Especial de Domingo - Two for the Price of One

Today's Sunday Special is twice the fun! I wasn't able to blog last Sunday as I spent a glorious weekend at Lake Erie and finished up the trip with a fabulous excursion to Cedar Point! Oh, how I love roller coasters! Here's a view of Cedar Point from the marina's golf course...



Now, on to the business at hand!

Today, I'm highlighting Meagan at Meagan's Designs on Etsy! Meagan's store is full of hand-knit lovelies! Her crafts are practical and cute!

Check out this deep purple coffee mug cozie...



And this gorgeous chartreuse neck warmer...



Don't forget to visit Meagan's Etsy Shop:



And her blog!

The second Etsian I'm highlighting is NunofaKind on Etsy! I'm finding through my Etsy Secrets membership that there are so many talented artists out there! Nun is no different! Her creations are meant to show the bonds of sisterhood, both familial and friendship! What better way to say that someone is your sister! She has nuns for every occasion and occupation!

Check out the Dental Hygienist Nun. Which reminds me...I need to change dentists!



There's even the Wedding Planner Nun!



Make sure you visit her shop today!



And don't forget her blog!

Especial de Domingo - Jen Kiaba Photography on Etsy

Time for another addition of the Una Tia Especial Sunday Special!

Today I've chosen to spotlight Jen Kiaba. Jen is a wonderfully talented photographer and a very nice person to boot! ;-) I discovered her work through Etsy Secrets and I discovered her personality through Twitter and Facebook. She is always supportive and offers really great photography tutorials. Her tutorial on Picassa is a must see!

Her photos are unique and interesting. They make you want to look deeper. Take "Under My Toes" for instance. If you enlarge the image, there are subtle pink flowers on the ground.



I love how she uses different hues to really capture the essence of the photo:



Jen's work is outstanding! Visit her blog here!

And make sure to check out her awesome Etsy store!:

Especial de Domingo - The House of Mouse

This week I've decided to profile Anna Greaves of The House of Mouse on Etsy. Anna is a fellow Etsy Secrets member and but for ES, I don't know that I would have ever found her adorable shop.

Her art is mice! Don't you just love it?!? Her creativity flows in abundance with her creations. I saw the Barack Obamouse and I was sold. I placed the order immediately! I can't wait to receive it and show it to all my friends. I've already got the space picked out in my office to showcase this masterpiece!




Wonder Woman Mouse!




And because I am a Harry Potter fanatic -



Visit her Etsy store today!



Check out Anna's blog - Life, Craftiness and Everything Else! and her bundle of cuteness here!

Especial de Domingo - Mad Maggie Designs

The first Etsian I have chosen to feature is Leslie Gidden over at Mad Maggie Designs. She's been extremely supportive and friendly at EtsySecrets and I just love her designs!

Her Etsy store is fun and hip! Take a look at these candy filled earrings!



Another example of her out of the box creativity are her listings for Map pieces as a pendant!



It's been so fun exploring all the different artists out there. Leslie is extremely talented.

And her Blog!

New Feature!

I've recently joined a discussion group with many fascinating fellow Etsy sellers. It's so cool to see just how many creative people are out there and the numerous ways to be creative. We're all committed to seeing everyone succeed and the support we're giving each other is amazing.

In an effort to promote world wide creativity, I'm going to feature a fellow Etsian every Sunday, in what is going to be called...wait for it...

Especial de Domingo 
(Sunday Special)

I thought I'd play on my own shop name. Clever, huh? :)
