I Heart Etsy Fridays- Melanie’s Menagerie

Happy Friday Everyone! We are busy little bees getting ready for the flea market this weekend, but I did want to pop in and share one of my new favorite Etsy artists with you all, Melanie’s Menagerie. Melanie Nord Monsees, the artist behind this adorable shop, not only curates a collection of kitschy vintage finds, but creates the most fantastic needle felted animals. All of her creatures are one of a kind. I love the sweetness and personality they all possess! They are so stinkin’ cute! I totally adore that Melanie pulls her inspiration from vintage figurines. As many of you know by now, vintage ceramic animals are my weakness. I am head over heels for all of Melanie’s hand-made goodies! Here are just a few of my favorite items from her shop:

Aren’t they all just wonderful! I love them all, but I do think the vintage lefton inspired blue birds are my absolute favorite! I love the little whale too! It reminds me of a children’s book I have that is about a whale named bubbles. To see more of Melanie’s work visit her shop, Melanie’s Menagerie on Etsy Here. Also be sure to check out her blog Here. And you can find her on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Tumblr. I’ll be back next week with another lovely artist. Until then…

Happy Shopping!
