The holiday shopping season here at Anna Delores kicks off with Teascha from The Tea Rex on Etsy! One of my personal favorites, The Tea Rex offers some gorgeous, unique, versatile, and oh-so-comfy scarves made from the softest jersey and cutest fabrics ever.

Teascha's inspiration for her fabulous wares are pretty straightforward: "Sometimes I just see a fabric or a print and fall in love with it and that alone will inspire me," she says. "I spend a lot of time pulling fabric and trying to match it to something. I really like pairing things that you wouldn't normally think go together. I like my accessories a little funky and unconventional. I always try to make my final outcome something I'd be proud and excited to wear." Consequently, all her customers are excited to wear her accessories, too.

I was able to snag Teascha's attention before she became too busy with the holiday season, and you should too! Check out her shop ASAP to pick up the sweetest scarves on the Internet and you'll be able to cross quite a few people off your holiday shopping list. Lucky for you, you'll also get to snag some discounts while you're at it; Teascha told me, "I will be posting a pretty sweet coupon for Black Friday [on Facebook; "like" her now!] ...but it will only be available for a few hours. I will be posting a coupon on my Etsy page for Cyber Monday, but it won't be as good a coupon as the one that will be on my FB page on Black Friday."
So don't dilly-dally! No sleeping in after turkey for you.
Teascha describes her "workspace [as] out of control. I have stacks of fabric everywhere. At one point I tried to organize by color and print but I am constantly pulling fabric off my shelves in order to match it to other fabrics and I'm horrible at putting it back where it belongs. You would probably be terrified if you saw my sewing room."

Nope, I think I'd be pretty damn excited to witness the magic!
Finally, I asked Teascha for her thoughts on best bets for the holidays (since there are so many amazing choices in her shop, maybe this will help you in deciding where to start): "The most popular scarf has been the navy and white sailor stripe with antique gold. It's bold and trendy and looks awesome with everything. I have recently put out some new scarves, the 'versatile three-way scarf' and the 'leather lasso' scarf, which I think are so cute and fun!"

You'll get no arguments from me, Teascha! If anyone's looking to get Christmas presents for yours truly, I like the peach pinstripe fabric for a little pastel warmth during this mild California winter. ;)

Many thanks to Teascha for humoring my questions and making such lovely contributions to the handmade community!
Tea Rex is possible the best name in the entire world o_O Oh how I wish I'd thought of it first! Thank you for bringing the shop to my attention, I've recently found a passion in scarves - this will no doubt fuel it!
ReplyDeleteI know, Kim, I LOVE the name Teascha chose, even better since obviously it incorporates her name. :) Seriously, her scarves are amazing -- you won't be disappointed!
