October Blogger of the Month: SplendidLittleStars





When I think of Margaret’s shop, Splendid Little Stars: http://SplendidLittleStars.etsy.com, the first words that always come to mind are simply adorable!  Behind all her adorable “little star” creations is a very talented seamstress, artist, and jewelry designer.



Margaret’s shop is filled with the cutest hand painted toddler and children’s outfits, such as little dresses, onsies, hats, and snowmen socks.  A talent which she has perfected over the past 20 years.  Having grown up in the late 60’s, I am especially partial to all her tie-dyed children’s clothing as well.  Don’t see something you like – all you have to do is ask as she welcomes custom orders.  As Margaret says. “customer satisfaction is of primo importance to me”.  If you would like to learn about this talented artist’s art of hand painting and tie-dying techniques, I suggest you check out her blog, which is quite interesting!  http://splendidlittlestars.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-studio.html

If you think Margaret is just busy painting and tie-dying – think again!  She also has another shop on Etsy:  http://SparklyPark.etsy.com, which consists of some beautiful pieces of jewelry, which she has personally created and designed.  Her interest in jewelry designing started before her clothing business, where she, along with other artisans sold many different handmade items.


To Margaret, the best part of the business was not just selling her merchandise, but her experience with her most treasured customers.  I think Margaret brings a lot of these feelings with her as one of our “treasured” Etsy Blogger’s.

One special idea of Margaret’s is her offer to gift wrap your purchase, and enclose a note on one of her own handmade cards, and send it directly to the person whom you may wish to receive your purchase.
