L M Creation ~ ETT Shop of the Week

Lisa Murdin is the creative genius behind the rainbow array of wristlets, pouches, purses and more at L M Creation on etsy. Whether they are made from fabric, vinyl, or leather, the store's creations add a splash of whimsy and color to anything you wear.

Lisa's aim is to make "the best quality piece that I can in my own style and with fabrics that really appeal to me. I also aim to provide the best customer service that I can, the same kind of service that I would like to receive as a customer." Inspired by the beautiful variety of fabrics available, Lisa, like many textile artists, often feels that the fabric "tells me what to do, so when I see the right fabric I just know that it will make a special bag or wristlet or whatever."

Lisa ships worldwide and is happy to provide quotes on custom orders.

ETT Shop of the Week ~ tamdoll (SILVER Mountain Originals)

Tammy Gross, of tamdoll.etsy.com (also known as SILVER Mountain Originals), creates “an eclectic mix of unique fabric jewelry, purses, totes and wallets – from repurposed fabrics.” She also has a few woven ribbons for sale that are quite unique.

What inspires her to create?
“So many things inspire me to create - a color, a scrap of fabric, a funny story even - there isn’t anything that doesn’t inspire me, my brain never rests, and I can’t predict what I’ll come up with next. Seriously, sometimes it’s almost a disadvantage. I have scribbled ideas EVERYWHERE. My purse is filled with ideas written on scraps of paper along with the notepad that I always carry. My desk has piles of half-filled notebooks. Even when my mind is winding down, right before I fall asleep... I’ll see a color combination or shape in my mind and remember it for the next day. The problem begins when I start all these projects. I start so many, get inspired again and begin another before the first is finished. The excitement of something new keeps me going and going. And keeps my workroom a mess."

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.
