Dirt Road South



I was browsing the net for a few special

"just because" gifts for my daughter in law,

when I stumbled on this

Etsy Shop....."Dirt Road South".

I have to be honest the name caught my attention and I had to settle my curiousity and find out just what was behind the name. Talk about a difficult decision...whew! There were so many entriguing items. I wanted them all!

Lori is certainly "one clever Artist!

I so enjoy her creativity!!!



A perfect match for the Black Skull
and Crossbones on Hot Pink Pendant!
This cute little skull and crossbones ring measures
just under an inch from the top of the hand-stamped,
resin-coated black skull on hot pink hand-painted wooden base
to the bottom of the silver-plated adjustable ring
and is approximately one inch wide.



These little bobbies are so cute,
and add a bit of pretty to any outfit!
Measuring roughly half an inch each,
these bright hot pink acrylic roses
are securely attached to silver-plated
standard size bobby pins.
Pick some up for your favorite little girl,
or your favorite big girl
that refuses to grow up!



One of a kind original artwork you can wear!
This hand-painted pendant measures just
3/4 of an inch wide
and is approximately 1 7/8 inches tall
with the silver plated bail included.
Hot pink and rich, chocolately brown swirl into each other
for a unique and one of a kind design
that reminds me of neopolitan ice cream.


Here are just a few of the many items currently for sale at
Dirt Road South!






A Message From Lori:


My name is Lori... nice to "meet" you! Born and raised in Virginia (Colonial Heights proud!), I've called South Mississippi home since 1994. I make stuff, I break stuff, but I don't ever take stuff because you know what they say about karma. I'm lucky enough to be supported in my artistic endeavours by an incredible support group of friends and family. I have 3 amazing kids, and if you don't believe me they'll be happy to tell you just how fabulous they are!

I'm constantly creating, and I pride myself on design, craftsmanship and quality. I'm into recycling, upcycling, bicycling. Okay, so not so much the last one... I don't even own a bike. But I like them. I like lots of stuff... all sorts of stuff.

And if you haven't gotten enough of me here, you can also find me here:









... and possibly a few more places as I do my best to infiltrate the world wide interwebs!



Lori has a birthday coming up.....Why not stop by, http://www.dirtroadsouth.etsy.com , and wish this creative artist a
"Happy Birthday" on August 18th......
I bet you find something you just can't resist while you're there!


Thanks for stopping by!


and remember.....



Bloom

Where

You

are

Planted!



Hugs!

Karen

  4. She was so surprised that I could find such cute things that are just what she loves, too! She rec'd them on the day I arrived in Cleveland so I helped her put the pins in her hair for work. They looked absolutely ADORABLE!!!! She didn't realize at first that you had "handmade" the pendant...she was in AWE!!!
