Etsy Love - Prickly Plants

I recently went to the Made in Mexico exhibition at The Fashion and Textile museum in London. It was a small, beautifully curated exhibition that immediately got me inspired for my latest uni project. I think I'm going to team together Mexican imagery with modern illustrative styles, so prepare for lots of Mexican inspired posts!

Here's the first one, it's cactus themed!

Avocados are Amazing - an Etsy Treasury

As most of you probably know, I'm a bit of an avocado addict. I hardly ever go a day without eating half an avocado. Me and my bestie love avocados so much that she made her own avocado skirt and a matching avocado bag for me.

So, I decided it's time I combine my avocado addiction with my love of Etsy and create an avocado based treasury. It's amazing how many quality avocado themed items I found on Etsy, it was hard to narrow it down to 9 of my favs.

1. Paradise Beads / 2. Harp & Thistle / 3. Undercover Quilts / 4. Jewellery L and MM / 5. fwirl / 6. Hair by Creation / 7. Celentano Woodworks  / 8. Godivas Jewelry Box / 9. show me your nails

A big thank you to Claire from Dreams Are Necessary for suggesting the Avocado Nail stickers! I blame Claire if I spend all my money on Avocado themed Etsy goodies.

Hello Sleepywhale sells the cutest cards, prints and home decor. Their simple prints combined with beautiful colour schemes produce such beautiful and eye catching cards & prints.

I think my favorite of their work has to be the mountain inspired prints. Especially the mountain calendar, it makes me think of misty mountains and crisp fresh air.
