New ETT SOTW - Moonlight Dreams

The new ETT SOTW is Moonlight Dreams. It's creator, Barbara Gordon, crochets a variety of accessories including hats, fingerless gloves, cowls, scarves and flower pins. Barbara says "I feel that my products are stylish, without being 'over the top', and I painstakingly check and recheck my items before I ship them out. I want them to be fashionable, functional, and extremely durable at affordable prices."

Although Barbara lives in sunny Southern California, she loves "...making warm and cuddly hats and accessories, but the cold season is very short here. Etsy has been my saving grace, allowing me to market my products to folks in colder climates". (Yes! She ships internationally).

Special SOTW Offer: 20% off Moonlight Dreams items

Valid Monday, January 10, 2011, through Sunday, January 16, 2011

Redeem at checkout with code ETTSOTW20

Foxy G Knits ~ Etsy Twitter Team Shop of the Week

It is my pleasure to show you some of Lois' of Foxy G. Knits work (there is a story there!). Based in Atlanta, she is one of the members of the Etsy Twitter Team that is usually helping to promote everyone else.

Her scarves and shawls are colorful, unique, soft, warm and just plain amazing. (I should know, I own two!) In addition, Lois is a generous soul, constantly using her etsy shop and handknit items (that she and her Mom knit and crochet) to help raise funds for good causes. She is just one of those people that there should be more of in the world.

From February 1st - 7th Lois is offering the following discount in her shop:

FREE U.S. SHIPPING on all purchases totaling $40 or more.

Jenco13 ~ ETT Shop of the Week

Visiting Jenco13 is a sure way to feel a serious need for something warm. Multi-colored shawls, scarves (with pockets!), cup cozies, cuddly baby blankets and more fill this Etsy store.

Jen freely admits that most of her items narrowly miss being kept. "I love each item I make and sometimes find them very hard to part with! I spend anywhere between 6-8 hours on a scarf to make sure my stitches are even and consistent. If it's not up to my standards, I rip out the stitches until I'm satisfied. I only sell things that I would use myself."

Jen credits her mom, a graphic designer and artist herself, with inspiring her. "She is amazing with colors! We try to get together at least once every 6 months to do an art day for the girls."

Jenco13 ships internationally and does custom orders. Become a fan of Jen on Facebook or follow her on Twitter.

Jenco13 is offering TWO special deals this week:

CUP COZIES ARE BUY ONE GET ONE FREE! SCARVES ARE BUY ONE GET ONE 1/2 PRICED!

ETT (Etsy Twitter Team) Shop of the Week ~ Rhodes Annals Designs

This week’s shop has extremely lovely handmade items. Claire Elizabeth Annals (her maiden name was Rhodes), of Rhodes Annals Designs, sells bags, hats, crocheted purses, knitted scarves and cowls. She also sells some of her sister’s jewelry and vintage patterns.


“Each item is 'lovingly' handmade, by that I mean that I enjoy making them and like to imagine how they will be used by their new owner. I am always on the look out for new ideas, and if I wouldn't use an item, it doesn't go into my shop. I use the best materials I can source, and I am always on the look out for unusual yarn and fabric patterns.”

Rhodes Annals Designs is based in Nottinghamshire, UK.
