NEW SERIES: Etsy Roundup!

We are pleased to announce a new series here at RCS! As some of you may know, we're pretty big fans of Etsy around here (and also the satire site Regretsy, which skewers the stranger items on the site). Not only is it a venue for purchasing unique items you can't find anywhere else, but your money directly supports small-scale crafters, designers, and vintage curators (Just watch out for those resellers though, a.k.a. avoid owl pendants).  

So, from time to time we'll feature some Etsy listings we've picked out of the fray, because they're stylish, intriguing, or simply amusing. We're always doin' it for the lulz.

Without further ado:

(From left to right: Finger Print Embroidery Hoop, Gem Brooch Set, Batman Pendant, Lionel Ritchie Tea Mug, Mermaid Fins, Crochet Viking Hat)

What do y'all think of our picks?

So as I'm sure you're all well aware, I've been making jewelry from vintage buttons and selling them in my Etsy shop. Well, I've got some exciting news...

The Emerald Closet, one of my favorite Seattle-based style blogs, is conducting a giveaway for my shop! The talented team over at TEC not only captures what is happening in the fashion world 'round the world, but beautifully represents the uniqueness of Seattle street style as well.

Beginning Monday, August 8th (tomorrow, lulz) through Monday of next week, you can enter to win one of three rings from my shop that we'll be giving away!

Keep your eyes peeled for the giveway at The Emerald Closet, and good luck!
