When online stalking is a good thing!

For the Writer in Your Life

by Curator Beatrice on November 19, 2009

Is there a writer on your holiday gift list? Not surprisingly, Etsy has a plethora of items that would make any aspiring writer thrilled. Writing is all about the intimate solitude of creation and the love of the written word; the items in this exhibit reflect just that.

For the Writer in Your Life

This civil war style leather field journal is the brainchild of Sweet Dreamers Journals, and it comes with a matching pocket journal. Both open in a classic envelope style, and I can picture a messenger in 1862 somewhere between Gettysburg and Vicksburg with this tucked in his knapsack.

What happens when a vintage book falls in love with a designer handbag? This fabulous literary carry-all by Spoonful of Chocolate:

For the writer looking to her literary heroes for inspiration, you could do no better than Kirby’s print “Miss Austen”:

Ironically enough, I can hardly find the words for The Black Spot Book’s “Autumnal Library ” necklace. I would die to have this around my neck!

Every writer needs the practical tools of the trade. A good starting place is this three piece White Birch bark desk set, large enough for a good number of writing implements and just enough jelly beans to help push your way through writer’s block. By New Hampshire Woods Creations:

Speaking of writer’s block, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it better represented than by Jennifer Mulcahy in her digital collage.

Once you’ve plowed through it, though, and reached the final product of your literary endeavors, shouldn’t you have something like this ready? Behold Sewlutions by Amo’s leather manuscript cover:

Enjoy your weekend, Stalkers!

You guys! I am cracking that you, me, and Cloudery all independently found and included work from Jennifer Mulcahy in the past week or so!

Really? You know, when I stalked this exhibit I kept thinking I recognized the shop name. Clearly I found it through Violet and Cloudery!

Jennifer: this is an Etsy Stalker first. I wish we had an award to give you. :) Your work is amazing.

Anyone out there who does not have a writer on their gift list–I’m a writer! You can get them for me!

Seriously, great collection as always

That digital collage is so amazing.
I’d kill to have any handbound journal from Etsy. They are all so gorgeous.
