Here is a fun Etsy shop called

Here are four of her purses that say Summer Zing!

Marie dot wristlet $20                    Alistar shoulder bag $40

Ericka is an artist and makes these fantastic purses in Tennessee, but with the wonders of Etsy, you can  buy them right from your own home!

Today I want to mention a fun company on Etsy called cutfingerproductions or Cfp. I just bought one of their pouches called American Jane and I love it! It was only $8 and it is so well made and so sweet.

They also have larger pouches and bags. The pouches are made with different fabrics mixed with denim with a fab nametag and are only $10 to $15. The bags are around $35 and are also really cool.

The designer is a former hairdresser who sews really great bags. She has a fun blog at cutfingerproductions. Check out her designs on her blog and her Etsy shop!

I thought you should see this little Etsy shop full of sweet crafts…

Tamar has been a Creative Director and fashion Stylist, and has turned her creative eye to designing some very pretty things for her line Nest Pretty Things.

She has purses, fairytale crowns, dreamcatchers, pins, magnets and pouches.

Nothing costs too much, and anything from here would make a really pretty gift.

Here is a lovely lemon yellow purse $39 from the wonderful Etsy seller oktak.

Look at the rest of their purses… they are fabulous!

Trunkt is an interesting site. It is an online magazine that celebrates independent designers, crafters and artists and gives them a place to show and sell their works. It is also a fun place to browse and shop. Here are some items from my Trunkt wishlist.

The purse is by Blissbyheather $49, the top is by Bella Sera Baby $20, the rose tablecloth $115 and the journal $10 are both by Henry Road Home.
Look around here and you will find some familiar Etsy artists and some new artists. A nice find!

Here are some really fun and lovely zippered pouches and bags by Etsy designer jpatpurses.

I found a fun contest on Modcloth that is running until September 3. You create your perfect “back to school” outfit from the site Polyvore, (such a fun time-waster for me!) and submit it and you can win a $100 gift certificate for clothes or accessories at Modcloth. Here is a an example of one I made:

Modcloth was founded by Susan Gregg, who began it four years ago to support her thrifting habit. Now it has grown to a place to find cool apparel and accessories by lots of indie designers. Surf around to see vintage clutches and one of a kind shoes and cute, cute fruit necklaces.
