BESTeam weekly feature: OwlsomeGifts

If you like owls you're going to LOVE this great Etsy shop! www.owlsomegifts.etsy.com is FULL of items dedicated to these wise nocturnal creatures. Growing up with a mother that collected owls has trained me to do a double take when I see owl related items, and even though this is my second feature for Owlsome Gifts, I found the jewelry just as intriguing as the first time around!

The only jewelry I wear is silver or white gold, so I was in love with all of these earrings. I only wish my mom wore earrings that dangle so that she could enjoy them too!!

I love these long ear hooks. I have beaded earrings that feature this same ear hook and I love the length! Very lightweight too, so no worries about stretching your ears :)

Looking for a splash of color?? No problem! Owlsome Gifts has a wide selection of owls in bright colors to coordinate with just about anything you could find in your closet! Stop by the shop today to find great jewelry, some vintage, as well as bookmarks and keychains. Take a peek at the blog too at http://www.owlsomegifts.blogspot.com for features and fun!

BESTeam feature: DramatiqueDesigns!

It's time for your weekly dose of the Etsy BESTeam!! This week I bring you Erin from www.dramatiquedesigns.etsy.com! Erin's shop is full of great purses, wrislets, cell phone cases, and headbands!

Check out my favorite purse, a fun print of I Love Lucy... getting into trouble like always!


Pink is such a popular color right now, and I'm especially loving this shade!!

Looking for traditional black and white? You won't find traditional, but you will find this great black and white print sure to match any outfit!

LOVE the bright colors in this wristlet!!

A few months ago a new movie came out that had everyone going crazy for... Alice in Wonderland! Now you can get a cell phone case in the theme of Alice!

Erin brings great features your way on a variety of topics and you can really pick up on her great and bubbly personality through her writing. This is someone I would love to meet in person for an afternoon of crafting!

New BLOG in town...

I’ve been reading in the Etsy forums where people ark if crafting bloggers ever blog about themselves and their lives. Originally I wasn’t sure about sharing my life with complete strangers, but now I’ve started a huge new phase in my life and I am excited to share it! So if you’re looking to get to know me better, feel free to check it out!

You’ll be able to follow me through my journey to new health! And you’ll always be able to catch the regular features at Clever’s Corner.

Monday Madness!

Good Morning!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend, I know I did! Not enough relaxing time, but it was worth it for me. I ended up going to a quilt show on Saturday and Sunday and sitting with the booth for the quilt shop that I sell my button jewelry in. I did some adjustments on length for customers that were buying, and made some requests on the spot. I ended up making about $200 in my 60% alone, since I sell on consignment! I was VERY VERY excited. Next weekend? Another quilt show on Saturday! And this one is about 4 times the size, attracting at least triple the crowd! I won't be eating or sleeping much this week, you'll find me playing with buttons!

This week's BESTeam feature brings you the Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/lightkeeping, where you can find BEAUTIFUL handcrafted lampwork and beads jewelry! Anastasija lives in Ireland and really has an eye for color combining!

Isn't this necklace just amazing?? My favorite color lately has been pink, so I really liked these fushia beads in this piece.

This set is by far my favorite in Lightkeeping's shop. I never wear yellow gold, so anything silver or white gold is going to strike my fancy!

And I may just have to come back to purchase these earrings... Hope nobody snatches them up before me, I need to make a couple sales before I can treat myself!

In addition to the pieces that you can find in her shop, Anastasija is able to make length adjustments to pieces and also welcomes custom orders! That's my kind of shop! You'll also find her in the blogging world at http://lightkeeping.blogspot.com/ where she runs a weekly BESTeam feature and shares other fun tidbits in between! Be sure to visit her Etsy shop and show her some Etsy love!

BESTeam Monday!

Good Morning!

This week I'm pleased to introduce you to Jenny Alexander from Alexander's Designs! Not only are we BESTeam mates, but we share the name Jenny (although I spell mine with an i) AND Alexander's Designs did a feature on my last week!

Alexander's Etsy shop brings you a great mix of jewelry and gifts! I love the agate necklace below, the colors are neutral enough to wear with just about everything!

Know a beautiful bride that could use a wedding day necklace? I saw this crystal necklace and immediately thought it would be perfect for a bride!

I'm also captivated by the fused glass work that you can find on Etsy. These crafters are so talented! In Alexander's Designs I found these two pieces. The first one is just so bright and fun! The second just looks so warm and I love the glitzy look!

Alexander's shop also has customizable options that make a great gift, or would be great to get for yourself! This mother's bracelet would be especially appropriate given that Mother's Day is coming up soon!

The photo pendant made me think of my best friend. Wouldn't this be a great gift with a photo of you and your closest pal?

I hope you'll take the time to stop by Jenny's shop and see for yourself the other great items she offers. And be sure to check out her blog as well for fun features and information on upcoming craft shows that you can find Alexander's Designs at!
