Working this Weekend!

I've been a busy bee this weekend making lots of goodies for my shop and custom orders. The custom orders I made are totally different than what I offer in my shop so I thought I'd post them here for your viewing pleasure (hee hee)!

Moss Agate Gemstones, Boro Lampwork Sea Turtle, and a fine silver Starfish Clasp

Turquoise coin gemstones, fresh water pearls, and lampwork focal bead with s.s. toggle

Pink catseye beads, Swarovski butterly crystals, sterling silver heart charm and findings

Made for a toddler girl who loves pink!

I made this one a couple of weeks ago...Lucite flowers, crystals, brass link bracelet and findings

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Featured BESTeam member, Darling Dande Designs

I am proud to introduce you to a fellow BESTeam member, Kirsten, owner of Darling Dande Designs from Florida (one of my favorite states). She makes adorable handmade baby blankets, personalized bloomers, diaper covers, tutus, and clothing. Kirsten recently launched her online boutique website. She also makes handmade items for big girls like us!! She is a proud Mama to Dani and Declan. Her hubby actually came up with the name of her shop DANDE, a mix of her kids names! How cute is that!?

I have two nieces, one still a baby and the other turning two in May. So, this is exciting to find a shop that has a little of everything for your babes! Here are my favorites:

Party Tutu for little girls

Perfect for a birthday party, dress up, or just to have fun!

Little Girl's Bloomers or Diaper Cover

I love the owl on the bottom!!

Zippered Change Purse

Something you can tuck in a diaper bag, purse, or keep in your car :)

I hope you enjoyed meeting Darling Dande Designs!

It's a Marvelous Monday Featured Seller IMEON Design

As part of my Marvelous Monday, I am featuring an Etsy seller and fellow team member of BESTeam (Boosting Etsy Shops Team)

Meet Noemi from Portland, Oregon, owner of Imeon Design. This cool Etsy shop is filled with handmade paper goodness!! She makes invitations, announcements, cards, and other pretty paper items. I have to tell you something I learned when I read her Etsy profile, how she thought of her shop name. The name Imeon came from Noemi spelled backwards! Very clever!

Her creative process really shines through her creations. All of her cards and artwork seen in her shop are unique, because the cutting, printing, pasting and stamping are all done by hand. Take a look at some of my favorites...

Imeon Design is having a giveaway on her blog to win these

The winner will receive four paper fortune cookies, in the color of their choice (light or dark green, blue, pink, purple or red). Each cookie will be put in a kraft box and wrapped with red and white twine.

How cute are these paper fortune cookies?!? I love this idea. They're a great idea to tell someone big news in a clever way!

See the details on how to win these here.

It's a Marvelous Monday Featured Seller Miss Pretty Perfect

Before I start, I just have to let you in on a secret....I am addicted to purses. I can't even tell you how many handbags, wristlets, totes, and messenger bags I own. SHHHH, don't tell my DH, although, he probably knows and doesn't dare say anything about it!

I was thrilled to feature the cool handbag designer, La Toya from Miss Pretty Perfect. Her designs are over 10 years in the making. She studied fashion design in NC and NYC (how cool is that?) and was employed as a sewer for private label handbag designer. Her journey just began...

She started selling her handmade handbags on Etsy.com a little over a year ago. By the looks of her feedback, I'd say she is making her customers very happy, indeed!

Take a look at some of her cool designs. I'm in LOVE with these wristlets:
