Come behind the scenes at Magpie Ethel for a #CraftRoomTour and see Laurie's studio in Portland, Oregon. I love that the space is entirely mine. I can make as much of a mess and craft away at a whim. I can close the door when I am done and don't have to worry about the mess I leave behind. I also have the majority of my supplies stored in my studio so everything is at arms reach.

At the exact time same that you find yourself endlessly scrolling through Instagram....That, my friends, is how I discovered the incomparable Magpie Ethel.

As "Magpie Ethel," Laurie Romanaggi has turned thousands of bits and bobbles into a successful vintage crafting business.

Magpie Ethel on Instagram: "So much fun hopping out of my studio lately. Lots of spun head crafting in that Easter mode. I use vintage spun heads and put these little scenes together using all kinds of tidbits (the majority are vintage). Headed to Etsy eventually (I’ll announce the date soon). Swipe for the fun. #magpieetheleasteretsy2024 #vintageeaster #vintagespunhead #thingsimake"

HALLOWEEN ETSY! Lots and lots of spooky fun heading to Etsy on September 13th, 5:30 p.m. (pacific time). A favorite holiday to craft for and lots more...
