Noadi's Art ~ Etsy Twitter Team Shop of the Week


There's a genuine love and passion behind the scupture and jewelry that you find swimming at Noadi's. Cephalopods, fossils, crabs, and other denizens of the sea fill this shop and artist Sheryl Westleigh wouldn't have it any other way. A 27 year old Maine native, Sheryl's love for science and these unique and intelligent creatures inspires every one of her original, polymer clay creations. Sheryl says, " I really do love the subjects I base my creations on. It's really wonderful that I've found an outlet for it that sells, and that allows me to bring in my other interests."

Noadi ships internationally to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all of Europe. Visit Noadi's Art on etsy or find her on:

Pull Up a Chair Treasury

In my opinion, it's impossible to own too many chairs. They are one of my favorite objects, functional and decorative, modern or vintage, plain or ornate. One of my favorite things is finding a single discarded chair on the street and taking it home to refresh it with paint and fabric. Unfortunately, I have a pretty large collection of these still awaiting their magical makeovers. Never mind, they come in handy this time of year! And each one is as unique as the guest that sits in it!

ETT Shop of the Week ~ Jusshar Designs


Jusshar Designs is brimful of hats, scarves, fingerless gloves, shrugs and more, all designed with enough flair to keep winter at bay in style.


Owner Beth Newbern-Hallam loves the satisfaction of taking a "skein or two of yarn and creating something from it. I'm also really beginning to appreciate the process of making yarn. Every time I see a show, movie, or commercial with fiber creations in it, I think to myself....bookmark that idea for later. Sometimes I can't sit back and enjoy the movie for all the fiber seeking I'm doing."


Beautiful handknits and crocheted pieces make fabulous gifts, so now's the time to take advantage of the discount below:

10% off For Fans of Jusshar on Facebook, with FREE US SHIPPING & Discounted International Rates
