My Newest Creations!

So I saw a crocheted wire necklace at a local bead store a couple of weeks ago, and decided that I wanted to learn how to do it, so I did!! I have made a couple of items so far, and am really happy with how they turned out! Here are a couple of pics:

So what do you think?

Feature Time!!

With it being a holiday weekend, I've decided to do a mega-feature including 6 shops again! So without further ado, I bring you....

#1~Kubera Cove

This great shop is full of amazing crystal clusters! And when I say 'amazing' I mean REALLY Amazing! There are so many really cool rocks to be found here, but this one is one of my favorites! Spectrolite Crystal Cluster!

#2~Sea Jewels

This is yet another fellow jewelry shop on etsy, and a great one at that!! She has beautiful pieces that I hope you love as much as I do! Here is a lovely necklace called "Earth and Sky Necklace."

#3~Muse Silk Paintings

Angel Ray has a talent that I didn't even realize existed until I saw her beautiful shop! Who knew that silk scarves could be hand painted? She has so many gorgeous designs that it is definitely hard to just pick one, but here is the one I want to share with you: "Merlot Symphony"

#4~Lazulibluecreations

This shop is full of beautiful and unique handmade women's clothing. This wonderful artist loves to make unique, feminine and flattering pieces, with a big focus on beautiful colors and funky vintage inspired prints. Here is one of my favorites from her shop called "Brown and Crimson Flower Print Skirt."

#5~Able Mabel

This is such a cute shop full of adorable things. They have things for babies, as well as adults that "find the fun in functional." One of my favorite items is called "Patchwork Blanket with Minky for Baby Boys." It is adorable!! I really want a girl version!!

#6~Knits Crochet and More

Wonderful knitted and crocheted items of all kinds!! I really love this "Olive Freeform Scarf." It looks so nice and cozy, but also has some great unique elements to it!!

Be sure to check out these six amazing shops to see their other wonderful items, and have a fabulous Labor Day Weekend!!

About My Openhouse!

So I realized that I hadn't updated you all on how my openhouse went. So here's the update!!

I was very pleased with how it turned out. I didn't have many people come, BUT I had a 100% sale rate, so I can't complain about that!! Also I got a 4 custom orders to keep me busy!! So all in all I would say it was a successful first openhouse. Hopefully I will have many more to come!

Here are a couple of pictures of my display. They aren't the best pictures, but it gives you an idea of how I had everything set up.

I Won Again!!

Man do I love giveaways, especially when I win!! I entered a giveaway from My Watercolor Dreams and won a free print of one of her original water color paintings. I chose "Laundry Day" because she makes laundry day seem like such a happy thing, and in my world it is NOT!! So I figured that I would hang it up in my laundry area to cheer me up when I am doing the dreaded chore of laundry!!

Check out this great shop for more fabulous water color paintings!!

I LOVE Trades!!

So a couple of weeks ago I did my first trade with this amazing shop: Adorn

I traded her a necklace and bracelet set for these adorable bows for my baby girl!!

Pink Korker Bow

Little Lady in Red

Dark Pink Gerbera Daisy

I love these bows, and am so excited for my baby girl to be born so that I can use them!! Make sure you check out this shop for more cute, cute bows and things!!

SIX Great Etsy Shops!!

So since I slacked on the features last week I figured I'd play catch up and do six in one post today!! The first shop for this mega-feature is...

The Sitting Tree!!

Elizabeth offers unique, high quality, handknit clothing for babies and adults. She has some very warm and cozy items in her shop, but one of my favorites is this amazing little hoodie for an infant. It has a zipper in the back!! How awesome is that! I don't think that I've ever seen a hoodie with a back zipper, but I love the idea! Plus this color is just so vibrant, how could you not like it? It is called "Blueberry Hoodie."

The next amazing shop for today is called......

The3Maries!!

This shop is full of great vintage items, as well as some wonderful handmade items. One of my favorite items in this shop is a vintage print called "My First Dance" by Maud Humphrey Bogart. It would be so cute in a little girl's room.

#3 is beberagz!!

This shop gets me SO excited for my little girl to arrive! This shop has so many adorable little crocheted hats and things. I had a very hard time picking just one picture to post, but finally decided on this little beauty called "Reanna."

#4 is Katie's Basement!!

Katie is a very talented fellow jewelry designer. She has some absolutely beautiful pieces of jewerly for sale in her shop. One of my favorites are these fun dangle earrings called "Crystal Earth Dangles."

#5 is Chantelle Nicole Designs!!

Chantelle is yet another amazing jewelry designer on etsy! She has some great sterling silver and copper hand-stamped jewelry in her shop. One of my favorites is called the "Tree of Growth Name Necklace." I love the simplicity of all of her designs.

And last but not least for today is......

Yarnspirations!!

This shop is filled with great fiber creations as well as some awesome soaps and lipbalms. As with all of these shops today, I have several favorites from this shop, but I've decided to include this very warm and cozy scarf called "Fiery Popcorn Scarf."

So that's it for today's feature! Hope you like these shops and go check out their other items!!
