Amy, Your pacifier clips are super cute! Not like anything available in major retail stores - yours are much nicer! The pilots hats are fun too, very unique. Have you ever done one that's leather with pilot goggles on it? That would be a hoot!

I love your octopi, Mama Mayberry. Especially this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/98772766/stuffed-salvador-dali-octopus-toy-in?ref=v1_other_1

I saw a Dali exhibit at MOMA and I cried (art nerd lol).

I love your style. It's so precious.

Beautiful wall hanging. The placement of the bird is so unexpected. I like it, it gives the piece a interesting story. Keep up the good work.

Felix Fuhouse, I think your banner is very eye catching.
The items against the patterned paper has a lot of energy. I usaually don't like things against anything too busy but it works.

PaintTheTownHawaii - I love the name of your shop. It made me want to walk inside.
The wall plaque with key hooks is my favorite item.

Marc- I would like to adopt your entire shop and have favorited it- even though it is May! You have a wonderful collector's eye and love the way your photos look....

[Former_Member]

I love it! What a great idea Jeffrey!!

VelvetLeaf: I like your vintage bags and luggage collections! I can't believe all the variations of different vintage pieces in your shop. Definitely love your wooden photography backdrop.

[Former_Member]

I love your banner! Also, everything is very cohesive and your SEO and relevancy are great. Well done and best of luck!

"little pieces of handmade joy" love it :)
the simple font for your banner is cool

[Former_Member]

oops, good memory but it is short, I mean "little pieces of natural joy"
Beautiful work too, btw

Natasha, your shop is in vacation mode! I can't see much but I think it's great that your banner and avatar match and are unique. That is great for branding!

Edit: good luck at your home party! I have one in the summer and one near Christmas every year, they're very fun and work well for me, so I hope they do for you too! :)

I hope I haven't killed this thread!

Zoe, I think your photography is fantastic! I'm just starting out and the photography has been one of the hardest parts for me. I take gorgeous pics of my son but I can't get some decent shots for my shop for the life of me! I love simplistic jewelry. These are one of my favorites of yours.

Hi Margaux, I think your necklaces and photos are amazing! They're so inspired, and such an affordable price. I'm not around teething young people a lot, but if I were I would definitely buy a few.

Just favourited these two here

I'm also new (only got to set up the shop in mid-March) and I'm hoping to put on more listings as well as expanding to original handmade (vintage inspired) items.

Here's a dress from my shop that I'm really really proud of and eager to find a home for!
