 50s and 60s, so I could say that has an influence on my work. Aside from that, Anything! When I see something in a shop, I automatically wonder if I could turn it into something nice. Being on Etsy also inspired me to try out more different crafts.

❤ Apart from creating things, what do you do for fun?
I love shopping, watching movies & Star Trek with the boyfriend, going to concert, photography, my Blythe dolls, drinking hot chocolate, traveling, blogging, messing around online (I'm a member of way too many forums and social networks!), and I am the team leader of the Crafting in Color Etsy Team (http://craftingincolorteam.blogspot.com).

❤ Do you work at your art/craft full time or do you have another job?
I don't have a full time job, but I am on disability because I get a lot of migraines. I am trying hard to make enough money with my shop so that I will be able to provide for myself, I don't like having to depend on disability, and a "normal" job is out of the question for now. I'm not there yet, but things are going better than I anticipated when I opened my shop a year ago :)

❤ What has been your most memorable moment selling your art?
I loved it when I sold a cute plusie to someone in Japan. They can find cuteness everywhere there, and still she decided to buy something in my shop, on the other side of the world! I thought it was a huge compliment.

❤ What are your current obsessions/interests?

I am obsessed with Blythe dolls, I currently have 3, I promised myself I'll stick to these 3, but then again, I promised myself to stick to 1 when I bought my first one too...

❤ Any advice for fellow artists...
This is not going to be very original, but: Stick to making things you love! We all love to make money with our craft, but don't end up making things you don't like yourself just because they are popular. You need to have fun!

❤ If you could be any character, who would it be and why?
Hmmm, that's a hard one. Maybe superman. His clumsy act when he is a real person is about what I'm like in real life, so at least I would have that part covered!

❤ Do you think you lived in a past life? ...If so, where and when?
If I did, it was in the 50s!

❤ Tell us any future plans you have for your business...
I'm hoping my shop will continue to grow, so I will be able to pay the pills without being on disability. Aside from that, I will just keep on creating the things I love, and hoping others will love them too!

❤ Anything else you'd like to add about yourself, your work, etc...
I really don't know. I'm not good at answering questions. :P

❤ Any favourite Etsy sellers you'd like to mention?
I love The Tiny Fig.

Artist Spotlight... ELSITA ❤

The winner of the paper cut print by Elsita is BRENDA. Congratulations!

“Anytime I try something new in my art, I get to know a part of me that it is less obvious." - Elsa Mora

Born and raised in Cuba where she graduated from art school, multimedia artist Elsa Mora {Elsita}, learned the most important things she now knows from her mother.

"She always told us that the number one thing that anybody needs is education. The second thing is to find out as soon as possible what you are good at. And the third thing is to make your dreams come true, not by a miracle or good luck but by hard work and discipline."

Heeding her mother's wise advice, Elsita developed a very successful career as an artist and now lives very happily in Los Angeles with her creative husband Bill {a Hollywood film producer} and their three children.
How Elsita finds time in her busy life to create such beautiful works of art is a mystery to us all, but she manages to create many wonderful things and take care of her Etsy store where she sells super sweet illustration art prints, adorable toys, jewelry, sculpture, the most delicious paper cuts and other handmade gorgeousness.

Spotlight... Elsita ❤

✿ Tell us about You...
My name is Elsa Mora and my nickname is Elsita. I was born and raised in the island of Cuba and I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband Bill and our three children. I am always busy like everybody else and a fun fact about myself (not so fun sometimes) is that I am the worst person on planet Earth finding directions. I remember that during the first week, after I bough my first tiny house in Camaguey, a province of Cuba, I had to go out with the address written on a little paper so on my way back home I could ask people how to get to my own house.

✿ What inspires you?
Anything interesting inspires me, specially things that are new to me, or things that I have never heard about. My ideas come from some little corner of my brain where there is always a busy mini-me dreaming about the next thing that I would like to make or do. The other me, the taller one (still short, I am 5.2) is always taking care of all the practical things.

✿ Apart from creating things, what do you do for fun?
Honestly, the most fun thing that I have been doing lately is something like this: I close my eyes and dream about being less busy. It makes me smile, and then I go back to normal.


✿ Do you work at your art/craft full time or do you have another job?
I currently have three jobs, one keeping my Etsy store and having galleries shows, second: full-time Mom and third family therapist. Not the kind of therapist with an office but the one that gets lots of phone calls from relatives asking for emotional support.

