Home decorating....

Ok, so it has been a while...I admit we have been so busy, and I am just learning how to use the blog :)
We are currently in the first stages of building our first home, which is very time consuming. I've been looking on Etsy for some decor ideas and the following items have caught my eye....

I just love this cushion from Joom's etsy store. The screen printing is beautiful and I love the colours.

My daughter would love this decal from Michelle Christina's shop on her wall. She loves anything pink & girly especially hearts & butterflys.

iszle. What the?



It all started in June 2008. Over a few glasses of chardonnay with a few close friends who were selling amazing hand crafted jewelry thru a craft site named etsy (check out Emma's amazing items
stelladesigns.etsy.com). With my gorgeous wife at home with our 2 year daughter, she was looking for something to do from home. Esty was exactly the type of home business we were seeking...we researched products on esty and in July 2008 decided on scrabble tile pendants and opened our very first store thependantfactory.etsy.com.
Our designs were a hit, so much so that wholesalers requested additional product lines. With that in mind the brand 'The Pendant Factory' no longer represented our offering and so we developed iszle
The store has really opened up a world of possibilities and new networks(some now close friends - you know who you are) from all points of the globe."
Much of our sales are now direct to retail stores throughout the US and Australia.
There are many people we would like to thank, with that in mind we would like to use this blog to profile those esty artists who supported and continue to inspire us and to keep you posted on our new products / promotions.
