Hi, My name is Alysha and I am newly transplanted to Seattle from Los Angeles. I am originally from NY and have also lived in Las Vegas, Santa Barbara and Montana. The northwest is very different for me, however I am absolutely loving it so far, it's a very special place.

I am happiest when I'm making things, so my shop and work is all about living a fun, happy and creative lifestyle. Thanx for checking it out and I hope you enjoy your time in my little world :)

Hi everyone! We just joined Etsy and are really excited to start "mingling" with other Etsians. We are brand new to the group and don't yet have a facebook page...our teenage daughter is in charge of it but we might have to change that really quickly if we don't have anything going soon. :)

We do have a website that is informational only. http://www.amrisbodycare.com/

Jen's Mini Bakery specializes in creating unique handmade miniature food jewelry, and soon to be expanding (hopefully) into 1:12 scale food pieces and displays.

I'm an ECE student, an expecting mom (December 2013!) and a writer, and I reside in beautiful Victoria, BC.

I just started my blog, I would love some interest, comments or suggestions, and I promise to return the favor. Baking up a blog is dedicated to my daily pregnancy gripes and milestones, progress on new pieces in the works, general chatting and fun.

Hi everyone, and happy Friday!

I'm so happy to be a part of this team. :) My Etsy shop is called The Lucky Find Vintage and I sell a variety of vintage/antique items with a focus on kitchenware and home decor. I inherited a love for old things from my mom and grandmother, and have been personally collecting for a long time now. I am all over the place when it comes to what I like, and my shop reflects that!

I grew up in Texas but have lived in Portland since I graduated college, so just a little over 6 years. And I LOVE this part of the country! It was pretty much love at first sight the first time I visited, and it has been a great place to me ever since I moved here. When I'm not hitting up estate sales or working on the shop, you might find me hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, hitting up a local brewery, visiting the PSU Farmers' Market or taking a trip to Ashland or Seattle to visit friends.

I suppose that's enough info for you, I don't need to write a novel! ;)

Here is my info if anyone wants to connect:

Nice meeting everyone! Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend, and see that beautiful sun!

Hi friends! We're excited to be a part of a team that hails from our favorite part of the planet. Being raised in Portland by my mother and grandmother, one of which was quite handy and the other that was quite crafty, it's only appropriate that the work we do would be equal parts bash it apart and then make it beautiful.

Attic Journals began on a sleepy Saturday morning in 2004 when I happened upon a beautiful tattered book at a garage sale. With an immediate need for having an original gift at a my friend Angie’s birthday celebration that evening, I headed home to re-purpose the book and Attic Journals were born.

In the years since that first Saturday, Attic Journals has evolved into a burgeoning business that works hard to be as sustainable as possible from here in Portland. By working with schools and libraries around the country to harvest their discarded books and upcycle them, the benefit of Attic Journals is three-fold: funding community education, keeping significant tonnage out of landfills, and helping people around the world tell their story. Our work is an affordable unique gift, perfect for the hard to gift people in all of our lives.

We've recently made it our goal to use up the whole book. Our latest effort is to figure out the best/most unique ways to use up the spines of the books we upcycle. Keep your fingers crossed for us that one of the collaborations we're in the middle of will yield something phenomenal that will make all of us proud.

[UptonElm]

Hi there,

I live in Auburn, Washington State. We are just south of Seattle.
I am originally from Canada, so it's a new (10years) thing for my to call myself a Pacific Northwestener, but I have for sure enjoyed LIVING in the PNW!!! It's a great place:)

I am a Pharmacy Tech by day, but in the evenings after the kids are down for the night I switch into Crafter mode. I LOVE to sew and create. I call it my therapy, and one day it would be great to make it be more of a stable job. But in the mean time, Create create create!!! My new Etsy shop is UptonElm.


My "Barley Buddy" (heat therapy bags) has been my staple for years! Friends from all over the world have been gifted or purchased these from me as I have made them. Christmas never goes by without many requests for BB's!! :)

I also have found a new creative outlet to upcycle and repurpose items. Got something you don't use as it is, but love the material?? I love changing it into something new.....

Pillows from a Table runner? or HandBags from a dress??

So---now you have a taste of what I do. I love every minute of it and look forward to tonight, when the children snore and the sewing machine can whir! :)
