Hi! I hope you had a good weekend. I spent nearly all the time I was outside masked up, with my favorite new mask which I got from Etsy and it was a great reminder all the wonderful shops which are on the platform. Actually, lately I’ve been shopping quite a bit on Etsy (does this sound like a sponsored post or something? It isn’t!). I always like hearing about people’s favorite Etsy shops so I thought I’d also share some of own with you:

Littleflowerfabric: This was a reader recommendation (thanks again Marisa!) and as I’ve already mentioned, I love these masks! You can see two of them above – I bought four total, but my husband already snatched the two solid colored ones. I have a BIG head (I know the joke writes itself) and I was finding that many masks pulled on my ears. But these are so soft and comfortable. The masks sells out FAST, so if you find a few designs you like I’d suggest you pounce. They are back on Tuesday according to the shop notes.

Linenfox: Partially because I just like their name but mostly because they have great, classic items. I have the Ocean trousers and am eyeing this sleeveless shirtdress next – think it could be great alone and as a layering piece! AND they are happy to customize. The only “problem” is the wait but I’m OK with it and my shipping experiences (albeit pre-Covid) have all been faster than expected.

Not Perfect Linen: Very similar to Linenfox (in my opinion). There is also a wait and frequently by the end of the week they have closed orders, having reached capacity. I have a few items but I wear the Porto top most frequently, and I even had them do a custom, more cropped length.

Vintage Victory Girl: I bought one of my favorite vintage leopard coats from here. There are TONS of great vintage shops on Etsy – I think the platform lends itself to vintage shopping better than on eBay, unless you know exactly what you’re looking for. On Etsy, it’s more like browsing a bunch of boutiques. And the clothes are wonderful and often read quite modern, or at least Miu Miu/Prada-ish, if you know what I mean. Like this black silk dress! You can wear it when we’re all back outside in 2022.

Nautilus Puzzles: I, like many people have recently reignited my puzzle love during Covid and have purchased a shameful amount of puzzles. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Wooden ones are my favorite but they are pricier – and while I can’t really swing a Stave like Laura Bush does I can get a Nautilus, which are laser cut and very pretty. This Japanese woodblock is next on my wishlist.

Aloha Memorabilia: A local Hawaiian recommended me this shop ages ago and so I bookmarked it and have enjoyed browsing it every since. I’ve found some great treasures in this shop, like the jade bangle in my picture above – I find them trustworthy for jade (though I’m no expert). There are a lot of wonderful vintage goodies like this gorgeous baroque pearl necklace.

LJC Designs: Linen items from Bali. Think Zimmermann in solid colors. Fun and much trendier than Linenfox/Not Perfect Linen and the like – if you have questions about sizing, I also found the owner quite responsive. They don’t customize (at least in my experience).

Love and Confuse: Another linen maker! I love linen, as you can tell. Like Linenfox, Love and Confuse are based in Lithuania. The styling is different though – a little “younger”, trendier. I’ve been eyeing these shorts for ages and they will customize (make shorter, etc).

Whew! I could go on, but some of my other favorites or on hiatus for now, and/or don’t have inventory. But that was quite a lot, right?

And please, please share your favorite Etsy shops!
