    I actually really like the way the dark colors work together, it looks very sophisticated and elegant. I probably would not have used all caps or the Z on the end, but the item itself looks nice.

    I love the big red bow. That is too cool. It matches really well with the black of the beret and ads a little bit of pizazz.

  2. http://www.etsy.com/listing/31062250/rhapsody-in-blue-crochet-napkin-holders

    I love these napkin holders. I love the colors, I love the button centers, I love the obvious quality and time that went into them. These napkin holders remind me of my grandmothers home, and make me want to start using cloth napkins in my own home. If I had napkin rings like this, I wouldn't even mind the extra laundry!

    These butterfly earrings are jaunty and fun and just a delight! I like to think about how they would look in my little girl's hair. So perky, and so obviously well-made.

  3. I choose junebugjan and susanneedlehands!

    junebugjan:

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/30643753/colors-of-the-sedona-desert-scarf?ref=v1_other_2

    I love all of her items for the colors of nature she incorporates! I chose this particular scarf because I have always had an affinity for deserts and this one reminds me of my favorite, the Painted Desert in Arizona. The scarf is aptly named and I absolutely love the pattern!

    susanneedlehands:

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/29223886/handmade-storage-bowls-green-brown

    I chose this item because I love the idea of felted items and the idea of something being functional. These crocheted, felted bowls are both beautiful and functional! They inspire me!

    From Needle Nerd I've chosen this gorgeous blanket throw http://www.etsy.com/listing/54725980/blanket-throw-30x30-free-shipping-to-us because the colours are so lovely and rich looking, and it looks very soft and snuggly.

    From Sweetbriers I've chosen her Tote of Many Colours http://www.etsy.com/listing/52153353/tote-of-many-colors mainly because of the colours again, so fresh and lively, and I like the slouchy relaxed style.
