Take advantage of this great special Before its gone!

A message from Debbi:

"My Name is Debbi Andersen and I have been self employed since 2001. I started Charms N Things due to the overwhelming popularity of Italian Charms! I started selling them at kiosks and events in 2008 and my inventory has grown steadily ever since!
I am able to order custom charms with any picture or saying on them. These custom charms are slightly more expensive but well worth it! However, if you are interested in ordering 10 + of a certain custom charm you will get a discount on them! This is an amazing option when offering a fundraiser or in order to focus on certain groups/ schools/ events etc.
I am dedicated to customer service and making sure my customers are happy! "

Happy Holidays!

WABI BROOK STUDIO

WWW.WABIBROOKSTUDIO.ETSY.COM

Embrace your love of the land with nature-inspired,

eco-friendly, fine art and artisan jewelery from Wabi Brook Studio. Indulge your individuality with hand-crafted designs which

reflect the beautifully simple organic shapes and colors of nature. Many pieces are one-of-a-kind, or made in limited editions.

Each piece is created in respectful celebration of our

wonderful planet and the creatures that live on it,

using materials that are

re-claimed, re-cycled, vintage

or fair-trade wherever possible. Every item is carefully wrapped in packaging made from recycled/recyclable products.

Wabi Brook Studio welcomes creative collaboration!

Whether it is jewelery to co-ordinate with an outfit

or a portrait of a special animal,

the resulting custom item will be uniquely yours!

A note from Julie:

I am a mostly self-taught artist, wife, mother, (mostly) retired equestrian trainer/coach, menagerie manager, metal worker, paint pusher, chief cook and bottle washer, earth child, student of life, photographer. My whole family are shutterbugs. From time to time, their work will also feature in my shop.

I create intuitively, beginning with the end in mind, but never knowing the route I will take, or even if I will end up where originally planned. My creative process is often tortuous, sometimes free flowing, always interesting. I love what I do. I play with fire, hit things really hard, throw paint around - and no-one tells me to stop! It doesn’t get any better than this.
I care about every piece I create. I want my work to celebrate both nature and humanity without compromising either, and not be just a handcrafted alternative to the mass-market, sweatshop-manufactured culture we live in. Therefore, wherever possible, I use recycled/reclaimed/vintage /free trade materials in my work, and packaging made from recycled/recyclable products. All my jewelery is hand-made, by me, one at a time and in very limited editions. Many pieces are one of a kind. Ditto for my artwork. I create and sell original pieces of art, and also sell professionally made limited-edition giclee prints of many of those works.

The Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson

about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between

two "wolves" inside us all..

One is Evil.

It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,

superiority, and ego, poverty and suffering.

The other is Good.

It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,

compassion and faith, wealth and prosperity.

The grandson thought about it for a minute

and then asked his grandfather:

"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,

"The one you feed."

Valentine Day Bows~St Patty's Day Bows~Curly Ballerina Bows

It is football season and that means

cheerleaders will be looking for

cute hair accessories.

Well.......

I have done some research

and have found this very talented lady

who creates the

HOTTEST

hair fashions in town!

http://www.tiptopsdesigns.com/

http://www.tiptopsdesigns.etsy.com/

LOOK AT THE COLORS TO PICK FROM....

Tip-Tops would love to design a beautiful korker bow, just for you! Using the above color chart , choose up to five colors that you would like used for your bow. Email your choices and Tip-Tops will get started on your custom bow. There are NO additional fees for this service! You will get a digital image of the finished bow upon completion. Tip-Tops will not send you your new bow unless you are satisfied with the result.

Now this is something I am definitely going to sign up for.
My little grandaughter would love to get a surprise
bow in the mail for six months in a row!!!!

Isn't this a GREAT IDEA!

A Note From Lisa Rose:

"I am a SAHM to four wonderful children! Nicholas is 10, and he is in the fourth grade. Carmen is 5, and just missed the cut off for kindergarten. Luke is 4, and the baby, Mary, is almost a year. I started making bows for my oldest daughter, Carmen, because she LOVES anything and everything girly. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much I enjoyed making them. If you met me in the real world, you would understand why I say that. I am not girly in the least! I imagine that the clerks at my favorite Hobby Lobby get a kick out of my purchases, considering my tomboy appearance. After getting so many positive reviews, I moved on to making bows for friends and family. I very recently made the jump to selling online and at craft shows. My favorite bows to make are korker bows, because they are so crazy and free form. I am never happy doing one thing for long, though, so I am always trying out new styles. In fact, I have future plans for infant barrettes-as soon as my youngest daughter grows a little bit more hair!Your purchase helps me to do what I love-stay home with my children, and make pretty things for my girls-and yours!! ...........Lisa Rose

gorgeous glass tile pendants from BKD's new

Brianne states:

"They are sealed to be water resistant, but please do not submerge.

They take me about 3 days to make in order to ensure the highest quality.

It is a tedious process to ensure no bubbles or mistakes are made.

I use handmade glass tiles and handmade glaze

to continue to support the handmade movement.

I use high quality photo paper to print the high quality hand-designed graphics.

I do custom order pictures - just convo me.

If you are interested in large quantities from my Graphic Design Collection

(i.e. want matching ones among friends and family),

feel free to convo me.

I'd be more than happy to make a custom quantity."

Dirt Road South

http://www.dirtroadsouth.etsy.com/

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!

http://dirtroadsouth.etsy.com/

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.
