Spotlight On...Czappit


This week we are featuring another great member's shop from our team, czappit, owned by Jessica Czapp.  If you're a fan of Dr. Seuess's Grinch, you'll definitely want to check out this shop, A.S.A.P.

Baby Grinch Feet

Jessica opened her Etsy shop on Black Friday of 2011 and she hasn't regretted it one bit. In fact, her shop has been doing so well that at times she wasn't sure she could keep up with all the orders coming in.  Who knew her husband wasn't the only huge Grinch fan out there?

Jessica attributes her love of knitting to her grandmother, who taught her to knit.  One day, "while on vacation I stumbled onto a beautiful yarn shop and was exposed to knitted wool, that had been felted,crushing the fibers together making a dense tight fiber. I was fascinated and in love with that technique right away," explained Jessica.
Grinch cuff
Jessica started out with Grinch feet, but now makes fingerless gloves, scarves, spats, collars, and a few other items. She once even had a custom order for Grinch eyebrows!  Her work is all original and she can make items for babies all the way up to men's sizes, no pattern needed here.

So, where can you find Jessica and her Grinchy goodies?

She usually can be found at the Chesterton Tea, but high school graduation takes priority this year (her son's). However, she will be at The 49th Annual National Apple Harvest Festival near Gettysbugh, PA in October and in November, she will be at the Dover OSC Craft Show in Harrington, DE.

If you're interested in finding her Grinchy goodies and you happen to be near Ocean View, DE, stop by her parents' restaurant, the Ocean View Family Restaurant, and make sure you get some good eats while you're there. It's a favorite spot for the locals.

If you want to follow Jessica online, you can find her on facebook (jewelrybyjess) and her blog, (MS. JESS.) and her Etsy shop (czappit).

And just because...

Spotlight On...Oriental Whispers


The Delaware Etsy Street Team proudly presents Kelly Martin from OrientalWhispers as our featured member in the spolight.  Kelly is a self taught artist, and is teaching herself Japanese ink-painting or Sumi-e. While you can find sumi-e in her shop, there are items that reflect her variety of hobbies and interests. Everything in her shop is painted or photographed by Kelly, herself.  Below is just a sampling of the items you can find in her shop.


(Hedgehog Sumie Greeting Card, Chinese Calligraphy Wine Glass, Fern Kokedama, Butterfly Photo Print, Dipped Wine Glass, Asian Calligraphy Vase)

 In her own words:

 I have always been intrigued by how effortless many Asian paintings look (even though they are not) and have dabbled at teaching my self the techniques of brush painting. While in a craft store to get supplies for brush painting I happened upon some glass paints and I grabbed a few and couldn't wait to get home to try them out on some old glasses. I enjoy learning new techniques and working with different mediums while trying to impart some Asian flair into my items. 

After learning about Etsy from a friend it took me about two years to get the courage to decide to open up my own shop, and I have been on Etsy for about five months now.

I recently was a vendor at my first craft show and I will be attending another one on April 13 at the Elkton High School in Maryland.
