cicada studio

i hate the bugs, but i love the seller!

when i had a family reunion in ohio one summer in high school i was first introduced to the annoying creadtures called cicadas. they are insects that annoy me to no end, and i was very glad to leave and not deal with them again. though i swear for weeks afterward i still heard the cicada song in my ears.

fast forward several years and you'll find me on the etsy forums chatting away. there's one name that brings back that odd humming to my ears. fortunately, i tend to read what a person has said before actually reading who wrote it (or i just look at the avatar which is much quicker than reading those pesky user names) because she's kind of awesome and i ended up checking out what is a very fun etsy shop!



lots of fun zodiac stuff! it makes me wish i had somewhere to put one of those Framed Zodiac Glyphs. Seriously, only $20? That's amazing! and the shipping is pretty cheap considering what's being shipped! please go check out her shop and pass the link along to anyone you know who likes all that stuff!

she's also got another website with a bunch more stuff.  she just keeps on amazing me!

did i mention she's also a mother?

and the first feature goes to...

i think it's only fair that the girl who got me into all of this be the first on my list!

lexi's stuff is rather amazing. many of her supplies are recylced items from thrift stores, so not only is she making wonderful things, she's also not using up a bunch of new resources to do so!

her wallets are my favorite of her items. she's got one up now and there's another that's already sold. i really can't wait for her to make more. you definitely want to keep her in your favorites as she goes supply hunting once a week and has recently had to replace her sewing machine, meaning she's also recently gotten an upgrade!

speaking of upgrades, ms. lexi has some exciting events taking place in september. not only is she going to barcelona, she's getting married there! so i would live to encourage you to aide her in funding that trip with a purchase! i do believe that she will do custom orders as well, so if you see the type of thing you'd like, just not exactly as you'd like it, go ahead and hit that handy little "contact" link on her page!

etsy!!!

so, i've been a little absent from blogger for a while. it seems that many people in the new community i've recently joined are here though, so i've decided to start things up again!

for now, i just want to tell everyone to head on over and check out the site as a whole. i will soon be featuring many of the sellers on the site. i have two that i want to list right now, so i will probably post about one of them tomorrow. after that i'm hoping to post at least weekly. i might just do so more often though, 'cause there are seriously some talented people on this site!

pay attention to the right side of the page, i'm sure that the list of my favorite people will grow much faster than i will post, so definitely check that for new fun stuff!
