Monday Meetup Part 2 - Toppy Toppy Knits


I hope you are enjoying all the fun blog features lately! Today i want you to meet a talented knitter i met through the Hippy Peacenicks Group on Etsy, Coral from  Toppy Toppy Knits.  She makes unique, high quality handmade accessories!
 
Her  children items are beautiful, cute, fun, and comfy. 
She also offers great quality, style and business elegance for adults too! 

 "I love designing new accessories, like Cartoon Character Hats!"

She also makes Headbands, Scarves, Fingerless Gloves, Poncho Shawls, Sweaters, iPhone covers, Card Holders, etc.

Her Daughter whose name is Coral as well, makes all the jewelry. All her jewelry is made with attention to every detail and the best quality materials possible for her creations.


♥  What inspired you to start selling online? and how did you get started?
" I was used to sell among family and friends, then, one of my son's told me about Etsy, he helped me by taking the first pictures and my daughter set the shop. The name was chosen by my grandson."

 ♥  What is your most favorite piece you have made and why?
"I really love the baby sweaters. They are very delicate and based on vintage heirloom patterns. I used my mom
 handwritten notes to make them."

 

♥  What materials do you like to work with most? 
"You can name any yarn! I love knitting and crocheting.  The only thing that I have some problem with is crochet thread, I have had surgery in my right hand and can't really work with thin thread or a very small crochet hook."

 Of course i always have to ask some fun questions!
♥  If money were no object, what would you buy (handmade)?
"I love angels and  find this incredibly beautiful." (ed: It is gorgeous!!)

♥  If you could have any celeb buy from you, who would it be?  
"George Clooney! I would love him to wear one of my hats or scarfs." (ed:  how fun would that be!)

Welcome!

Well this is my first ever blog, I admit I am sooo new to this whole blogging thing. But, I thought I would give it a shot. I will mostly be talking about and showcasing many of the wonderfully talented etsians I have met and come across since joining back in September. I will of course show my new and upcoming items as well!

In some ways i still feel very new to Etsy, but in others, its quite like home! So many wonderfully friendly people I have met and become friends with, it's almost like a little etsy family. Lol well ok, not "little" lol as there are hundreds of thousands of us on there! But, you get the idea!

I hope if you haven't heard of Etsy by now, you will check it out -
http://etsy.com . It's a place for all things handmade and vintage. It's still considered somewhat new company I think, only being a little over 2 years old. But, I think it's a name that will soon be well known world wide and i am excited to be a part of it!

Please feel free to check out my little shop on there
http://missknits.etsy.com I am constantly updating my shop, adding new items daily! I am also in the forums or in chat often, so if you see me, please say hi! Thanks again for reading my little blog! I am still getting it up and running but do come back often! You never know what treasures you might discover!
