And as expected, everything is very beautiful and tasty.
Sarah Jessica Parker has a passion for fashion, and it's no wonder she also means good taste at home. So when Etsy asked her to judge the 2023 Etsy Design Awards with trend expert Dinah Is Johnson, we couldn't support the perfect partnership. The couple chooses their favorite item on Etsy from 150 finalists (chosen from thousands of submissions from around the world!), and the winner receives a cash prize along with many other perks.
Of course, much like SJP, the grand prize has to be a fashion item (this awesome vegan cactus leather bag), but we're so impressed and excited about such a clever interior design option that we felt the need to pounce too. To celebrate these little artisans and their craft. Best of all, they are SJP approved, which makes them even more desirable!

Handmade ceramic planter with chain
We love the story of this Etsy shop: The owner is from Syria and has an engineering degree After moving to Canada, she discovered her love for pottery and started making her own pottery, inspired by ancient culture techniques. We love that this planter has drainage holes and a saucer, two things that are often missing in flower pots. (And we're still not missing that chain that looks vaguely like a purse...hey SJP!) $137, terrosostudios.etsy.com
Interactive dandelion lights
This innovative lighting masterpiece (yes, lighting actually) was technically chosen by a previous Etsy winner. Blowing out a dandelion "seed" or piece of felt makes the light shine! Because it's battery operated, it's easy to transport from room to room. It emits a nice soft light, making it the perfect night light. $191 mozidozen.etsy.com
Ifeoluv wall art
Very accessible and unique art?! Yes! Illustrated by Dorcas Magbadelo, this Giclée captures the beauty and strength of black women, which is Dorcas' mission through all of her art. And like the other works, it bears a Yoruba name, which pays homage to Dorcas cultural identity. From $54, dorcascreates.etsy.com
1970s After Lense Glass Lounge Chair by Adrian Pearsall
This chair shocked us and confirmed our prediction that the '70s would make a comeback. To be clear: it's vintage, unique and not cheap, but we want to include it in the award because it underscores the sustainable direction consumers are taking; They buy more used treasures. Amazing for this planet! And this chair proves that not all antiques are dusty and boring. You can really find a lot of pearls there! $6400, abtmodern.etsy.com
Individual wooden portraits
Continuing the sustainability theme, this Etsy shop owner and artist uses his carpentry skills to reclaim wood cut from fallen trees and turn it into custom works of art. His custom portrait is adorned with intricate wood carvings that he carved himself! They make a great honeymoon or housewarming gift - we love how the rustic charm will add instant warmth to any room. From $495, texashoover.etsy.com
