Quick Update

Wow. Time has gotten away from me. I meant to have this updated last week.

I want to thank everyone who came out for Etsy @ the Market. I had a great time meeting all of you. The weather was beautiful, which I am thankful for since the next day was full of rain and dreariness. I had lots of regular vendors and customers comment on how great everyone's items looked and how nice everyone was. They hope that Etsy sellers come to the market more often.

Also, we are now an official street team. I need to get a banner so it looks a little sad right now, but please feel free to join up. The goal is to get more etsy shows going in the area. Whether it is in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti or Flint/Brighton area. If anyone has a location I would be more than happy to help organize the show.

Artist Spotlight... Capperoo

I'm a full time mommy of 2 beautiful girls. I manage to squeeze some creative time in every day to keep from losing my mind. I create jewelry, diaper bags, tote bags, purses, wallets, etc.

I knit, sew, crochet, make beaded jewelry, love to work with wire, bead weaving, make paper crafts, altered art, paint, etc. I'm always trying something new, so you'll see a little bit of everything in my shop. If you don't see what you're looking for, I'll be happy to work with you to design it. I love custom designing, whether it be jewelry or sewing. I'd love to add one of my pieces to your collection!

I am an altered paper & book artist living in Michigan. I used to be a milliner, but I traded in my sewing machine for glue.

I have always loved creating things but up until recently, the only people who saw them were family and friends. A few years ago, I discovered crocheting, which led to dyeing, which led to felting, which led to knitting, which led to spinning... which led to this shop. I still dabble in other types of crafting when something takes my fancy but fiber crafts are really my passion.

I am a jack of many trades. I am a massage therapist, dietitian, urban gardener, leathersmith. I spent some time in NYC at Parsons where I apprenticed with some great ladies, learning the leather trade. Back home now in Michigan, I channel my creative energy into my work, both gardening & leather-crafting. Most of my pieces are made from remnants and scraps, which means there are very few that are entirely the same. Thanks for checking out my store, please feel free to email with questions or comments!

Artist Spotlight .... Photofinds

Photo Finds

I am passionate about many things in life, one of those things being photography. I went to college and received a BA in photography, although I think my career started much earlier, as I have been taking pictures for about as long as I can remember!

What I like to do with my photography is take a closer look at things that are mostly ordinary, everyday things and represent perspectives that some people might not see right away when looking at a subject.

Artist Spotlight... Just Off The Beadin' Path

Just Off the Beadin Path
Welcome to the wonderful world of Megg! Thank you for strolling just off the beadin' path! I have been making and selling my art for over twelve years now,in and throughout Michigan! I am a struggling and starving Artist in the worst sense of the word! At the ripe old age of 32 I have retired from the working world to spend my days changing diapers and chasing children around like a crazy person! At night, when all four of my darlings are tucked into bed I retreat to the land of Megg and I create anything and everything my little heart desires! I take comfort in knowing that my etsy site is always there just waiting for me, my window to a whole other world where I can be the person I have always wanted to be but never had the time to be. Etsy allows me to have Megg time, something I rarely experience when I am trying to be there for everybody else!!! What would I be if I could'nt be Megg, for at least a few minutes a day anyway!!!
I specialize in jewelry design, crocheting, oil pastel drawing, wreath, pendant & doll making.
