Are you ready for the holidays?!  I know for me I can't wait for this time of year to get here and then when it does it's like WAIT!.... Slow down!... I need more time! 

Here are some great items I have found on Etsy to share with you.  I will be posting as many as I can in the next few days and weeks.  Some will be from my shop and others from some of my favorite shops.  There is nothing like getting a special item picked out just for you. 
Who wouldn't love a pair of these beauties??  Created by UnlimitedCraftworks.  Hand Knit and just beautiful they are sure to please the pickiest of people.  There are many other colors in their shop as well as items like socks, gloves, hats and jackets! 


School's Back in Session!

Whew, what a Summer! Too busy to post. Now that school is back in session I just might be able to get my ducks in a row and get back to promoting the great artists on Etsy and Artfire.

So check back in the next week for some great finds!

Could it Get Any Cuter?!

I was lucky to stumble upon a truly unique and cute shop! Variation makes some of the sweetest bead dolls I've seen. Wonderful colors and styles that bring a bit of nostalgia and whimsy to these little beings. Best of all they are her original design! I love that.

Wonderfully photographed as well. Giving each life and character.

I love the vintage feel to her studio. What a great keepsake these would make. Pack one up in some retro gift wrap and voila!

In addition to bead work, she also knits, crochets, embroiders, sews, dabbles in bookbinding, letterpress, metalsmithing, collage, and digital graphics and animation. She think the dolls will ultimately transition into jewelry (coming soon!). Hmmm.. now we know that Variation name has merit!

Here are some of my favorites from her shop. Click the picture to be taken to the item in her Etsy shop.Like a little ballerina isn't she precious.

These two look like Snow Queens from the Nutcracker!

Here's a great way to makes someones day special. Send them this sweet postcard!
