Ethereal, Vintage Inspired Feather Accessories

Confession. I love shoes. And by saying I love shoes, I mean that at one time I have owned over 200 pairs of shoes in all styles and all shapes and for all occasions.

I don't own quite so many of them any more, but my passion for shoes still carries on and when I see women dressed smartly or with flair, their shoes are the first thing I look at. It's true, what they say about shoes making or breaking an outfit.

Lots of women (and lots of men, for that matter, even if only in a purely visual aspect) have a passion for women's shoes. And for all those out there that do, today's shop is going to be a paradise to browse through.

La Plume Ethere on Etsy is filled with shoes that have been embellished by hand for style and flair. Now, don't get me wrong, they have other products as well. Feathered hair accessories, fascinators, corsages and bouquets abound in this shop. But, it was the shoes that drew me in through the door.

La Plume Ethere creates unique, vintage-inspired feather bouquets, bridal fascinators, veils, bridesmaids fascinators, feather bouquets, feather boutonnieres, and more. Each piece is lovingly hand sculpted to perfection to add a unique, one of a kind piece of art to your wedding, special event or for any day at all that you just want to feel special and sexy.

Ginny, the creative designer behind each of the pieces in La Plume Ethere is full of beautiful ideas and tons of creativity. She takes attention to detail to a whole new level as she seeks to create unique, one of a kind pieces with fashion and flair.

Also, 10% of all sales at La Plume Ethere are donated to the American Cancer Society. In 2010, the artisan raised and donated $1200 to this charity and plans to continue this selfless giving into the future!

Natural and Beautiful Items Made of Felt and Wool

You know.... Today's shop is proof that sometime it's worth it to click on those little ads you see on blogs and other websites now and then.

That's how I discovered today's feature shop! I clicked on an adorable little square on a website and it took me into a land of feminine cuteness and lovely creativity that I had to come and share with you!

FeltLovely on Etsy is filled with beautiful felted items from bags, corsages, tea cozies and jewelry to scarves, wraps, slippers and more.

Creativity abounds in this little shop that's filled with colorful pieces and wonderful ideas. I'm especially attracted to the little acorns. They're just adorable.

The artist uses natural materials in her pieces with preference towards the organic whenever possible. She also often incorporates vintage fabrics into her items in a combination of artistic talent and the ancient art of felting. Blended into one, she creates unique, contemporary pieces that are both beautiful and functional in today's world.

Once a resident of Scotland and now located in France, the artist behind FeltLovely has a fashionable flare to her pieces and an inspiring eye for color.

And, not only does she offer a beautiful variety of items for sale in her shop, but she also loves custom orders and offers to happily collaborate with customers on a unique item designed just for you!
