Etsy Shopping

Yes, I have a shop on Etsy, and I do love when people buy from me. But I also love to buy from others on Etsy. There are so many wonderful shops with amazing products. Here are but a few on my wishlist.

Perfumes from Loreto. I've actually bought from this seller before, and highly recommend her. Some of my favourite scents are Yellow Rose, Neroli, Liquid Sunshine (which was the first to run out, as I used it so often) and Mojito.

 

Peppermint sandwich cookies from Tookies. I love chocolate and peppermint, and these look beyond delicious.

 

Horus eye charm from Hint. This speaks to the mythology and Egyptology lover in me. 

 

Silhouette fused glass necklace by CCValenzo

I can just imagine this pendant incorporated into one of my own creations.

 Handmade shoes by SpiroCreations. There is something so basic about these, yet so wild. I want them!

 

TARDIS wallet/business card holder by CoolBeans. Cutest business card holder ever! Plus, it's the perfect size to hold my 4th gen iPod Nano.

Keys to Secret Cities bracelet. Yes, this is one of my pieces. If I didn't make key jewelry and found something like this in another shop, I'd want to buy it.

 

What did you do with your weekend?

I've been working on more art-themed jewelry and beaded objects for a gallery show, and just put the finishing touches on a  necklace inspired by Julie Taymor's Beatles-music film 'Across The Universe'. A wild strawberry shaped centerpiece done in crazy brick stitch on a black bead chain wasn't quite enough--so I added a 'fan' of black beads behind the green leaf part.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at a craft show that's reputed as one of the best on the East Coast. I haven't been to enough craft shows to comment on that reputation, but it WAS pretty nice. I saw floral wall plaques made of enameled metal nails, artisan soaps/bath products, sampled champagne jelly and stopped by the local bead shop, where I picked up some teal frosted teardrop beads, a yellow calcite donut and a pair of white quartz donuts. I already have an idea percolating for the calcite, and the quartz will probably become a bold pair of earrings.
