The Game is Afoot

Once again, we're taking a trip around Etsy and visiting some shops that I particularly like.  I'm highlighting one item (always a challenge), and I hope you're intrigued enough to check out the other great listings in that shop.

Flea Fever is located in France, and is run by Myrthe Noordegraaf.  She loves to sell quirky, vintage items and the item I've chosen is certainly that.  It's an adorable, kitschy stuffie and so cute.  Click on the shop name below the picture to visit the listing and read more about it.

Another shop I've found that I like is The Old Block House, run by Gertie Tenilado.  Recently re-established, Gertie likes to sell vintage housewares and refashioned furniture.  There are all kinds of treasures in the shop, including these knobs that I like

My next shop is Paper Wood Vintage which can be found using this link.  Let's just say there's tons of stuff here, almost 600 items.  There's a wide variety of vintage here, and I picked out this French ad as one of my many favorites

Click on the name below the photo to check out this item.  There's so much more stuff to salivate over too.

Our last stop, but certainly not least, is a fancy soap shop run by Silvia in Idaho.  I will be the first to confess that I tend not to buy fancy soaps that are handmade, gourmet in other words.  But I must say that Silvia's soaps may make me change my mind.  Their colors are amazing, some look like bakery treats, and her shop just has a bunch of colorful items that would be great gift ideas for your loved ones and yourself.  Find the shop here at this link.  

One of my favorite soaps is this one which looks just like a piece of cake.

That's it for this week's journey around Etsy.  If you have suggestions for special shops I should check out, please leave a note in the comment
