My Etsy Faves #2

The Etsy seller I'm featuring today I have actually had the pleasure of meeting in real life due to a happy coincidence of our vacations in Northern Minnesota being mere miles away.

I've often admired Kelley's work. She makes gorgeous beads and I always wish I was a jewelry-maker so that I could use her beads.

BUT- she also makes jewelry herself with some of her beads and when I met her last summer I asked her to make me a necklace that I plan to wear to a charity gala that I'll attend in November.

When it arrived it was even more breathtaking in person. It really is beautiful.

If you are a jewelry artist or just a woman who loves beautiful things, check out Kelley's Beads for sure!

My Etsy Faves #1

I thought I'd use this space to not only post about my own work, but to post about some of the things I have found on Etsy that I love.

First I'm featuring this personalized disk necklace by Little Shop of Baubles.

I thought it would make such a nice gift for a mother to have her kids' names on a necklace like this. In fact, I bought one for my sister-in-law for Christmas last year!
