I’ve seen many bloggers do Etsy seller spotlights before, and yet I’ve never done one myself; this isn’t because I don’t love Etsy…far from it; it’s just…I’ve never felt 100% compelled to blog about a seller before. That all changed when I made a purchase from WestArtAndGlass, although I can’t show you what I actually bought because the recipient doesn’t have their Birthday just yet…

All the pieces in the shop are created by the delightful Zena West who shares this fab little bio on her website…

“
My name is Zena West. I live in West Bridgford, a suburb of Nottingham in England, and I make glassy things. And to a lesser extent, arty things. Through the magic of the internet, I have sold these glass things to lovely people in Greece, New Zealand, Australia, Puerto Rico, 22 different states of the USA, Canada, Brazil, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland and Wales. I figure I just need a sale in Africa and one in Asia then my little slice of world domination will be complete… I also sell regularly to people in Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands, through participating in and organising local craft fairs.
I am 27. I am mildly obsessed with giraffes and Star Wars. I love cats, but they don’t like me. I once met Badger of “Bodger & Badger” fame. One day I want to open up a little glass/art/book/coffee shop and be my own boss. My worst vice is crisps, I eat on average 3 packs a day. Salt and vinegar Discos are the best. I live with my lovely husband/muse John, who can never remember how old he is, occasionally takes awesome photos, and hates cheese and Marmite. Weirdo. Still, he doesn’t grumble too much when he treads on a glass splinter.”

And although I can’t share my actual purchase with you, I can share some of the other delights that Zena has created.
