StitchWicked is first today, with her awesome design-your-own camera bag! I’m featuring this item first because I actually ordered it myself for my boyfriend last winter. It’s still holding up strong, and the pockets and padding are just right for a serious or hobby photographer. Here’s a photo of the bag she made for him:

This tiny little critter home by purplepetunia is one of her many little miniature fancies. Her pieces seem to inhabit a fairy world all their own, and I love getting those little peeks into it.

TimothyAdamDesigns makes all kinds of different metal art items made to look like vintage cameras, including this great magnet. He also creates really unique jewelry displays and other awesome stuff.

This amazing mug by etcArts is such a work of art–the artist’s attention to detail in all this shop’s work is what really sets it apart, along with a good eye for design, and a wonderful set of glazes.

owlyshadowpuppets‘ creations are so original and fun! Etsy is really suffering a dearth of great dinosaur items, and this T-Rex definitely helps fill the void.

And lastly…today I started listing my new line of Animal Friends on Etsy. Here’s the first, a baby sea lion:

Speaking of Orin, he has lots of new photos from my last two craft fairs!

First there was the Renegade Craft Fair: San Francisco, where I, along with many other SFEtsy members, helped to stock the Etsy booth with lots of crafty goodness.

Here’s my display, with handcranked‘s also visible in the background. We were right by the entrance–it was so exciting!

A close-up of my bead and button display. I used a vintage half-sized letterpress drawer.

My ring case. It’s a modified cigar box.

And next. only two weeks later, there was the SFEtsy Handcrafter’s Faire, at the home of Linda Davis Designs.

Some of the members of my new line of Animal Friends, which will be going up in my shop any day now.

Napkin rings — more goodies to watch out for in my store!

I made a lot of new beads for this event, only some of which are seen here. There are also lots of new buttons, slightly to the left of what you can see here.

And probably my most exciting new project, this is a display of my Poem Drop Pendants–wee little ceramic droplets stamped with phrases or lines from poetry. These should start trickling into my shop today!

And there are already some new things in my shop today, including this new ring:

These last two craft fairs were fun, but I will be taking a break from public events for a while, to finally make time to organize all my small business registration gobbledegook. I will be doing some fairs in the fall/winter, hopefully, and in the meantime, I will have more time to devote to my online shops!

(“Shops”? Yes, there’s a plural now, because although I pretty much opened and then ran out of time to devote to it, I now also have a shop on the Euro-based site Dawanda, which will hopefully make my items more accessible to international customers, as well as those closer to home!
