Everyday for the next 2 weeks, I'm going to be posting some neat Etsy finds. This is my own personal gift guide.
Today, I'll start things off with this Large Serving Bowl from Dishfuls of Doodles:
Lately, the weather around here has been crazy. This past weekend it was 90 degrees and incredibly humid...not typical for October in Chicago. Now, here it is Wednesday and only a high in the low 50's. Now that's much more like normal. So...its finally starting to look and feel like fall.
Wind gusts swoosh through and blow up clouds of fallen leaves. So, I thought I'd swoosh through and show off some great leafy items I found on Etsy.

Autumn Oak and Acorn Procelain Ring by Round Rabbit:
And, last but not least, this adorable bag from Homegrown Skinny:
If you find that you're needing an extra large helping of autumn these days, then just hop on over to Etsy and search for leaves. There's definitely plenty to choose from!
In case you hadn't already figured it out, I've been swooning over heavy metal jewelry lately. Today's feature is another fabulous metal jewelry artist.
Yes, definitely something to talk about here! Today's spotlight is:
The Etsy Treasury has become such a hot place to be, that the poor servers can't handle all of the traffic they're getting. So...while the Treasury is down, one of the Etsy Admins is running a bit of an impromptu contest to find a front page treasury. I just so happened to have a treasury planned and was going to try to grab a spot. Here it is:
I was planning on blogging on this theme tonight anyways!!
Wanted to share a few awesome new favorites. I have been on a major metal jewelry kick lately.
Take a few minutes to check out this lovely Blue-Green and Ice Blue Chainmaille bracelet from Avionmaille.
For you copper fans like myself, you'll adore this Copper and Silver Necklace from Accent Yourself.
In addition to making such fabulous pieces, these 3 artists are all relatively new to Etsy. Stroll on over and check out their shops, and be sure to mention that you saw them here.
The EtsyBEAD theme of the week this week is "Dressing up Denim". Some of my fellow street team members have been lucky (patient) enough to snag a few treasuries to show off some of the lovely items that are on sale this week.

And remember...each and every week you can search for the tag "EBTW" to find items for that week's theme.

I am incredibly excited to introduce you to an awesome new Etsy seller. I have to admit, I discovered this shop through the Daily Ditties at Wickedly Chic.
Frozen in Time is a shop full of truly unique pendants. These pendants are photographic images from inside of kaleidescopes, mounted in acrylic pendants. Absolutely stunning!!
The secret's out! I'm a football fanatic, and a big time Indianapolis Colts fan! In celebration of tonight's big season opener game...just a little bit of team spirit.

Today's random Etsy find is a stunning ACEO from Sujati, entitled "Searching for Answers"
If you like this piece, then you're sure to love the rest of Sujati's artwork too. Stop by and browse her shop today!
Family committments have left my poor little blog a little lonely lately. I'm doing my best to keep a steady, but unfortunately slow, flow of new material here for my loyal readers.
So...stop by Leaping Lizards today and check out the rest of the shop! Be sure to mention that you saw them here!!As I mentioned last week...I am featuring another great glass artist this week. This week's featured artist is somewhat new to the Etsy scene. She offers a variety of great glass beads and pendants.
I am not normally a fan of bumpy glass beads, but I really like the way this one was done. The pink bumps blend well with the rest of the colors. They're almost like sprinkles on top of a cupcake.
It probably won't surprise you to hear that I love the bright green and aqua in this pendant bead.
I'm trying to save up to make some major purchases of artisan lampwork beads. As a result, I have been adding TONS of bead artists to my Etsy favorites. Over the next few weeks, I plan to showcase several of those artists.
