Memento's Etsy Feature Friday

I’m very excited to share with you one of my favorite Etsy Shops in Memento’s Etsy Feature Friday. I had trouble deciding which shop to write about first. I have had a list running in my head that I wanted to share I just haven’t had the time or chance to do it. To start I had to make an excel spreadsheet with all the shops that I want to feature. Then I had to categorize them and narrow down my first choice. I now I am very AR. I like to be organized and make lists. This way I can keep track of when and who I featured and what type of shop. Before I reveal the shop I thought I would answer why I am doing this. There are so many amazing artists that make all kinds of things on Etsy. All you need on a desert island is a laptop, internet and Etsy! Well maybe a credit card and UPS to deliver your great finds. I want to use the Memento's Etsy Feature Fridayas a way to showcase shops that for the most part don’t have huge sales volume and have items that might be different than what everyone else has. If I think a shop is neat maybe others will too.

Drum roll Please…

Memento’s Etsy Feature Friday Shop is Alynn The Design

Alynn The Design creates one of a kind custom name art. She is so very talented and her designs are amazing. When I received the name art for Liberty and Maverick I was blown away. I told Alynn I would write about her on my blog and I apologize that it has been 2 years. I told Alynn things that I wanted for each of their names and she created the most perfect piece of art.

Liberty’s has some princess and dress up. As a 4.5 year old she loves dress up. I also wanted some American and Liberty parts to it. Notice the Liberty bell in the letter e? I love it. I put it in a 8 X 10 frame and it sits on a bookshelf in her room.

Maverick's has airplanes which at the time we didn’t know what he would be into and at 9 months old he could spot an airplane. He is 2 now and loves them. The theme was perfect with some American, Airplane, and Camo. The pictures are beautiful but when you see them in person they are truly a piece of Art. They also have a birthday cake on one of the letters with their birth years. If you look closely it looks like I had a very short pregnancy with Maverick and Liberty both being born in 2005. I sent Alynn the wrong date for Maverick.
