Etsy Finds....Sydney artists

With Christmas less than 5 weeks away I thought I would 'Shop Local' on Etsy.   It is a feature that lets you find local artists, which if you are shopping for a last minute gifts, is a great idea.   The following artists are all from Sydney (or surrounding area), making it easier for your purchases to get to you in time.  Whether shopping for your family, friends or work colleagues, choose handmade where possible and support local artists if you can.

These are a few of my favourite things..Anthropologie

The November 2010 Anthropologie catalogue is out.   !!Hooorah!!  It is my favourite catalogue to pour through. Best done in a comfy chair with a nice cup of tea and a little biscuit or two.   Sadly, we are not lucky enough to have Anthropologie in Australia.  However, they do ship here.  Good thing with Christmas just around the corner.  No need to miss out on any of the lovelies.  Although some of their pieces are way above a crafty girls budget, the ideas are wonderful and sure to spark up some creative ideas of your own.  Catalogues are great for this.  Just check out this beautiful example.

Here are some of their new pretties:
