Etsy Artist of the Week

This week's Etsy artist is ptitebaloue from Quebec. This petite lion captured my heart.

From the artist:
This little guy is 8" tall and knitted out of 100% pure, handspun wool. He's a bit less flexible than bigger toys due to his small size but that also makes him a perfect travelling companion that will fit everywhere!! He'll stand up proudly anywhere you decide to put him and will enjoy having his gorgeous mane placed in different ways to change his personnality :)

One might think a bachelor's degree in international studies and modern languages leads to an incredible number of job opportunities... ...Well I've been seeking for a few months now and figured out I might as well find something fun (and useful!) to do while waiting for the phone to ring :) But what was just a hobby at first soon turned into a new passion!! :)

This one says "Merry Christmas" in a nostalgic kind of way. Featuring the photographs of StaceyWinters :
From the artist:
A photograph of a glittery vintage deer is printed on Kodak Professional Endura metallic paper as the cover of this charming notebook. The back page is pool cover weight paper, the front and back cover are attached using black bookcloth. The notebook measures 7.5" x 9.75" and has lined paper with rounded corners. Also included is a metallic Deerest One card to attach, which makes this an adorable gift set for Christmas, the holidays, or a birthday. I am a bit of a notebook fiend, as they are useful for so many things...lists, gift log, journal, ideas, stories, schoolwork, notes, etc.
