I live in an area that is FLUSH with talent! So Fridays will be shop local Fridays!!!
I'm fortunate enough to be part of a great group Sacto Metro Etsy Team, check out the blog!
Here are 2 local designer artists that are awesome! So check them out!
GirlleeGoodz
I love this shop! There is so much vision in each piece!! Here is her self written bio:
I am a one woman shop creating cheeky and flirtatious, yet, sophisticated tanks, t-shirts, and jackets. Sewing and crafting runs deep in my bloodlines but it is through designing, embellishing, and hand embroidering that I have found my true passion. Promoting individuality while utilizing color, texture, and dimension. I want my customers to feel like a million bucks in my garments...exuding confidence!

With great fabrics, and fun designs you will find things like this awesome crochet / knitting tool organizer, newsboy hats, aprons, and cute dollhouse furniture! Here is her self written bio: I've been hand-crafting most of my life in one form or another. I've been a living history docent at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park in California since 1980, and much of the crafts I do now are things that can be used at the Fort or that were popular in the mid-19th century. Give me natural fibers or materials to work with and I'm a happy camper!

Featured Seller: DestinationDesign
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.

Featured Seller: LaurenKathryn
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.
