Exploring Etsy: April Showers

So April is upon us. How quickly is 2014 going?? It only seemed like last week that we were seeing in the new year... Maybe I'm just getting old! What better way to see in this new month than with an "April Showers" themed EE?

1) Cloud and Raindrops Cushion Cover - byMetz

I think that this little cushion cover will look perfect in a nursery or a child's room! Made from cotton with cloud and raindrops appliqué, this bright and fun cushion will make you look on the bright side of rain! This cushion is only £18.67 and ships from The Netherlands.

2) Umbrella Necklace - alapopjewelry

This gorgeous brass necklace is sure to attract a lot of attention! I love the contrast of the turquoise raindrop to the chain and brolly! This necklace is about 18'' long and costs only £13.69. There are even matching earrings available! The designer is based in the US.

3) Raindrop Latte Mug Set - sproutstudio

These handpainted mugs are the perfect thing to have a hot chocolate in after a day of walking around in the rain! To be fair, these would even be great for soup. There are also other items available so you can collect a matching set. The two cups are £27.38 and they are shipped from the US.

4) Rainbow in a Bottle - ChikoCraft

I'd love to keep so many different types of weather in a tiny bottle! The weather inside the bottle is made from polymer clay! The weather in this bottle looks like the average English day, where all seasons get a look in! There is a cork to this bottle and you can buy it on a necklace for an additional fee.The necklace is £18.67 and is made in the US.

5) Happy Little Raincloud Necklace - TheSimarillion

Lara makes all sorts of amazing lazer cut necklaces! I have no idea how it's done, so I just admire and look on in envy! This gorgeous necklace is perfect for spring. Hung on a delicately small chain, this little rain cloud doesn't look like he'd intentionally upset anyone! This necklace is only £8.71 and is shipped from the US.

6) Cloud Felt Coasters - pygmycloud

These coasters are just adorable, even if they do represent a rainier type of day! Each of these coasters is meticulously cut and punched by hand - it must take ages! This UK based designer is charging only £12 for a set of 4 coasters :)

7) Find Beauty In Rain Print - thewheatfield

I love this print. It's so bright and colourful. The font is gorgeous too and really does make you find the beauty that comes with rain. I feel like it's an expression that all could live by :) The creator is based in the US and charges £11.09 for this print.

8) "Of Rain and Rainbows" Cloud Earrings - DIVINEsweetness

These cloud earrings are so adorable, with their oversized rain drops. They're made from polymer clay and the designer describes them as "charmingly imperfect". These earrings are shipped from the Philippines and will cost you £16.63.

9) Rain Cloud Rubber Stamp - creatiate

This rubber stamp is amazing. I'm always fascinated by how skilled people are to make a rubber stamp. My friend did it for my logo (which will be making an appearance shortly!) It is true what the US-based designer says: "not all little rain clouds need to be gloomy". This stamp is only £4.93.

10) I Don't Care If It Rains Print - stardixa

I thought it was appropriate to finish this EE with this print! I don't just love the print because both the girl in it and I have purple hair... It does help though! I love how carefree she is, especially as the clouds are so angry! The Spanish designer is only charging £9.24 for this print. Be quick, there's only one available!

And that wraps up this week's EE! Sorry I've not been too present with my blog. I've really not been well recently, so hopefully when I'm back on my feet, I'll post more regularly :)
