This week’s Etsy Adore feature and giveaway is from LMNOProducts. Check out what Lauren has to say and what you can win!
Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Lauren, and I’m a 26-year-old Marylander with a dog, a blog, and a reality TV addiction.
How did your shop come about?
I had been buying on Etsy for about a year when it occurred to me that I should open my own shop. I started off making a lot of jewelry, but after a couple months I began decoupaging ceramic tiles and selling them as coaster sets. The coasters gradually became the main focus of my shop, because they are fun to make, and I enjoy searching for different papers to use.

What has been the most rewarding part of opening your shop?
Because I spend my days at work writing and editing technical documents, I like being able to come home and use the right side of my brain at least a little before I turn on the latest Real Housewives episode and stop using BOTH sides of my brain for the day.
What is your favorite item?
I love my “Blackberries” coaster set. The design is pretty and modern, and black-and-white is one of my favorite color combos.

Name three favorite Etsy shops.
Wow–I have exactly 413 shops in my Favorite Sellers list right now, which is a little ridiculous. Picking three is going to be tough.

- I’ll start with my sister Kelly (luvliek.etsy.com). She does graphic design and digital art. It’s good having another Etsy addict in the family, because I get awesome presents for Christmas and my birthday!
- Shower Treat Soap (showertreatsoap.etsy.com) is another favorite. If you have sensitive skin or eczema (and even if you don’t!), you NEED to try her Goatmeal soap.
- Lastly, my dog Pancake loves his collar and leash set from The Mod Dog (themoddog.etsy.com)! He has this dinosaur design.
Lauren is offering one of my lucky readers a set of coaster from her shop!

My first choice would be the multi-colored fern fronds as they would go with anything but, truth be told, I like them all. I no more than got there when my creative mode kicked in and I began thinking about all the ways these could be used besides as coasters. Hot plates, wall art, make-up holders just to name a few.
