Have you shopped at Etsy yet?  Do you have an Etsy shop of your own?  Are you an Etsy Addict?

Can I say yes to all of the above?  I’ve only shopped a few times on Etsy but I do a LOT of window shopping.  My daughter turned 2 in January and I didn’t want to go to the store to buy her cheap plastic crap that may or may not be filled with toxins.  Instead I went to Etsy and made my first purchase (actually I made 2 purchases). 

A few weeks later I was approached by a sweet momma who wanted to send me one of her adorable products to be featured here. 

I’ve actually had a few items up for sale on Etsy but with all my other projects I just don’t have the time to be very productive and creative.  Therefore I don’t have anything up right now.  Who knows what the future will hold for that.

Featured Etsy Shop of the week:  The Flavored Vase

Stephanie and Susanne only have a few items up for sale but they are adorable.  Lil’ B got her first play kitchen for Christmas so she needed her own little girl apron.  This pint sized apron is perfect for your tot to pre-schooler.  In fact it still fits my 8 year old nicely.  Please don’t laugh at my picture, it’s horrible but she won’t stand still very long these days!!  The kids have a lot of fun dressing up and making each other dinner.   

As you can tell it’s generously sized so it will fit your tot for several years and maybe someday mine will actually use it in the kitchen with me one day.  The quality of the product was very nice.  As a novice sewer I can tell that these ladies know their way around a sewing machine! 

Nice features of the child sized aprons:

• Fabric covered elastic around the neck allows the apron to fit nicely over the childs head.
• Waist strap has a Velcro closure and is large enough to fit a larger child.
• Cute Mary Engelbreit fabric – although you can choose your own fabric too.
• They offer personalization upon request.
• Made in the USA!

For only $15 how can you go wrong with this adorable pint sized apron!!  If you visit The Flavored Vase be sure to tell them The Eco Chic sent you. 

Other Etsy Shops I love:

Snuggy Baby – I bought Lil’ B an adorable tot sized toy doll sling for her birthday.  It fits her perfectly and the cute owl print is to die for!  Wish I would have found this shop when she was a wee one because they have matching slings and carriers for the mama’s too.  You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter too.

Cloth Diaper Club- I bought Lil’ B her first baby doll cloth diaper before I realized I could make my own.  For only $5 the shop owner even gift wrapped it for me!  The reason I picked this diaper is because it matched our real cloth diaper from Nifty Nappies.  Now she can wear the same cloth diaper as her baby doll…how cute!  They also make real baby diapers, woolies, soakers, and more. 

The Threaded Needle – April is one of my Twitter friends and we’re working out a trade for one of my own baby doll cloth diapers for one of her Kindle cover.  Looks like her store is currently on vacation while she moves.  I’ll be sharing more from April in the future for sure!

What about you?  Do you love Etsy?  What’s your favorite shop – share your links in the comments section.  Do you have an Etsy shop of your own?  I’ll be happy to link it up here each week; just send me your info at theecochic@gmail.com and we’ll talk.

I’m a little excited – last night I finally did it – I opened my very own Etsy shop!  Right now there is one lonely little dress waiting for the perfect home – but more items will be added soon.  I have 6 more dresses on the sewing machine right now waiting for me to get sewing!

You may have seen the dress before – my little one has been spotted in this open backed, reversable, a-line dress before on here.  The peak-a-boo back is perfect for showing off that cute cloth diaper!  The patterns vary and I try to coordinate the colors to match the popular cloth diaper colors.

Here are pictures of my first listing on Etsy – available in newborn (0-3 month) size.  I know you may not all have newborns so don’t worry – more sizes are coming soon!  AND – I take custom orders too!  Just send me a conversation on Etsy and we’ll find the perfect pattern and size for your little darling.  This dress is available from newborn all the way to 24 months – and I’m working on a larger pattern too!  The last images are our prototypes that Lil’ B is enjoying.

Want to own your very own cloth diaper dress? I’m going to giveaway ONE dress when I get to 100 ‘hearts’ on my Etsy shop!  So go take a look at the shop and tell me what you think.  Come back here and leave a comment if you ‘hearted’ my shop (along with your Etsy username) and you’ll automatically be entered to win!  Once I get to 100 ‘hearts’ on the shop I’ll randomly select one of the comments and you’ll be among the first to receive this unique cloth diaper dress!  (*Available up to 24 months at this time)

Is anyone else addicted to Etsy?  It’s my inspiration to dive back into my artsy crafty self and create!  (Of course with my 2 kids and a full time job…and a blog…I don’t really have the time!)  Etsy is a worldwide site that allows creative people to make handmade goods for the rest of the world.  My favorite thing about Etsy is that everything is made with love and passion from people just like you and I. 

One such person is Tiffany, owner of Picnic Basket Crafts.  Tiffany creates eco-friendly decadent products for your body, home and baby.  Tiffany creates an amazing line of body products that would make a great at home spa day!  Just add a bottle of wine and some good friends and pamper yourself with her Facial Scrub or Foot Soak. 

Cloth diapering mama’s will love Tiffany’s Cleanse and Moisturize Mist for your cloth wipes…the fresh scent will take away the worst poo stink from your babies behind!! 

Like to clean; try one of Tiffany’s eco-friendly mop pad that fits nicely onto your swiffer.  These pads can be used over and over again…is it lame that I would really like one of these for Christmas? 

Tiffany takes eco-friendly to the next step with her shipping packages.  When my package of samples arrived it was nicely packaged inside an old cereal box!  It was so cute!  She also packed some of the samples in paper bags (re-purposed I’m sure) that were stitched neatly to finish off the edges.
