AUSSIE ETSIANS

My lovely daughter Alex introduced me to Etsy just under a year ago.  My kids would often say "you oughta open a shop mum!" 


I laugh out loud when I watch the iconic Aussie movie "The Castle" which has this exact line in it!  Do all Aussie kids say this to their arty crafty mums?

Aussies are amazingly talented in every way and Etsy is enhanced by the numerous Aussies that display their wares ~  I will be dedicating a post to two Aussie Etsians weekly where a brief profile and display of their creative talent will be highlighted for all to see.

Any Aussies who sell on Etsy can feel free to leave a comment and their etsy or blog addy and I will choose three each week to showcase from Friday to Friday as well as add to a blog roll over time.

  1. It's amazing how kids can just come out with the totally obvious! Your daughter was right.

    I'm an Aussie arty crafty mum in my spare time and would love to be featured.

    I'm an Aussie mum who in between homeschooling, household business and a bad back satisfies her addiction to stationary with missIsa.

  6. Hmmmm, I don't know if all kids say that to their arty/crafty mums. My eldest daughter only ever asks me to make her bags and purses! :-)

  8. Great idea Violet! And I had to chuckle at your "Castle" reference, hee hee. My kids don't say that to me but they often ask me to make them or their friends something or if they can keep my latest addition to the store, LOL.

    Many blessings to you too :)

  15. I'm loving listening to the music on your site as I am reading through your posts.

    I'm a SAHM with 3 little ones. My Son proudly announces to people that "Its crochet NOT knitting" when people comment on my creations. So cute but a little rude on occasion :)
