As one customer states it best..."I love being able to provide friends and family...and friends of family...and friends of friends with custom and handmade designs through cards, journals and photo albums that capture the very spirit of the person for whom they are made."
"To anyone who is thinking about going to a high end invitations boutique in their area....DON'T!"
Priya123 makes such realist flowers for your hair! Thank you to your mother for teaching you the beauty of these and for you in making such wonderful accessories to make an outfit sparkle."Making flowers is my hobby:). This shop is just the presentation of my flowers. I have inherited the art of sewing & designing from my mother who used to stich beautiful frocks, all my creations are dedicated to my mom. "These purple satin flowers are perfect for a finishing touch on a wedding hair style, a few curls and these... gorgeous!
"My grandmother left me many things when she passed away. I am always working on new projects created with her supplies to keep and remember her by. I love it! I wear her beads all the time!"
With the new popularity of e-readers, it's nice to see an artist sticking to the roots of simplicity with a memento such as a bookmark to hold your place in that great adventure or novel you are reading. The feeling of the pages and the ability to get lost in story... oh how wonderful!"My husband and I used to call our son Mr. Money Bags for finding loose change wherever we went. Then one day he passed a shiny nickel on the beaten black top without bothering to pick it up. His indifference made me sadly realize how nickels were no longer worthy to even the preschool pocket anymore."
Today Rose Glen is bringing us style..."I have always enjoyed creating and making my own clothes. In the past I made clothes for a local shop selling to plus size women which sadly has closed, so I understand the frustration in obtaining clothing that is fashionably and stylish, for those of us that do not fit the cat walk shape."
It's wonderful that not only are these adorable they are great for our environment as well!"...All my toys are made by hand using only Eco-friendly felt from recycled post-costumer plastic bottles. I design all my toys from scratch, I made the sketch, then I draw the shape pattern, I select the textures, cut the pattern and then I sew it! All my toys are non-toxic, non-allergic..."

"The back of the bag has been quilted in a diamond patten and features one of my favorite fabrics from the 'Pretty Bird' collection by Pillow & Maxfield for Michael Miller Fabrics. Pretty colors such as Apricot, Tangerine, Raspberry Red, Scarlet, Shamrock, Espresso make this bag an asset to any wardrobe."The quality of work that Sue at Antiquebasketlady is amazing! And each design is so cute!
"I am an artist, first and foremost, but have put away my paint brushes for the time being as I am taking a break from art - in the meantime, I am loving my newest hobby of making clay pendants, earrings, bracelets in various designs that closely resemble my painted artwork."I have to disagree with the statement that she has taken a break from art as this Dragonfly pendant is a work of art! Please take a peek at all of these wonderful pieces...
"My jewellery is designed, 'on the board', without any previous ideas or sketching. It just happens as I go along and that is my biggest thrill...seeing what materialises from the various colour, shape and texture combinations."Below features a splendid Chunky Jade, Jasper & Agate necklace which is made up of chunky nuggets of Jasper and rectangles of olive, yellow/green Jade, set with tiny gold Czech glass beads, decorative links and handmade birds nest silver beads with a handcrafted hammered fastening and finished with a dangling yellow/cream chunk of Agate. I love the earth tones of this necklace!
"What started out with making a necklace to match a dress I had has just grown & grown. From posting a few pictures on Facebook to starting my own Etsy shop, I'm enjoying every minute of this incredible journey."The teal and black necklace below is just one example of Laurie's stunning pieces. It has circles of teal blue & black agate contrast with black onyx cubes that have been drilled diagonally so they lay on edge. A few crystals add some sparkle, and silver-plated chain finishes off the necklace back to the barrel clasp. Wow, perfect accessory for a night out on the town I think!

"My journey making accessories began 17 years ago after randomly creating a pin of a city skyline. My mom quickly snatched it and wore it to work. Shortly after, her coworkers were asking to purchase pins and my business was born."Using light weight metallic plastic she creates some adorable pins that would make great additions to any blouse or sweater!
