Kristen Duke Photography

We all know how important photography is to your Etsy site.  It's the reason someone buys or passes up your item.  Great photography gets you featured in treasuries, blogs and provides much needed attention.  Even if you make the most breathtaking item, it won't sell unless the picture is equally spectacular.

Back in January, I was contacted by a photographer looking for unique clothing items for clients.  After checking out Kristen Duke's website, I was more than excited to send her something.. anything...everything!  Drooling at the idea of having professional photography for my onesies, I sent her a stuffed box.

Here is the first round of photos featuring one adorable model, The Groucho, Orange Love Bus, The Etch a Sketch and The Cupcake.  I am positive I got the good end of the swap, these photos are amazing.

Spotlight on Cool Tricks & Giveaway!

Head over to Cool Tricks to see some of the most fantastic creations on Etsy.  Everything in this shop seems transported from a different realm, one of fantasy and dreams.  It's no surprise that the creative mind behind this store had an extremely imaginative childhood.  Thankfully, she's maintained that sense of wonder and infused it into her shop.

Okay, let's check out the goods.  First up is Fern.  She's an adorable (and intricate) doll.  Part batik, part patchwork and part quilt - this is no ordinary plushie.  Fern really is a work of art.   

  

Not only does Toni sketch, create and test each item, she also designs many of the fabrics that go into her work.  You can purchase some of the limited edition fabrics here.  I obviously have a love for elephants - but this "pink elephants" fabric is to die for.



Last up, is the PB&J quilted hot pads.  That's no ordinary jelly - it's huckleberry jam.  Not only would I love to have this set in my kitchen, I would love to have it as baby distraction while I cook.  It's a double duty item - priceless!


Want to win the giveaway from Cool Tricks?  Head over to her shop, return here and tell us your favorite item.  Your entry gives you the chance to win your choice of one reversible bib or pot holder.  Tweet, FB or post this to your blog for an additional entry.  This giveaway will end March 9th at 9:00 P.M.  The lucky winner will be chosen via random.org.
