Week of 10/09/2011 Featured Shop

I came across this shop on Etsy and felt it was well deserving of a feature.  These have to be some of the most unique and beautiful ear cuffs I have ever seen.  So I am featuring this week Thyme2Dream.

ABOUT THE STONES

I love rock ~ From the naturally heart shaped piece of Kansas River rock my boys found for me one day on a home school outing, to the lovely cool feeling of blue chalcedony or the magical shimmer of rainbow moonstone~ all stones become my friends when I work with them.

Wrapping and spiraling with wire and gemstones seems to be a natural combination for me…Most of my pieces are not planned, they just sort of happen as I play with the elements of the design.

I am also fascinated by the ‘personalities’ that different cultures and traditions have given gemstones through the ages, and often combine them with specific meanings in mind as a blessing to the person who will eventually wear them. Above all, I try to put a lot of love and joy into everything I create!

Fairy elven ear cuffs & jewelry handmade to order. Wedding tiaras, fairy jewelry sets, crowns for men, renaissance & medieval costume accessories are also available in my wedding shop and hubby Ian's circlet shop:

This Week's Featured Shop

This week, I'm featuring Rustic Carvings:

Meet Christine, owner of Rustic Carvings:

Hi! (waves) My name is Christine. I’m the one behind the computer, and in the garage, errr...workshop, making the items you see displayed via Rustic Carvings.

I'm happily married to a wonderfully brilliant man, and we have 5 dogs. When we aren't working, we're probably vacuuming. We also have the first addition of our two-legged brood, due this December 22nd. We're pretty excited.

I’m a CPA. I know, weird, right? You wouldn’t expect a CPA making and selling artwork, huh? Well, this is my "day job" now, and I'm happily content with designing, carving, sawing, sanding, and finishing....

To stay updated, you can check me out at:

If you like the imperfection of the world around you, aren’t troubled by the flaws and knots in wood because you see them as giving a piece character and definition, and are interested in unique, personalized, gifts, then you’ve come to the right place.

All of my designs are made out of reclaimed or FSC regulated wood. What is reclaimed wood, you say? It’s taking wood that has previously been used, or were scraps from another project, and “recycling” them into something desirable. I call it artwork.

Functional artwork. Rustic. Eco-friendly. Handmade. Character. Reclaimed wood. That’s what you’ll find here.

Week of 9/19/2011 Featured Shop

This week I am featuring Bramblewood Fashion Boutique from Etsy:

Hello! My name is Ashley. I'm twenty-one years old. A Christian. A stay at home daughter who is a home-school graduate who loved everything old-fashioned. I strive to dress modestly, but in a very feminine and modernized vintage way. In all I do, I hope to glorify God! Soli Deo Gloria! I also run a modest fashion blog called, Bramblewood Fashion. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

I grew up loving anything artsy. When I was growing up you would find me covered in paint, glitter in my hair, glue on my hands, singing in a hairbrush, and putting on plays for my family.

Now, I put all this creativity into my home business - sewing and crafting for you! I enjoy creating. In my shop you will find skirts that are modest - yet stylish and girlie, purses that hold everything a girl needs, earrings that take you to a far away place, dresses that are vintage-inspired, aprons that have a touch of elegance, and what ever else that strikes my fancy! :)

My store, Bramblewood Fashion Boutique, is dedicated towards modest fashions that are stylish for today's ladies. All skirts are unique, you won't find another one like them anywhere. I draft all my own skirt patterns. Everything in my shop is ready to ship. There is no waiting for me to make everything.
