Today's Finder       Get Etsy buttons for your blog or website here! June 7, 2009 This weekend's Get the Look: Decor was found while browsing through the Etsy Open Studios flickr pool. Manda's lovely studio space, colorful collection of fabrics and tidy, well organized supplies really stood out. Her UK studio is filled with inspiring fabric swatches, artwork, books and magazines that make working from home look both relaxing and enjoyable. Manda says she discovered her love for textiles while expecting her first daughter. Her interest in traditional quilting techniques led to the creation of her blog, Tree Fall Design, where she talks about the joys of crafting, decorating, and raising a family in an eco-friendly manner.  Manda also runs a successful Etsy shop at manda.etsy.com, where she sells quilts, soft toys and home accessories made from natural linens and printed cottons.  Visit the Etsy Open Studios flickr pool to view more photos of Manda's inspiring home studio.
