Found on Etsy
Just as I was about to wrap up this issue for posting and do the Etsy search, we got a heavy downpour of rain. Given my limited creativity sometimes, I decided to use that as my inspiration for my Etsy search today. Go ahead, try it. You will find over 17,000 items by searching “rain”! Here are only a few of them.
- You will find these sunshine through the rain earrings and lots of other beautiful handmade jewelry at NRjewellerydesign
- There’s a LOT of beautiful rain-themed art but I particularly liked The Road Home giclee print from watercolor artist Mary Ellen Golden
- Another beautiful jewelry design is this Orchid and Rain earring set from Mae Day Design
- If you are a fiber artist or knitter you will love this Summer Rain wool roving from Old Sheep
- Or maybe you would prefer Rain Forest hand dyed silk ribbon from Flame Kissed Art Glass
- I loved these cute umbrella shower invitations from Little Lady Company
