Sharing Favorites with Oktak

My name is Aki, I'm a displaced Tokyoite in NYC. I live with my husband and 2 kids (10 & 5) in a tiny apartment in the heart of Manhattan. I am addicted to tea, coriander, buying clothes for my kids and the New York Times. I love bold patterns & colors, especially those found on vintage fabric from the 1960s and 70s.

There are so many beautiful things on Etsy. Though my favorites change constantly, here are eight items that I love at the moment, along with four favorites from my own shop, Oktak:

Snowy Branch Studs I already own 3 pieces from MiniCyn and love her clean & modern designs. Here's another pair that I want!

Wool Ruffle Scarf

Limited Edition Print I love Matte's art and I love cats. Perfect combination!

Linen Crochet Pincushion All of her pincushions are beautiful, but my favorite is this one.

Eco Lariat Necklace Can you believe this is made with fused plastic bags? Ingenious & beautiful.

2 Spoon Set

Red Biscuit Bowl Love the vibrant colors of Brigitte's work! I'd be happy to own anything from her shop actually :)

Fall Fruit Dress Mirjam's shop is one of the first shops I hearted on Etsy. She has such a great sense of color and style, as well as access to the most awesome vintage fabrics - and on top of that, she is super sweet! I never fail to mention her whenever someone asks me who my favorite Etsy sellers are.
