Found on Etsy

For the last month or so I have been daily attacking the weed in our 600 foot gravel driveway. I am almost done! But I used that as my search of Etsy this week. Search "weeds" on Etsy and you will get 44 pages of results! Here are a few of my favorite things from that search:

Frillz makes art jewelry like this Weeds bracelet
Morgan Silk makes hand dyed and painted scarves, Sunrise Datura is hand painted silk crepe
You can find unique beaded jewelry at Made By Olga, like this Seaweed freeform beaded pendant
Ellembee makes hand printed clothing, including her Whimsical Weeds tee shirt
Pretty Much Art has graphical prints like these Wild Things note cards
Dottyral makes creative pinchusions and pendants, I found her through this embroidered dandelion pendant
