Last fall Etsy sent me to LA for several shoots. While visiting old friends I was lucky enough to make the acquaintance of Hannah Kopacz of Made With Love By Hannah. What a treat! Her German chalet inspired abode, filled with twenty years’ worth of knick knack and ric rac treasure hunting, was a perfect fit for our new Etsy video series There’s No Place Like Here. Last minute we set up a shoot and I’m so thrilled we did. This colorful home was overflowing with vintage and handmade gnomes, figurines, mushrooms and veggie people. Even her studio shed was painted to look like a cuckoo clock.

Yesterday I had an excellent shoot at the Red Hook Labs with the talented Dustin Yellin. Dustin has a fantastic eye for unusual natural science oddities and salvaged treasures which lay everywhere. Between that and his incredible artwork there was plenty of eye candy to shoot for the There’s No Place Like Here – Dustin Yellin episode. It’s gonna be a doozy. Stay tuned.
