New bracelets...

Here is a glimpse of some bracelets that will soon be added to the shop. I am in love with them! They will fit anyone, being that they are wrap style bracelets. They have a bold look, but are light and airy enough for spring and summer. Here are just two, I plan to add many more to the shop...check em out~!














PS~ The Earth Day celebration was a success and the Lotus Jewelry package donated for the silent auction raised a good donation! I was very happy *and proud*...and also there is a possibility of a great opportunity arising, more info to come!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

The Earth Day Celebration is tomorrow. I have my Lotus package all made up and ready to go...the winner will get two pairs of silver earrings, 1. simple silver loops dangle form long curved ear wires and 2. silver trickle charms dangle from silver ear hooks...also a lovely necklace composed of a silver and brass flower dangling from white enamel chain and last but not least, my favorite piece...I found these great beads that are a bright green in the center and fade out to an earthy brown, very unique...they make up a fabulous bracelet. And also included is a little goodie bag with other offers enclosed. So, that is my contribution to Earth Day :) (pics are kinda sucky)

::I jumped on the bandwagon::


Over at Love Maegan (my favorite blog), she posted sneaky sneaky beauty tricks. I had to try them for myself!





Indeed, they work :)

I have very sensitive skin, and the EVOO is great for it. It's not too harsh, and is very moisturizing for my face without making it oily. I have been using it everyday for a week now and I really love the way it makes my complexion look and feel. I may cut back to every other day, or just try a gentle cleanser once a week. I use the EVOO as my cleanser and then a little bit more afterwards as a moisturizer as well. Fabulous product, any brand!

I was hesitant about the hairspray, only because I am an aerosol junkie- I know, bad for the earth. It's is probably best then that I did try this spray, being a non-aerosol. It offers great hold, does not take much at all, and still allows for touchable softness...given you don't over do it.

I use the oil sheen spray after I shower, I put a towel down when I spray it- using it in the shower does not work for me...I thought I would break my neck the next time I got in the shower, it makes for a slippery floor! I spray it on my arms and legs and it leaves my skin very smooth, shiny, and I actually think it has a great smell.

Now, the Evening Primrose oil. I have only been taking these for a few days, so I may not be giving a very accurate review of them. I would assume they work quickly, being that they are a natural supplement. I can be a bit moody of a handful sometimes. I am not big on taking prescription meds right now, so I was very curious to try these. So far, so good. They really seem to level out my moods, and I feel great. I am not real sure what they are intended for, some sort of women's health, but regardless it is working for me so far.

Great products and great post, thanks Maegan!

Tonight I brought home some ice cream treats for the puppers. They LOVED them! Check out my other blog Shadey Days to see some cute pics of my dogs eating ice cream :)

Have a good night!

Etsy Frontpage

Every time I go to Etsy's main page, I always wonder if I will ever see an item from my shop on their Front Page? And then I think, well it changes every 30 minutes or so, what are the chances that I would catch it if it did happen? Then I came across this fabulous website (only Etsians would appreciate it) called CraftCult.com. You are able to enter your shop and see who hearts you and which items and also see if you have ever been featured on the Front Page or any other spotlights. So, I did a search....and there I was! On March 31, who knew?~!? So if you are a fellow Etsian, go check it out...it's pretty fun!


Click here to my item featured...its bottom left corner( I cannot figure out for the life of me how to post the picture here?!?!)

Laziness...

Anywhoo...I have a new ad going up tomorrow, so I really need to get busy to get the new items in the shop...they will all be up by the end of the week-for sure. Here is a glimpse of a favorite piece I have created...
