I haven't featured a giveaway from etsy for some times now, so here's one for you :) This one is courtesy of Ellembee, a fab etsy store who offers great selection of screen-printed tees with awesome designs that's hard to find somewhere else. The store is owned by Lisa from michigan who was recently laid off from her job as a bedding designer in California, and so she finally took the plunge and start her own clothing company (which i say is a good choice because her designs are fabtastic - that's "fabulous and fantastic" to you ;p).
Her shop is filled with tee-shirts, jackets, hoodies, tanks, scarves, dress, skirt and even onesies for the precious little ones. I even found a matching womens tee and onesie that could be really cute if worn together by a stylish mom and her daughter:


The chandelier is one of my favorite design on her shop, i love chandelier! :) She also has many other designs in sizes you want. Her awesome design inspirations came from nature.
She said "My mom is amazing with plants, and her house looks like a jungle! A lot of my designs came straight from the plants in her living room. I also love 'old world' looks. I think I developed a taste for the vintage look when I was designing bedding previously at a luxury bedding manufacturer".
And as for the screen printing that she uses to create her clothing she learned the basic skill at art school. She graduated from the Art Institute of California - San Francisco in 2002 with a BFA in fashion design.
"What I didn't learn in school I figured out through reading old library books and watching a lot of YouTube clips!".
Yep, youtube does bring you education, i agree with that ^o^
NOTE: Her price is affordable. And Ellembee tees are now available at 12 Oaks mall in Novi, Michigan. So if you live in the area you could go there to get your hands on ellembee directly. Lisa is also currently participating in an artists co-op called "State of Mind", it's on the upper level, in the Macy's court, from Oct 1st- Jan 31st.
