Photography Friday

12 Mar, 2010 by in etsy 3 comments


Today’s featured photographer is Girl and Typewriter!
“I am a crafter and university student in Richmond, Virginia. I mostly make cards and stationery, decorating them with watercolor illustrations, quilled paper objects or hand embroidery. I also like to find small things on the ground and use them in collages and other creations. I’ve always loved photography, and felt especially inspired to photograph everything and everyone during the six months I lived in Santiago, Chile. I’ve recently rediscovered these negatives and am selling hand-developed photos from my time in Chile, donating the profits to the current earthquake relief efforts there. Please consider supporting this initiative!”

I lived in Chile for 6 months, and all the places I went and all the people I met there are so much a part of who I am now. All of the profits from these prints will go towards a charity fund for the earthquake relief efforts there. They say Chile Relief Print in the title so you know. I have listed six so far, and may post more soon. Prints do not come with frames or mats; they do come packaged with love and care.

This picture measures approximately 5″ by 7″ and was printed on professional Ilford paper. It shows a dog I met one day while exploring the neighborhood of Bellavista, Santiago

Yellow Rose Perfume CHILE Relief Giveaway

10 Mar, 2010 by in etsy 24 comments

Today’s giveaway is from etsy seller and Chile native, L’aromatica! Her hometown, Talca was destroyed by the earthquake and she want to give back to her country…

Loreto is an artisan perfumer and graphic designer. She lives with her husband and teenage son in a sunny flat on Haight Street in San Francisco.

Loreto creates all of L’aromatica’s fragrances from scratch using pure essential oils mixed with a little fragrance oil when necessary, for scents that nature can’t produce. L’aromatica also carries All-Natural perfumes that are made using only 100% pure essential oils diluted in jojoba oil, for those who are sensitive or opposed to the use of synthetics. Even for straightforward, single-floral scents like Honeysuckle, Gardenia or Jasmine, Loreto creates her own blend, based on her perception of the true flower fragrance.

Loreto doesn’t just pour fragrance oils and bottle them as her own. Every perfume she offers is a handmade, original creation. A lot of love is put into every scent, plus hours of attention and patience.

Natural perfumes are much more subtle than mass-produced, “name brand” perfumes but develop amazing qualities, once on the skin. Once applied, a natural perfume will combine with your body chemistry to create a scent unique to you. Natural perfumes contain no harsh chemicals, additives, fillers or fixatives. L’aromatica uses only the best quality essential oils (most are organic) and fragrance oils that do not contain phthalates (whenever possible.)

Hardcover: 208 pages
Publisher: Aladdin; 1 edition (March 9, 2010)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1416990844

My Waiting on Wednesday is actually ME waiting to run out and buy this book that I have been waiting and waiting for because 1) I love Lisa Schroeder’s books and 2) it had a book Birthday just yesterday!!

Product Description
Twelve-year-old Isabel is dying to get out of Oregon. She spends her free time in the library, reading and dreaming about faraway places. When her mom decides to open a cupcake shop in their little town of Willow, Isabel feels just like buttercream frosting to a cupcake stuck.
It seems as if it will be another disappointing summer, until Isabel learns of a baking contest. If she can come up with a winning recipe, she might have a chance of competing in the bake-off in New York City!

But Isabel’s best friend, Sophie, is also entering the contest and things always seem to go Sophie’s way. To make matters worse, Isabel and her mom don’t exactly see eye to eye on the type of recipe Isabel should enter.

In this sweet treat by popular teen author Lisa Schroeder, Isabel discovers that maybe it’s not about where you go in life as much as it is about enjoying the view from wherever you are.

GO GET IT!! In the meantime, enjoy my cupcake items in the Etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/search_results_shop.php?search_query=cupcakes&search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6824796&ref=auto

Today’s Etsy shop giveaway is from Em and Sprout! I adore her Mary Janes shoes and handmade tees.

Hi! I’m Lindsay. I have two cats named Em and Sprout, they are the loves of my life (besides the hub!) so I decided to name this etsy shop after them.

Long story short: I like making stuff. It’s fun and it makes me happy. My current obsession are these fun shoes and I hope you like them as much as I like making them!

Description of the short we are gifting:
This design of two kids playing dress up was inspired by my love of all things Little Red! It would also make a perfect gift for someone who loves fairy tales 🙂 This ladies cut tee has a sweet woodland feel and is grass green with a brown, red & white screenprint (printed by hand, by me!). Printed on American Apparel ladies t-shirts.
