Etsy Crafter Spotlight :: In an effort to encourage folks to support small businesses, I will be highlighting various Etsy crafters on the Little Things Blog to introduce you to some of my favorite crafters on my favorite website. Of course, if you are on Etsy I always recommend stopping by the Cards by Katie shop to see all of my note cards!
Ellie Shea Originals:
Are you looking for a unique gift for a new baby or small child? Might I suggest Ellie Shea Originals? Michelle Higgins is a stay at home mother like myself who is using her talents to create unique & adorable shirts for wee ones to sell on Etsy. I stumbled across her shop while searching for the perfect gift for my cousin’s new baby. Maybe you’re reading this and can relate to being a stay at home mom, looking for a hobby to pass the time. If so, coming up with an idea, planning and even choosing to get instagram followers could be just a few steps that’ll help you take your idea of opening an Etsy store become a reality.
I wanted a onesie that would speak to the fact that Anna and her husband run my beloved CSA, Rains & Sun Hilltop Farm. I found the shirt you see to the right and was immediately smitten with it. It was perfect! Michelle hand cuts and stitches the appliques on her shirts, and she has a pretty varied selection…with everything from Elmo, to a stethoscope, to moustaches to rock and roll, to gamer geek wear and more! She can also personalize shirts or make custom shirts, just convo her to find out more. I really loved the shirt I chose for baby Greta, and I plan on shopping at Ellie Shea in the future! Take a minute to visit the Ellie Shea Originals Etsy Shop, or give her Facebook page a “like” so you can keep up with new designs. And keep this shop in mind next time you need a baby shower gift or a birthday present for a small child.
If you are thinking of starting an Etsy business and would like to take your business to the next step then using things like a limited company address service could help to make your business more official and give you a secure address for your ingoings and outgoings, plus much more. The idea starts with you and using Etsy to sell your product could be the best way to start your business!
