Its never been a secret that I love trees! From the paintings in my house to the listings in my shop, they are a huge influence in my life. For the fellow tree lovers out there, I decided that I would share some of my favorites starting with my own creation, "Earth" ceramic Tree of Life Necklace.

"Good Karma" - 3 Strand Buddha Bracelet

This past weekend I had a much needed break from everything! Luckily (yep I was happy about this....) my internet went out last Friday! I didnt get on etsy at all and had an amazing weekend! I spent some time creating designs for myself and had a blast!
My newest piece is this one titled "Good Karma". Its a 3 stranded beaded bracelet with a Buddha pendant. I love it!! The natural look of it is perfect for my style and I didn't take it off all weekend! I made a few more today and decided to list them in my shop!

You can find it HERE in my shop!

I think Ill take an "etsy break" every weekend :) Its amazing!

You Steal My Sunshine

Yesterday I was so blah and bored with everything that I needed to brighten up my day! I went through my pendant drawer and saw this abstract flower (or sun) pendant and immediately felt inspired to make something bright! So here it is, my newest necklace titled "Steal my Sunshine". The colors make me smile! :)

You can find it in my shop HERE.

My favorite Etsy Purchase

........so far. I have loved LOTS of the things Ive bought from Etsy, but this Radio tank I found at Sarstar77.etsy.com is by far one of my favorites! Im a huge fan of American Apparel (yes yes I know there is a lot of talk going on about the company but their tanks fit me best) and when I did a search and found this one I knew I had to get it! Its so cute and unique! It was shipped quickly and its just as perfect as it is in the picture! (Except I don't look quite as perfect as the model but hey, who does?)
I recommend this seller any day!

(FYI, thats not me, its taken from SarStar77's listing)

Find me on Flickr!!

Find me on flickr! Im just starting to really get into it, the groups are so much fun and I love seeing more into the lives of my fellow etsians! (Link below)

Putting a face to the designs!

Ive been making jewelry for about 15 years now but have always been too shy to put my face to my work! I always sold online and never let anyone know who I was. I have no idea why??
Finally this year I have learned to take pride in my work and put myself out there! The hardest thing was telling my boyfriend! He likes to make fun of me (playfully of course) for everything so I thought I would never hear the end of it! We live together so he was wondering why I was spending hours a day in my "Office"/ crafts room so I finally had to give in and show him my work! Much to my surprise he was very encouraging and PROUD! After telling him I was happy to tell anyone who asked, my parents were surprisingly proud as well.

It feels so much better to out in the open about my hobby/craft. Anyone out there who might be iffy about sharing their work with the world, think again!
Have a great weekend everyone :)

For your Teen!

Hello everyone! I cant believe that summer is almost over and Christmas is right around the corner! I decided to come up with a new style of necklace called the "Boyfriend". It was inspired by my 13 year old little brother who wanted me to make him a "Surfer" style necklace for his trip to the beach this summer! Its nicely priced at $10 so it can be a perfect gift for your son, nephew, or boyfriend! I plan to come up with many more necklaces like this before Christmas comes around!

Update: I thought I would include a picture of my handsome little brother in his "Boyfriend" style necklace!

Hello!

Well I figured I would give this blogging thing a try! Ive heard so much about it in the ETSY forums I figured why not? :) I love to create, I mostly use hemp but suprisingly rarely wear it anymore so Ive ventured into beading and other types of jewelry! My favorite new piece is a gorgeous stone put onto a sterling silver necklace and topped off with one of those little sterling silver Sparrow charms everyone is using right now! Check it out HERE and let me know what you think!! I made myself one too!

Take a look at my shop! :)
