Shopping on etsy reviews

Shopping on ETSY

FineEmbroidery shop has been featured on one of the blogs I’m following, please read the FineEmbrobery interview. Today I am happy to show you my latest purchase on Etsy and am reviewing this item for you.

The item I purchased is a doorknob hanger embroidered with Chinese Feng Shui symbols and it is used as a money magnet. I absolutely love it! I made my purchase on September 30^th, good follow up by the seller as I got a message when my order was shipped along with the tracking number. By the 4-th of October it was at my door and I was holding it in my hands.

So Score for shipping 10 out of 10!

Next big point, packaging; I got it not in the usual Ziploc bag as I normally receive many of my purchases from Etsy. It was in very nice handmade box with a bowl and lovely hand written note.

So score for the packaging 10 out of 10.

Now the Hanger and how it’s made!

The door knob hanger very well done, made from olive color polyester sewn into a pillow with gold metallic embroidery. It is stuffed with poly fill and sewn to a metallic chord for hanging. I am not very good at reading descriptions; I am more the impulsive buyer. From the picture I thought it would be a bit smaller but the size is just right. One more thing, I love the cute bead sewn at the bottom of this doorknob hanger.

So the score for description 10 out of 10 (PS I only got 5 out of 10 on the fact that I need learn to read and not just buy stuff)

Conclusion;

- Money well spent

- Got great ideas for the Christmas gifts to my family.

- Totally will be back for more purchases from this seller.

Etsy Buy Vintage shrimpsaladcircus

“Shrimp Salad Circus is Lindsay & Marion. We graduated from Alabama together (cue obligatory "Roll Tide"), trekked a small portion of the world for a bit, and are now sadly located several states apart. We've both lost countless hours scouring thrift store after thrift store looking for God-knows-what and have accumulated more vintage whatnots (purses, mainly) than we'd probably be comfortable admitting. Despite our attachment to all this fabulous stuff, we can't keep buying it up at this rate, so we're passing it along to you!”

ETSY featuring artists Day 1

Christmas shopping will start in a couple days, that’s the main reason why I want to start browsing great site Etsy and feature different artists. So come back every morning to see who is next? And if you want to be one of them – just post a comment with the link to your ETSY shop and I’ll visit you.


Today is a very grey and rainy day here in Seattle so my first artist will be IrinaPhotography. Just take a look at some of Irina’s work and you will understand why she is number one in my featuring list!



"My name is Irina.

Photography is my hobby. I have taken pictures since I was a teenager. My favorite genres are Still life and Landscapes.

Sincerely,
Irina"

Shop Handmade soap !

Did you try to shop for Handmade soap ?! Why should you shop handmade soap?! Where is the best place to shop ??

I made this post with the help of many people who like Handmade soap!

Let’s count and find out why people buy handmade soap and maybe you will try to ?!

1. Handmade soap genrally has less or no chemicals in it.

2. Custome scents that you can’t find elsewhere

3. Because it lacks all the raunchy chemicals and detergents that are in 99% of all mass produced soaps - which makes skin sooo much healthier. (Commercial "soap" is detergent based with synthetic chemicals like SLS thrown in to create foaming to make you believe it works instead of it actually working. Then these companies will toss in a pathetically small portion of a real ingredient, like cocoa butter, and charge three times as much for their "luxury" "soap")

4. VERY reasonable prices on handmade soap

5. It’s made with love a personal touch

6. Natural ingridients

7. Handmade soap last longer

8. If you have allergies – you can always find one soap your skin will be happy with

9. HandMade soap is a pice of art nowdays!

10. Great for the gifts or just fo reasonable price treating for yourself

So here is the main 10 reasons to shop for handmade soap! Find yours! Shop for yourself of get ready for crystmas !

You can find soap for kids – well it will make them wash themselves with joy – because it’s a lot of funny sapes colors sizes out there on the soap market

You can find soap for adults (Wink)

You can find handmade soap for anybody!!!

So did I inspired you to spend couple $$ and try handmade soap ?!?!?!
