Etsy shop review: Kung Fu Cowgirl


Okay, kungfucowgirl is one of my favorite shops on Etsy. Just looking at her items will make you smile. There are ice cream cone and popsicle erasers, sparkly star earrings, cute bags and adorable pins and magnets, like this pancake magnet that I bought along with others that included a chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie and carton of milk. Adorable!

Shipping was insanely fast and she also included a tiny bag of treasures like star erasers and apple-scented stickers. If I won a free shopping spree from Etsy, this is the first store I'd go to and fill my cart with all kinds of adorable stuff! Highly recommended!

PROS: Very cute selection of items, fun extras with your order, very fast shipping
CONS: Is Etsy giving away any shopping sprees yet?? :)

Etsy shop review: Peg Anders




Next up in my series is Etsy seller Peg Anders, who sews wallets, coasters, bags and lots more. I saw this sweet monkey in a pretty pink dress and figured she needed to live at my house. :) Shipping was super fast, and cheap as well. Peg had wrapped her up in fabric and it was adorable. She also included a handmade keychain with her store address on it, and had great communication. I left really good feedback and also bought a business card holder from her. She's highly recommended!

PROS: Very cute item, great communication, fast and cheap shipping
CONS: None!

Etsy shop review: Sonya


Welcome to my new blog! I hope to finally start my Etsy shop soon. Inventory is piling up and I need to make room for more, so keep watching for updates!

First, I've decided to do reviews of shops I've purchased from on Etsy. I'm starting out with the first shop I ever purchased from, about a year ago. I saw Sonya's cute, colorful Mighty Mini Pouches and couldn't resist! I love the brown and blue combination and anything spirally, so I chose the Brown n Blue Spyro design.

Since it was my first Etsy purchase I was kind of excited and couldn't wait to get it. Unfortunately, I never got any communication from Sonya after the purchase, and shipping was a little slow. But the bag was well-made and cute. It even closes with a strong snap.

Sonya also used to have much harsher-sounding policies in her shop but she has changed those. Overall, I'd recommend her products.

PROS: Cute bags, so many designs to choose from, well-made
CONS: Slow shipping, lack of communication
