 Madison Etsy explorations: The Fairy GardenMegan Larson on Wednesday 11/04/2009 12:00 pm, (2) RecommendationsHalloween may have come and gone but that doesn't mean the little ones have to stop playing dress up. Playing princess has never been easier or more adorable than with a tutu from The Fairy Garden. With only a little tulle and a little sparkle, shop owner Heidi Duss has created an invitation to the magical world of make-believe for your child. >More  Madison Etsy explorations: A Handmade PortlandShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 10/07/2009 12:00 pm, (2) RecommendationsI have a fairly large jewelry collection; consequently if I am going to expand my collection the piece needs to be unusual. Ordinary just won't do. Classic hoops are not going to excite me, neither are plain gold studs. Luckily, Etsy is ripe with unique shops and A Handmade Portland is no exception. >More W Cupcake: Handmade and remadeUp-cycled craftery showcases one-of-a-kind itemsLinda Falkenstein on Friday 09/25/2009Given the popularity of cupcakes these days, it's understandable that the not-paying-close-attention community might come to the conclusion that W Cupcake is another one of those east-side cupcakeries. It is not. >More Madison Etsy explorations: Kristy Sly GlassShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 09/02/2009 12:30 pm, (8) RecommendationsI adored the Murano glass wine stopper my husband and I picked up in Venice, and have kicked myself since for giving it away as a gift. Stumbling on the wine stoppers at Kristy Sly Glass was like returning to the winding Venetian alleys. >More Madison Etsy explorations: PrettificationsShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 08/12/2009 1:00 pm, (3) RecommendationsVintage pieces add a certain je ne sais quoi quality to an outfit, a character that is hard to replicate but easy to love. One may spend hours combing antique stores and flea markets for the perfect original piece, the time you spend adding more history and memories for what will soon become a treasure. >More Madison Etsy explorations: Late summer sales in lean timesMegan Larson on Wednesday 07/29/2009 12:00 pm, (3) RecommendationsIn a troubled economy, it is handy to have your eye out for a good deal. As any recessionista would say, looking fabulous for less isn't hard as long as you know where to look. And lucky for you, I've got my finger on the Etsy pulse. >More Madison Etsy explorations: HRS DesignsShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 07/15/2009 1:00 pm, (6) RecommendationsBold jewelry choices do not necessarily mean wearing a very complex and intricate piece. Sometimes simple lines can make the biggest statement. The jewelry of HRS Designs reflects this sentiment with pieces that convey a modern simplicity, allowing the stone or bead to do much of the talking. >More Madison Etsy explorations: Annabel's ApronsShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 07/01/2009 2:00 pm, (13) RecommendationsI am not a chef; in fact I can't even say I cook. I have been known to reheat food from time to time and I make a mean cheese and crackers. That being said, I may enroll in a cooking class just to rationalize wearing one of the fabulous creations by Annabel's Aprons. >More Madison Etsy explorations: Red OtterShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 06/17/2009 2:00 pm, (11) RecommendationsTo do lists are a daily part of my life. I have them scrambled on tiny post-its and scraps of paper, littering the dark corners of my tote bag. Sometimes I splurge and buy cute little notepads for my lists, although those tend to get used quickly as I almost invent lists just to use them. The notebooks at Red Otter would be no exception for me. >More Madison Etsy explorations: Sugar Plum CollarsShopping locally onlineMegan Larson on Wednesday 06/03/2009 8:00 am, (8) RecommendationsI don't own a dog but the collars at Sugar Plum Collars jumped out at me no less because of it. Sewn with fabric that is bright and colorful, each one is adorable. The patterns are fun and certainly not ones that you have ever seen used for a dog collar before. A Sugar Plum collar would definitely make your pup the most unique on the block. >More
