Becky from Purdy Things!
Lacey: When I found you on Etsy, I fell in love with your items. I feel like I was drawn to them because crochet is such a classic skill, and your pieces are so modern and lovely. I love a good mix! Where do you pull inspiration for your pieces from?
Becky: It is a classic skill, and my grandma is the one who taught me when I was 6. My inspiration usually comes from color, I love mixing colors and making fun combinations, as well as classic ones. I also have an addiction to buttons, from fun and modern to vintage buttons. So many times I will design something around a button. I also love texture, and originality, so many of the designs in my shop are my own. I love too when I get a custom order with a color combination I never thought of! I had a friend who ordered a Rust hat with a Rose Pink flower... it was so beautiful!!
L: What is your favorite item in your shop right now?
B: My favorite item right now is probably my eco-friendly fingerless gloves!! Super cute for you, and GREAT for the environment!
L: Agreed! So cute & I love items that are "green" that don't look "green" ya know? My favorite has to be the grey newsboy cap with the pink flower. Ugg, I need that bad boy! Do you sell exclusively on Etsy or do you sell elsewhere also?
B: I do craft shows ALL around the Sacramento area and some in San Fransisco, I am in 2 local shops, and by word of mouth people are able to make appointments to come see what I have to offer.
L: Wow, busy lady! ALMOST too busy to blog, but somehow you're managing that too! I recently became a follower! When did you begin blogging, why & what is your favorite blog to read?
B: I started my blog, about 7 months ago, and I try to keep up with it! I wanted to have a place to not only show off my new designs, but to showcase my Etsy finds. There are SO many creative and talented people on Etsy, I want to show them off to!! Plus, give people a little insight to me. It's still very much a work in progress. I follow some great blogs... I of course love this one! My friend recently started one about love life, relationships and sex, but it isn't the kind of blog people are used to and I LOVE her outlook! I also LOVE Etsy's Storque.
How lovely is she, right? I didn't even pay her to say she liked my blog... yet ;)
