Hey there!! I know I mostly talk about books and writing on my blog, but today I’m changing it up and talking about… you’ll never guess… Etsy 😉 It’s one of my favorite places to find beautiful and practical gifts, so I thought I’d tell you about some shops I enjoy.
A few notes before I begin:
- I haven’t purchased something from all of these shops.
- This post is not sponsored by or affiliated with any Etsy shop or owner; I decided to do it all by myself and won’t make any profit from it.
- Photos of products were found at each shop; credit to shop owners.
- I’m doing this around Christmas because many of you might be looking to buy gifts, but it’s also kind of late for shopping, so some of these items might not arrive by Christmas. (Doesn’t mean you can’t still support these shops, though!)
Okay, let’s do this!
the silver eye // laura hollingsworth
ABOUT: Laura Hollingsworth is a Christian illustrator. You may know her work from the cover of Kara Swanson’s Dust or the official Keeper of the Lost Cities character art, and she also posts amazing fanart for Ashtown Burials, LOTR, and many other series/stories that I love. In addition, she writes a webcomic called The Silver Eye which I really want to read! Her Etsy shop features prints of her art.
MY FAVORITES: Silver Eye wall calendar // Pevensie portrait postcards // Lunar Chronicles portrait postcards // Jordan Peterson print (she likes Jordan Peterson too, ahhhh)

I think this has helped me find a gift for a mentor (she’s into Jordan Peterson–might just have to get her that print…)

Whoa, I had no idea Laura Hollingsworth did the KOTLC art, but that makes so much sense, ’cause when I stumbled on her Instagram page, I remember thinking, “Hey, this looks like the art from KOTLC.” XD
I think this is a cool idea, btw, which I should totally adopt for my own blog.
One of my favorite Etsy shops is https://www.etsy.com/shop/MirkwoodScribes I think you’ll like her stuff. 😉
