If you know me at all, you know I LOVE unique things, I love finding things that make me smile, and I LOVE color!! Nate give us all these things in his shop!!

Artist Bio:
I am almost 30, I’ve been screen printing for 7 years, and I’m having a blast doing it!

I started Withremote in 2002 while working on my senior thesis at the College of Visual Arts in St. Paul, MN on “Graffiti as a form of Graph Design”. Back then most of my work was photocopies and stencils (I think I lost a lot of brain cells back then from spray paint). I built up a screen printing studio in St. Paul over a few months in 2005 to start creating rock posters and art prints. I try and make at least one print run a week depending on my schedule. Generally I try and create a different style for each print I make. Usually my prints come out of whatever I’m doing that week or something that I saw/heard that I want to make a print in response to. A few times I have had people ask me how many people work in my studio to make this much work. I say “just me”.
Through the use of screen printing I create art prints and other items that are a response to the world around me.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vintage Glamour... Retro Clothes.. LOVE IT!!!
it's classic!!

Artist Bio:
I grew up in Iowa getting lots of vintage items from family members, garage sales, and other various thrifting venues. My passion and love for fashion has sprung from that influence and I decided I would like to spread it through communities surrounding me. I now run a 100% vintage and unique shop that I am very pleased with. I will soon be moving to Colorado, and hopefully pick up even more business there!

This is again another Etsy Chat find... I saw her tea-cup ring, and I'm going to have to get one for my Mad Hatter Parties!!!

Artist Bio: I'm a teenage, stay at home mom who loves to make cute jewelry and accessories for young adults and the kids at heart. I've been trying to keep up with the Japanese fashion style, in order to bring them here to the US. It's so fun and cute! I hope to bring a little cuteness to someone's life, and inspire them to find all things adorable or something to light up their day. When I'm not crafting, I take care of my daughter, hang with friends and watch the food network channel.

I have a SERIOUS button addiction... I LOVE them, they soothe me, make me smile, and are just wonderful!! SO while in an Etsy Chat I saw this seller.. and her AMAZING button purses! I knew RIGHT then I had to feature her, and share these buttons with you!!

Artist Bio:
Im LaurenKathryn, but to most, the 'Crazy Button Lady' because buttons make my heart beat, and my blood pump. I started making my purses for myself about six to seven years ago, around the age of 15, teaching myself how to sew a simple stitch, a zipper in, and a button on. Before I knew it, I couldnt stop. That brings me here, trying to send my loves around the world! They take a tremendous amount of time, and plenty of finger stabs, but I think its well worth it, and each and everyone is unique and bright.

I LOVE flowers, and these Felt Flowers are just adorable!!

Artist Bio:
My name is Steph and I live in Aurora, Illinois about 35 miles outside the magnificent city of Chicago. I have a lovely husband, "Q" and currently take care of a 7 year old Oldenburg horse named Rudy. I have been making little bits and pieces out of felt for family and only recently decided to open a shop on Etsy. When I'm not crafting I love motoring in my Mini Cooper and my husband and I keep busy traveling, cooking, rock climbing, going to concerts, and collecting vinyl records. I enjoy black and white film photography, vintage Pyrex, and all things handmade.

WOW this is a NEAT shop!!! Check it out!!

Artist Bio:
I am an artist selling handmade notebooks, sketchbooks, and one-of-a-kind pins. My work is derived from a variety of sources, such as my imagination, drawings, paintings, and even stamps from my Dad's stamp collection (of course I only use copies of stamps that he already has, but I love being able to share this collection with others). I love that I can create something and spread it out into the world for others to enjoy! If my items bring a little bit of joy to someone's day, that makes me very happy.
