Etsy Finds 17 July

Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to our second edition of the new 'Etsy Finds'. We want to showcase more handmade work and promote small artists around the world so we've started a new section on the blog!

We are trying to shake this horrible head cold / flu and are hoping to be at the Tamahere Market this Saturday from 8:30am - 1:00pm outside Cambridge. Our next Auckland market is the General Collective Market on 1 August in Ellerslie.

We also have a special sale currently happening over on the site so make sure to check it out as stock levels are starting to run low!

Have a great weekend and stay warm!

1. Watermelon cutting board from New York
2. Linen Apron from Lithuania
3. Moscow Mule copper mug from Turkey
4. Bear brooch from Colchester, UK 
5. Handpainted horse shoes from Texas

These posts are not promoted, in any way, shape or form. They are simply items we find and like off Etsy and artists we think should receive recognition for their amazing work. Thank you.

Weekly Roundup 14 June

Well Friday is here yet again and June is already halfway gone! This week I've unfortunately had the flu and let me tell you, I wish this upon no one. It has zapped all my energy and landed me straight on the couch. On the upside, I've started watching Boston Legal from season 1 and am thoroughly entertained! With spending so much time at home under blankets I have had some big baking cravings. So this week's roundup is inspired by winter afternoons and the comfort they can bring.

1. Amazing Lemon Blueberry Muffin recipe from Casey Leigh.
2. Beautiful rustic, full kitchen apron handmade in Minnesota.
3. Simply stunning Fantail tea towel available at Father Rabbit, designed by Bayley Collins from Birdinabunnysuit.
4. The new Petite Kitchen Recipe Journal - want.
5. Oversized mugs are the best in winter - perfect for hot coco, soup and massive amounts of coffee.
6. Giving away some baking treats to some lucky friends? Get some fun packaging from Little Ink to make them extra special.

Just as a reminder our upcoming markets are: - Tamaki Drive Mid Winter Christmas Evening Market - 21 June at 6pm - Auckland Art & Craft Market - 29 June from 11am - 3pm Have a great weekend everyone!
