It's been a while since we dove into the deep dark Internet hole that is Etsy. They have this incredible tool to help you search locally, but most of what you'll find is... well, not incredible. Amidst a sea of communion cake toppers and LED tutus there are hidden gems that shouldn't go unnoticed. 

In the spirit of the summer, when retail slows for independent stores, we thought we'd take some time to sift through Etsy over the next few weeks and show you what's nice. First up, HelloChiqui Miami

HelloChiqui, "HelloChiqui specializes in craft kits of all varieties. Each kit is specifically designed for you to easily learn the tricks and trades to those handmade crafts you've always longed to create." Their Beginner Frame Loom Weaving Kit caught our eye. Woven art has been a noticeable trend for quite a while now, I saw them hanging in The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs and The American Trade Hotel in Panama City, but I've only found them around here in thrift stores and they're probably (totally, certainly) loaded with dust (and who knows what else). 

I'm mega into making my own. Consider my order placed, will update you later.
