Feature Friday- Lots of amazing finds!

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful week :). This week has been one full of milestones for me including my first year on Etsy. I celebrated my 400th facebook follower recently and it was my aim to reach 200 blog followers and 500 twitter followers before my 1st Etsy anniversary which was on Wednesday. On Wednesday morning I was still quite a few followers short of my target twitter followers so decided it probably wasn't going to happen but was still really thrilled with all my other milestones, especially my 1st Etsy anniversary. In the evening I was tweeting and all of a sudden my followers rocketed and I managed to complete all my targets by my anniversary :). HORRAY!! Thank you to all my new followers :) and thanks to everyone who continues to support me. Feels amazing to have celebrated my first year on Etsy. I have learnt so much :) and really enjoyed seeing my little business grow.

To celebrate my 1st year on Etsy (I can't believe it has come around so fast!!) I am holding a giveaway in which you can win five prizes, please scroll down to my Monday post to enter :). There are lots of different ways you can enter such as following my facebook page, tweeting, sharing a photo etc.

 I thought I would do this week's Feature Friday a little differently and change things up a little because this week has been an exciting one!  I have found lots of beautiful items and beautiful shops this week that I just couldn't choose who to feature so instead I thought I would feature lots of different items from lots of different shops :).

Please be sure to take a little look at the shops featured, all of the shops featured are full of beautiful items.

 Here are some of my favourite finds this week.....

I love the summer and I really really love icecreams! These handmade icecream charms by Handmade Cute are such fun!!


 I have absolutely fallen in love with this Handmade crochet bear. Who wants to give him a home!?

This horse reminds me of Mary Poppins and even the title (Vintage wonder horse!) is cool! Take a look at him here 

 How cool is this shabby chic coffee grinder?!


This is one of the prettiest hair clips I have seen on Etsy Beautiful handmade peony flower hair clip

  3. Lovely finds and congratulations! Since the beginning of August, I've been on Etsy for a year as well. I've been very busy though so I only had one sale during my first year on Etsy. Very sad i know but i blame it on my lack of promoting and such. This month i decided to do something about it. Now I'm at 7 sales on Etsy and 2 on Tophatter. I am so excited. You have inspired me to set big goals for myself that hopefully I will reach by the end of my 2nd year on Etsy. Good luck to all who are participating in the giveaway and I hope you have an even better 2nd year ond Etsy =)

  5. Congratulations on your anniversary and many more to you! I think I've been to scared to even make any goals for my shop since I just opened, but you've inspired me to give it a shot and start small. You've done remarkably well and lead a great team. And thank you so much for including my hair fascinator in your feature with these other lovelies! Have a great weekend! ;-)

    I'm loving the vintage coffee grinder! I took a look at her shop and she has a few more, they're all wonderful. :)
