etsy appreciation : cozyleaf

Viewers of my 365 project on flickr might remember the day i received my little tea samples from cozyleaf--i know i do. 
i absolutely love when shops that sell edibles online offer samples. that sort of thing really helps for people like me who have trouble choosing flavors.
i chose the winner after a long few weeks thinking of which to pick and finally made my purchase, which arrived just last week in this adorable little rough cloth drawstring bag.

as an etsy seller myself it's always awesome to learn from the peeps who know how to present their wonderful products, and i was definitely schooled this time. carefully wrapped with tissue paper was this little tin with my tea in it, complete with a pic of the leaves themselves and brewing directions on the underside. pretty, but simple. i'll admit i felt a little bad about spoiling the wrapping to get to the leaves.

if you feel iffy at all about buying edibles on etsy, i understand completely! i definitely was too but i took this leap and am really happy about the purchase i made! check out the cozyleaf on etsy for your favorite tea, and let me know how you find it!

i finished up a new design that i've been excited to share for a while--here! my favorite moss stitch in the form of a warm cowl, with a little bit of crochet on each end as a finish. for this design sample i just had to use a deep hue so i went for cranberry. i'm very happy with how it turned out and would love to learn how it will look in the colors my customers may choose for their own.teresupclose moss stitch hasn't failed to wow me yet--i absolutely love the texture it creates in different weights or materials. this cowl is currently available in a soft blend of lamb's wool and acrylic. you can see a bit more about this custom-knit neckwarmer here.
