Today I am going to share 3 of my absolute favourite recent buys from Irish Etsy shops and would ask you to always consider and support small handmade artists when you are looking for a gift or treat for yourself! It means the world to the maker and makes such a difference to support and nuture small businesses.
Felt Fauna by AC was one of my most recent finds.... she had a stall at Bloom and the lovely Dainty Dress Diaries shared a photo on Instagram and I just HAD to get one of her unreal wool felt creations. I have tried wool felting myself so I know how much time and love have gone into Ali's makes. The hardest part for me was to decide which animal to go for-I decided on the bear but it won't be my last purchase!

My next must see is @themessybrunette one of my crafty pals whom I am lucky to own a few of her beautiful hoop art pieces-personally I love her Christmas script hoops and floral work. When I saw her share a photo of a Frida Kahlo embroidery on Instagram I had to have one... and Maura even made the flowers to match my craft room.. she's a real little work of art and Mauras flowers are stunning too...

Recently llamas and alpacas are appearing on lots of cute things in fact at the moment in Flying Tiger Stores there are lots of fun bits (Aug 2018 collection). While browsing on Etsy I came across the sweetest shop @elis_elna with the most colourful llamas and cacti made from felt so I was like take my money!!
