Dig ‘n’ Dazzle

Welcome to our Dig n Dazzle Weekly Feature!


Each week, TLC Inspirations will dig into Etsy, and dazzle you with our findings. For our first week, we have chosen our favo
rites in the Etsy accessories category, selecting items that are natural and organic, or otherwise eco-friendly. Although, we have a great passion for all things handmade, we have an admiration for the artists that are able to combine their creativity with being kind and respectful of our environment. We understand that not all artists are able to incorporate this into their creations, but every little bit helps.

We have not been able to be completely eco-friendly in our own crafting, but we try to use eco-friendly products whenever possible, and reuse when the opportunity presents itself. Art is a gift, and it comes in many packages. These are just a few, in our opinion, that are doing a great job “creating green” in the Etsy community in the accessories category. It is our pleasure, and an honor, to share them with you.

Thank you to all of our featured artists and crafters. Be sure to come back for next week’s feature to see what dazzles us! I enjoyed searching for these sites, and viewing all of the wonderful Etsy shops in the process. The handmade community is truly blessed with dazzling talent and innovation.

It really is “One Lovely Blog Award”!