✿ What has been your most memorable moment selling your art?
Once when I got commissioned for creating an artwork for some European President. When I got the check I didn't want to cash it because I wanted to frame it, but I ended up cashing it because I needed to buy some groceries, I was then living in Havana.

✿ What are your current obsessions?
Trying not to obsess about anything :)




✿ Any advice for fellow artists...
Don't listen to any advice because that will distract you, just listen more to your inner voice. I think that if you deeply love what you do and if you're willing to share it with everyone out there, then whatever you give is going to come back to you in the form of little hearts.

✿ If you could be any character, who would it be and why?
I would like to be a Moto-Moto fairy, I don't know what that is by my daughter drew one the other day and I really liked it.

✿ Do you think you lived in a past life? If so, where & when?
I would need to ask my friend Tam, she is a palm reader in her spare time.

✿ What are your future business plans?
My plans are to keep going doing everything with lots of heart.

✿ Anything else you'd like to add about yourself or your work, etc….
That it makes me happy when my work makes other people happy :)

✿ Anyone you'd like to mention as a favourite Etsy seller?
My friend Margie, she is terrific. I am going to meet her in person in May. I will fly to Canada in order to meet with her. Yay!!! Her Etsy store is called knitalatte. Behind this store there is an extraordinary woman...I have seen her imagination and creativity explode thanks to the energy that she has gotten from the Etsy community. This energy is all over the Internet, making all of the creative people a strong and important force.

This week's delicious give-a-way is an 8.5"x 11" black and white print of an original paper cut done by Elsita entitled "Secret Anatomy of a Young Girl".

Artist Spotlight... Buster and Boo ❤

Update: The winner of the Buster and Boo earring give-a-way is OLIVE STREET STUDIO ...Congratulations! Be sure to enter this week's give-a-way from Elsita!

xxx

❤ ❤ ❤

Inspired by nature, the world around her, antiques and more, Sara Sacks, the self-taught designer and owner of Buster and Boo creates beautiful earrings, necklaces and Scrabble tile pendants that reflect her loves.

Busy with both her Buster and Boo Etsy shop as well as her sister shop, Woolies, which is full of adorable handmade dolls & toys, it’s surprising that she finds time for family, but she has managed to do it all.

And, in case you might have wondered…the name Buster and Boo originated with two of her four dogs, which usually lay by Sara most of the time when she works.


“I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the thrill I feel when somebody appreciates what I’ve made - enough to buy it! Oftentimes though, I become attached to an item, and then it’s hard to part with it!"

Spotlight...Buster and Boo

✿ Tell us a bit about You…
Sara Sacks, Tucson Arizona. We live on a little ranch with 9 animals - 2 horses, 4 dogs, 3 cats OH and 2 teenage boys. But I'm afraid I still have my terrible Philadelphia accent. :0)

✿ What inspires you?
There is nothing like walking into a fabric store or a yarn shop and seeing all the colors and patterns. Then feeling it - I'm addicted to color and texture. But probably most of my inspiration comes from animals-nature.

✿ Apart from creating things, what do you do for fun?
Horseback ride, hang out with my family, play with my dogs. Read - I used to read all the time. I miss reading. It's hard to read when you're knitting or making jewelry.

✿ Do you work at your art/craft full time or do you have another job?
I work full time, but the most wonderful thing about my 'day-job', is that my home is my office. I have to travel sometimes (ugh), but other than that I have a dream job. However, if I could only be 'discovered' on Etsy, then I just might quit my day job........dreaming......

✿ What has been your most memorable moment selling your art?
Every sale is exciting. It's an affirmation. I also love doing craft fairs ~ I love face to face interaction. The internet is awesome, but I love meeting and talking with people.

✿ What are your current obsessions?
Organic fibers and fabrics. Vintage beads. Sterling silver charms. Every day it's something new......

✿ Any advice for fellow artists...
Promote, promote, promote. You cannot make sales if nobody knows about you.

✿ If you could be any character who would it be and why?
I like being myself.....but as a kid I always pictured myself as a horse. I was also born in the Chinese year of the horse.

✿ Do you think you lived in a past life? If so, where & when?
Yes. I think I'm an old soul. But no idea when or where...except I'm pretty sure it was near the ocean.

✿ Tell us your future plans for your business...
More consignment and hopefully more wholesale.



✿ Anyone you'd like to mention as a fave Etsy seller?
German Dolls, Mod Moxie or The Fairies Nest. Oooh, my list could go on and on!
