    One - I love your blog and was so happy that I found it a few months ago. Two - I am going to have to say my favorite Best artist is Tigerlily at the moment. More specifically, I ADORED the poppy stamps you featured and I think I want to buy the paisley button bracelet as a gift. Honestly, I could spend all my money on etsy artists. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

    I love TigerLillyshop. Saw her work at Artscape and the 2640 craft show at the end of the summer. Fell in love. I'm a big fan of her pressed maple seed necklaces and enclosed coper nature jewelery.

    Just joined the mailing list :)

    Thanks!

    Just going through etsy tonight to see who is making what and decided to explore. Came across blog and saw the envelopes from nfall2rtdesignstudio and realized someone gave me some of them for Christmas. Love the work and they are so handy for gift tags. Thanks

    I am rediculously in love with JennyJen42's birdy things. I look at her etsy store at least a couple times a month and it always makes me so happy! I also love Tigerlilly. I ran into Allison at the American Craft festival at the convention center and got the cutest little acorn necklace. i wear it every day.

    I admired Elisha Shere's Jewlery at the Merry Mart show but wasn't shopping for myself that day. There is something very mellow and understated about her delicate pieces. I just joined the newsletter so I'm really excited to hear more amount Etsy's artists and events.

    I am very fond of Shelly Daly's stone jewelry. The carry a "zen" vibe and look very comfortable and soothing to wear. The combination of stone and metal is balanced and appealing. I would like to be entered in the give away offer-thanks.
