Yesterday we posted about Etsy, the great online marketplace where you can find just about anything handmade by great artisans. Sweetbeets happens to be a wonderful store you can find on Etsy. Sweetbeets is owned and operated by Lisa Zuraw of Toronto.

Each of her designs are her own sketches and are all inspired by watching her children play (the name Sweetbeets comes from the nickname her husband would call their boys, cute!)

All Sweetbeets cards are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and are made here in Canada! A vintage printing press is used to create the great textures and designs. Sweetbeets cards are letterpress printed using vegetable-based inks.

Check out the Sweetbeets Etsy store to see all of the wonderful designs and to shop by clicking here, or visit the Sweetbeets site to see if you can get these beautiful cards at a store in your city, by clicking here.

As if she weren't busy enough, Zuraw also maintains a wonderful blog called Modeco Kids. She describes it as follows:

"Modeco kids is your source for modern and eco-friendly products for babies and children. We bring you fresh finds to make your job easier. Discover new indie designers and mompreneurs. We love to feature gear for kids that’s handmade with organic, vintage and recycled or upcycled materials. You’ll also find articles of interest to independent retailers such as merchandising ideas, reports on kids trade shows and retailer spotlights."
