Thrifty Thursday: $10.00 or less!

I know a lot of folks are having to pinch pennies, and I know that a lot of you really want to support handmade but just don't have the bread to pass out all willy nilly, so without further adieu----It's Thrifty Thursday!!! Here are some interesting finds on Etsy that are clearance items or are in an affordable price range that I dug up. All are less than $10.00 (U.S) AFTER shipping! WHAAAAT?!? Yes, I said it!


I thought of a super-duper person who talks funny (you know who you are!) when I saw this set of 7 note cards with a nude woman riding a hippo. I love these! $6.75 after shipping.

Anybody who knows me, knows I have a thing for gnomes. I also have a thing for rescuing and repurposing children's books. I have a growing collection of much-loved books that I've rescued from the trash and from the local library that will be given a new life in the form of something else. These hair barrettes are definitely in that spirit! $6.50 after shipping

I am a HUGE fan of PaperSparrow on Etsy. (-!HUGE!-) So huge a fan I've been secretly lurking this shop for almost a year. Really, one of the best illustration shops on Etsy, in my opinion. This stationery pack is $10 including shipping!

Matroyshka!

Meet Myra Matryoshka, my newest fabric ACEO. She is the standard size for an ACEO (which stands for Art Cards, Editions, & Originals), which is 2.5 x 3.5 inches, the same size as most any other trading card, and they're meant to be traded and displayed by artists, art lovers and fans of the ATC/ACEO movement alike (just like any other trading card!)

Myra is number one in a set of 10 Matryoshka cards in this style. I will design each card using different fabrics, with each one's face and hairstyle being unique. Though she may resemble her sisters in this little Matryoshka family, Myra truly IS one of a kind! See her in all her original, undistorted glory in my Etsy shop!

She is available for $6.00 (US) plus shipping, details in my Shop.
