Hopscotch – part four

happyment — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:48:26 +0000

mysunnysets picks Handmade Greeting Card with an Included Gift (2 Pinback Buttons) by SoleDeVita. From baby clothing to pinback buttons both these are girls spreading a little sunshine with things they create.

SoleDeVita picks Rudu Bears Necklace by rudulatvia. Could your smile get even bigger?

rudulatvia picks Black Lady Necklace by XauXau. Hopping a few steps back.

XauXau picks Linen Floral Headband. Alice. Pink Flowers by magdalinen. Getting a little romantic here.

Hopscotch – part three

happyment — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:01:57 +0000

This week we’re playing a little hopscotch from one Etsy Team Latvia member to another. Let’s see where the journey takes us today!

BetaBoutique picks Antique Moth Print. Plate XLIX. Original old woodblock dated 1896 by slinkymalinkicat. I can almost see how she takes it out of her bag from yesterday.

slinkymalinkicat picks Deer Antler Brooch by mariaHandmade. Natural shapes have sparked her imagination.

mariaHandmade picks Almost Sunset 04 – Big Print by LivaRutmane. Would you dare to be wild and provocative?

LivaRutmane picks Girl with a Cat Mask – Original Drawing, Collage by irrapirra. Would you let your fantasy guide you?

irrapirra picks Paper Doll House by Dignav. Sometimes we want to play like kids and create our own magical worlds. There is no limit!

Stay tuned for more!

Hopscotch – part two

happyment — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:45:46 +0000

Let’s continue to play our hopscotch from one Etsy Team Latvia member to another!

UnaPhoto picks Spring Blossom Earrings by consentiodesign. If you read yesterdays post no explanation needed. Inspired by nature in the most wonderful way.

consentiodesign picks Multicolor Spring Scarf – Bronze Tan by AMIZANTI. It looks like they both have been walking the same meadows and smelled the same flowers for their inspiration.

AMIZANTI picks Lines of the Painter – Handmade Crochet Necklace by XauXau. It’s very possible that the colours and shapes of Latvian nature will inspire you to become a painter.

XauXau picks Pinecone Earrings by MagpiesShop. Could you paint them?

MagpiesShop picks Vintage 1970s Red Equestrian school Suitcase With Horse Print from BetaBoutique. It’s time to put your painting equipment in the bag and look for new adventures.

To be continued! Stay tuned!

Hopscotch – part one

happyment — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 09:32:57 +0000

As the Euro Week on Etsy goes on let’s play a little game on this blog. How about hopscotch from one shop of Etsy Team Latvia to another? The rules are simple – the featured seller picks the next featured seller and so on.

I think we should start with something from/in/about Riga – the capital of Latvia. And here it is – Urban Peace in Riga – 8×12 Original Photograph Print by MyMonography:

Let’s move on! MyMonography picks Brass Trap Epaulettes by binkaminka. It’s a perfect match, because the beauty of Riga has the power to trap your heart forever.

binkaminka picks Eco Herbal Eye Mask with Oat-flakes for Men by gbbox. Latvians have always relied on healing powers of nature and after hours of sightseeing this is something you could enjoy very much.

gbbox picks Morning Dew on Grass – Framed Photograph by UnaPhoto. Now it’s time to get out of the city and discover the fragile and diverse beauty of Latvian nature.

Let’s see where the journey takes us next. Stay tuned for part two!
