It’s Earth Day and I’m absolutely excited about this week’s The Best of Etsy List.  As most of you have probably noticed, I have a soft-spot  for repurposed items and eco-friendly goods. So, it’s lovely to put together a list in honor of Earth Day with just such a focus. I hope you’ll find some new favorites and perhaps some new ways to treat our beloved planet better!Â
Â
The  Best of Etsy: 22 April 2009 — The Earth Day List
First up, I had the hardest time choosing what to feature from Andrew’s Reclaimed. When you click on the store you’ll understand why. I suspect there is an arbor in my garden’s future–but you should really see these bee houses!Â
Mother Earth should not suffer for your clothes being clean! But hygiene is a good thing. Now you can both be happy!Â
That wraps up this week’s list. Why not tell me your favorite eco-friendly tip in the comments. I’d love to know what your best advice is to those of us trying to make a difference? Â Once you’ve done that, get out there and enjoy this day!Â
It’s Tax Day and I hope you all got yours done early! But whether you’re scrambling last minute or watching the rest of us scramble last minute, The Best of Etsy is promised relief from the drudgery of taxes. And besides, you’ve got a little rebate money coming your way, right? Well, I’ve found a few ways for you to spend it!!

The Best of Etsy — 15 April 2009 — The Tax Man Doesn’t Get the Last Laugh List
The weather here isn’t cooperating, but I’m ready to dress for spring. Lately, the Maxi  dress has caught my imagination and this one is superb!Â
I’m thinking I’ll wear that dress HERE. Ok, I can’t go, but I can buy the photograph!Â
I think we’ve established that I go coo coo for cocoa puffs, I mean pottery. And now, I can wear it!Â
All caps on the description aside, these would be perfect for sipping Ice Tea on the Porch in that dress. You see a theme here. Right? I refuse to let the tax man or the weather impede my delusions.
Athena’s Olive Tree is having a HUGE Sale. And I’m all over anything BEACH.Â
Brand new store! Such a cool concept! Go check out All Things White.Â
And finally, some seriously cool wall art. Still undiscovered, so you can say you saw it here first!Â
Â
So that wraps up this week’s list. Come join me on Twitter today as I RT (retweet) specials and deals for Tax Day. It’s not too early to be thinking about Mother’s Day and Graduations, not to mention Wedding Season. So, find a deal and snatch it up!
Can you believe it’s already April? We’ve been blessed with a few sunny days this month and April is already feeling lighter than March. I hope it’s finding all of you well! Â
Today’s list is eclectic. But I think there are a few treasures worth perusing. Think of it like an Easter Egg Hunt: what will you find when you click? Enjoy!
Â
The Best of Etsy — 8 April 2009. Â The Treasure Hunt List
My newest favorite thing to hunt for on Etsy is colored glass. WOW!Â
I’m really fascinated by things that incorporate “words”. So, this is a must! And who isn’t a fan of recycling?
And finally, while I’m a huge fan of tiny ceramic mushrooms for your terrarium, I’m liking this vintage piece! Everyone needs a gremlin, right? Â
Â
Have fun looking through this list. I’d love to hear what you think— so feel free to leave a comment. And as always, you can find The Best of Etsy each Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm PST on Twitter! Join me!
Hi there! It’s April Fool’s Day and do I have a surprise for you. It’s no joke: this week’s The Best of Etsy list is being featured on Indie Fixx! Â It’s a supersized list, crammed packed with my choices for your wall. Yes, you heard me. Your wall emailed me last week and complained about the poster print of the Eiffel Tower you have framed in plastic that she’s been “wearing” since 1995. It’s time for a new look! So, head over to Indie Fixx and take a peek. I’m betting you find something your wall will adore.Â
For those of you who are regular Evidently readers, I should be back later today with a new post. Assuming, of course, that I do not drown in this torrential rain. Now, I need to go find my Water Wings before I head out to the grocery store.Â
Sulu earrings. Susan truly is one of The Best of Etsy!Â
Â
Spring has arrived. Now, somebody tell the weather! This constant grey and rain has driven my motivation to Boca Raton. She left two weeks ago and I hear she’s having a grand old time sipping sweet things on a beach somewhere. Â I wish she would come home, because the laundry is piling up!
I know, I know, I’m always whinging about the weather. Shall we get on with it? I have a great list today–No theme, just a selection of really amazing Etsy finds I think you should see. So, here we go:
The Best of Etsy: The List Where Wende Stops Whining About the Weather for 15 Minutes.Â
Ok, so I know I said I wouldn’t talk about the weather in this list. So I won’t. But if the ___________ is too cold in your part of the world to wear your new Spring Dress. . . then pair it with this. See, I can do this!Â
Pssst. You. Yeah, you with the 8.5 size foot. Red Wedges. Vintage. I know, that never happens!Â
Tulips and lattes. I think it might just be a match made in heaven. Go see!Â
Â
Wow, and I have so much more to show you! However, you’re going to have to wait until next week to see it! Apparently, some of you are in full possession of your motivation and are making amazing things for spring! Speaking of next week—do I have a surprise for you. It’s going to be a super-sized list and . . . I can’t tell you the rest. But it’s really good!Â
Until then, enjoy the beginning of this new season.
Can you believe we’re less than a week from the official onset of spring? I couldn’t be more ready for the possibility of a nice long walk in the sun. You know, wearing a dress or sandals or well, not my huge wool coat! Although, out here in North Coast Oregon, spring may not arrive when the calendar suggests. So, all the dreaming we can muster is a necessity!  With that in mind, here is today’s The Best of Etsy list: a dreamy collection that should have you thinking “Spring!!” even if the weather won’t permit.
The Best of Etsy — 18 March 2009 — The Leave Your Coat at Home List
First up is this darling vintage dress. This is really a summer dress, but with the right sweater you can get a jump on things! Spring forward, right?Â
The perfect accessory for that girly spring dress! It’s really delicate but not frumpy. Floral without being fru-fru.Â
