Etsy Making Broken Things Beautiful Again
Some time ago I subscribed to Etsy in order to receive their daily newsletter as inspiration for decorating and craft projects as well as unusual gifts.
Usually, just as I am setting the table for dinner, the Etsy newsletter lands in my inbox. Disappointingly, there are too many crocheted shawls and items which I would consider just a little too handmade to be worthy of purchasing but very often there is a gem which I find hard to resist.
My first such purchase was a delicate ring from St Joshua, fashioned from the innards of an old watch. A thorough look through the store and I was impressed by the wonderful and delicate jewellery which is produced from things which no one wants. I then found an excuse to make a second purchase for a friend who needed some assurance that something beautiful can be made from something which is broken.
Pink House produce this fantastic modern toddler chair made from beautiful, sustainable wood.
Chic felt toy boxes from Babies Breath’s store cool enough to keep in the lounge.
There are many more treasures to be found if you can bare to trawl through the macramé pot holders and knitted balaclavas but I urge you to do so.
