If I would have to admit my top three addictions, they would be the following:
Coffee (because no, I cannot imagine having a day without it)
Scarves (I have way too many, but I wear them all the time, and I keep buying more)
Jewelry (not expensive, but rather one with personality. I have literally bowls of necklaces, rings, and anything with pearls, colors, and lots of sparkle....)
So you will understand how happy I was to find Cocoa Chu Chu on Etsy last week. Fai, the designer and a creator of Cocoa Chu Chu, is from Toronto, and she is so very talented. Her pieces are whimsical, lovely, and just adorable! Price range is around $20 a piece, and that makes me think of little gifties for my friends. What caught my attention was also her photography and overall presentation. Many times people don't realize how important presentation of their product actually is. Snapping a quick photo just doesn't cut it these days. There are way too many talented and created people out there, so one must stay on top all the time. Fai is doing a great job on keeping with her overall theme. Please check out her Etsy shop at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6441898
Btw, if you have never heard of Etsy, it is time to explore! It's a great community and resource of small, independent designers, who sell their goodies via etsy.com. Prices are typically very affordable, but there are some very unique designs going for far more. The main point though, is to support creative people around us who maybe wouldn't get a chance to be noticed otherwise. Creativity, profit, community.......yey for Etsy!
