PLUSH LIFE!



What's Plush Life? I hear you ask...

We're a new Etsy team, all UK, all Plush makers.

What's a Plush? (funnily enough, that's the first question I asked our group!)

I suspect there are many many answers - we decided a plush is primarily cute and soft, though not necessarily cuddly. I've made an Etsy Treasury to showcase some of our members, and other UK plushies I love. If you'd like to join our team, please get in touch with CuteDesigns

You can read our profile here (scroll down to the bottom of the page)

Please come visit my Plushie Treasury (click here) and fall in love with adorable UK plushies!

This is...

Made on Fifth Street, from Zibbet (who really does live on Fifth Street!)

Favourite colour?

I have 2. Chocolate brown and turquoise. They each make my heart smile.

Favourite smell?

For sure coffee. It is comfort and survival all wrapped up in one glorious scent.

Favourite place?

My new house in the country. We are gutting it and redoing it with plenty of repurposed items and unique characteristics. I just love the abundance of possibilities there.

Favourite sound?

Either Worship music or silence.

Favourite way to spend your time?

I love to spend my time reading, visiting with friends (over coffee of course) and treasure hunting (others might call it junking).

Favourite item in your shop of all time?

My matryoshka dolls. Especially Abigail.

Abigail


Why?

I just love the fabric I used to make her. Plus my dolls are really adorable and unique.

Favourite shop that isn't yours?

Aidan's Attic

camera strap from Aidan's Attic


Why?

I just love her camera straps. I ordered one for my mom and it was well made and very pretty.

What has been the most useful lesson you've learned so far that you'd like to pass on to our readers?

Well I have not learned a lot of successful tips for marketing and such. But one tip I do have is be kind and help others out.
