EtsySB and Coffee at the French Press

A rainy day could not stop local crafters and shoppers from attending the Coffee: Etsy SB Trunk Show at the French Press today. Twelve Santa Barbara etsy shops gathered together to share our handcrafted pieces with each other and the shoppers of city. It was a fun day with artsy people in a cozy atmosphere.


This fun display next to mine housed three shops.


Soft and pretty knits by the sweet b.


Green bags!! Sunday Girl Designs has reusable snack and sandwich bags, mesh produce bags you can take to the supermarket, and messy bags. All products are great to use in lieu of plastic bags.


I bought a set of mesh bags for my mom who mentioned wanting something similar for her produce :)


Leather cuffs by Stacy Lynn Designs. She also has recycled leather purses, and pretty vintage style aprons.


The aprons come as full cover-ups, half skirts, tiered, and in such great prints, too.


Lots of cuteness at Giggle Sparkle including vintage stickers, cutesy cartoon magnets, check book covers, wallets, and bottle cap magnets.


More cuteness in these bows and clips by Hair Bows by Robin. I spied a few Hello Kitty options, which was just awesome.


Fun charm necklaces and flowers by Twin Bella. Their chain options are silver, copper, brass, and they have lots of vintage charms and lockets.


Eco friendly and colorful prints on these creatures by cimmerii were a favorite. She makes owls, bunnies, birds, dolls. So cute!


Eco friendly is definitely a great thing, and another vendor who provided us with it was ecozuzu. Their apparel has fun art graphics silk screened on earth friendly pieces.


Super soft cashmere pieces by Voladora Design.


Statement earrings by Rogue Butterfly are bohemian and sweet, made up of lots of fun materials.


I loved these earrings.


AyaPapaya does feather extensions for your hair. A few girls were rocking the look, which was very fun.


She also had huge feather earrings, all of which look great on.


Hubs sometimes sat at (manned) my table. Below are a few of the details.


Changed the colors in my logo to match the entire display. It was attached to lots of colorful circles on my supply box.


Asymmetrical fire polished bead necklaces, beaded wreath necklace, and two large chrysanthemum and beads necklaces.


The mix and match earrings and rings were quite popular. Loved giving shoppers the opportunity to choose the colors and flowers of the rings and earrings.


Rainy Hello Kitty for a rainy day had to be part of my table.


Hanging from this branch display were leafie necklaces, flower wreath necklaces, and gold charm necklaces.


The popular camera charm necklace :)


Dangling earrings.


I heart the look of fire polished beads. Their shine and charm go well with the gold plated chain and flower.


And a new beating hearts design box for my jewelry. I think the sparkle adds just enough fun for the holidays :)

It was a great event and I'm so glad I was able to meet and greet with local SB etsy people. We've got a small community, but it's full of talented people with amazing shops. Hope you can check them out. Also heard there would be more events in the future, will definitely let you know :)
