I'm getting really excited for the upcoming Etsy + West Elm Pop-Up Shop happening next Saturday, May 25th. I dropped by for a preview Wednesday nite and the store is looking so summery and pretty (think sunsets and lots of flowers)! I wanted to take everything home with me. We wanted to give you all a sneak peek of the Etsy shops we curated for the event. West Elm is so supportive of local makers across all of their stores in the U.S., here in Canada and now in Australia and so I'm honoured to have been asked to curate a unique collection for this special day. Fun too, how things come together and you find common denominators. As I was looking through all the Etsy shops participating, I found a connection running through many of them; the sea and the mountains. How fitting for the west coast, and both such great themes for summer. Let's take a look!

Each of the featured Etsy sellers will be set up within the west elm store to share and sell their homegoods, jewelry, stationery and more.
