My terrifically talented friend Alyssa Ettinger makes gorgeous ceramics. Sure, we’re friends, but I’d think her work was beautiful even if we’d never met. Just this summer she’s expanded her line to include jewelry. She’s offering up pendants and earrings, casting molds from vintage beads and buttons. The results are spectacular. You can see more of her work right here.

I just love that little “Suggest Shops” tab in the favorites section of Etsy.
More often than not I’ll come across a shop and think to myself “how have I not seen your work before?”
Given that Etsy is so large I think that even if I spent a few hours every day browsing I’d still miss tons and tons of amazing artists! So I’ve decided I’m going to take time once a week to write about a new shop that I’ve stumbled upon from my Suggested Shops. Hopefully it will help you to find some new favorites as well :)
The first shop I’m spotlighting is Wapa, the work of Ady Shapira in Israel. Really beautiful ceramics, including vases, candle holders and even some gorgeous pendants. I’m especially fond of the porcelain baskets, seen in the first and last photos below.
From top to bottom – Blu Bijoux bangles, Alex and Ani Malachite bangles, Seema bangles, 5 piece stacked bangles and Seasonal Whispers bracelet.

Love this gorgeous scarf from Kitty McCall.
