Kiwis on Etsy!

I thought it was time to feature some of the amazing etsians from New Zealand- even though the name of this blog is the Australian Etsy Blog, I think it would be nice to feature some kiwis as well. Actually I was born in NZ, so it's even more appropriate :)

Navy Merino Beanie by NaturalStar

It's funny, I've only recently started to look through the New Zealand items on etsy (I don't know why I didn't think of it before)...and I've already got my eye on so many things...especially snuggly things!
