Etsy Post: T-Shirts

Soooo, since I still don't have any crafting or refashioning news (though some may be posted soon), and I don't want to go on blabbering about how nice spring is, and I have been wanting to do this for ages - here is my second post about the wonders of Etsy shopping! The first one, if you remember, was on earrings, this one will be about T-shirts. Because I love t-shirts, and people on Etsy make lovely T-shirts! :)

First, here are the ones I bought during my autumn shopping spree (all pictures taken from the respective shops!):


















This is the wonderful Biorythmic Tee from Supastarr. It's white and pink and very cool. ;)
Supastarr are a lovely couple who, afaik, own a bookstore, and make these great screenprinted shirts in their spare time. And boy, what great shirts (and other stuff) they make!














This second shirt here is called the The Darkest Tree Tee. It is nice and long and short-sleeved like the first one, but I wanted to show the print in detail...isn't it simply amazing?
The shirt is black and the print is a sort of metallic pink, which just looks amazing. If I could wear it all the time, I probably would!

This final one...yeah, I have no picture of the shirt itself. But this is the fantastic print that is on it! I found this one at Lushbox.
For a literature student like me, this has got to be the best shirt ever. ;) I wore it to uni once...you should have seen the face of my prof when he noticed. :D
It's also white and nicely long and short-sleeved.






Now, after these three shirts, it seemes I caugh the t-shirt bug, because my spring shopping spree yielded the following:

Three more from Supastarr, because I just loved the first two so much! Plus, just look at them. They're fantastic. ;)


















This one is called Curly Tree, and I love all things spirally and curly, so I had to make it mine!
I also like trees. Trees are nice.
Unfortunately, the shirt arrived just when our weather turned warm, and I haven't had a chance to wear it yet. Maybe soon, when April turns nasty (as it should, being April).


















This is, obviously, called Read to Me. Can you guess how much my fellow bookreading and bookcrossing friends loved it? Can you guess how much I love it?
Also, yesterday someone read to me. (Without any prompting from the shirt.) Can you guess how much I really really like it now?


















And finally, my very much loved "Be a hero" shirt. What a great colour! And of course I like the print. Dare to be different, I say. ;)

But, I did not only buy shirts from Supastarr. I also bought a couple from another shop I had been lusting after, namely Ahpeele. Another lovely couple that makes the most amazing shirts - with Asian inspired designs, this time.
I can honestly say that, if I had the money, I could (and probably would) buy all the shirts (and hoodies) they have on offer.


















This one is dark grey with black print. The print wraps around the shirt...I have no idea how they do it, but it looks amazing. I love the length as well...and am very thankful that I can get shirts in this wonderful length from Etsy whenever I want to. The ones they sell at H+M etc always are sooo freaking short! :P


















And here, the last one (for the time being!). I ordered this one in black, but received a white version...which turned out to be great! The white one is soooo much better for spring. :)
The print on this one is really colourful! <3
(And also wraps around the shirt, and amazes me every time I look at it!)

So, of course there are other things I bought on Etsy that I haven't posted yet, but still, the next post should be about something I made myself, right? Well, fingers crossed and all that. ;)

Oh, and because someone asked - I probably should buy myself a cat, yes, and I would, but, eh, for all my love of cats etc, I am allergic. So I live off cat pictures on CuteOverload and the two tabbies my best friends call their own. My own cat...well, if a miracle happens and the allergy disappears. But right now...sadly not.

What a FANTASTIC set of t-shirts!! I can't even decide which one I like best. How on earth do you decide which one to wear each day? :-)

Have you ever considered that hairless cat breed? I believe they are perfect for allergy sufferers

Hey Barbara! I love the tee's!--Especially, "Read to Me"--how fun is that?!

Sounds like your life is busy and full and that you're enjoying spring as much as I am! (If you get a chance, pop over and see the new baby ducks, quack-quack.)

I wonder if you'll be free from school during the summer or if you'll be attending classes during those months, as well?

Anyway, good to "read ya".

Love, Lori DeLozier

Great shirts indeed! :) I especially like the grey one with the black print. But do you need to have paypal to buy stuff from Etsy?

Liebe Grüße,
