The Etsy blogger for March is Mystic Wynd . I love her use of natural stones in jewelry. Happy shopping! Sterling Silver Botswana Agate Earrings $19.95 From her bio: One of the first things the entrepreneurial gurus tell you to do is to determine who you want your products to appeal to. In my case, it was obvious - everyone! The career woman looking for that bold and powerful jewelry ensemble. The stay at home mom looking for something fun and trendy or simple and understated for day to day, or glamorous and exotic for those occasions she gets to break away and let her hair down. Students on a limited budget or who are still exploring a variety of styles. Fashionistas who love to start new trends. Grandmoms who prefer a little bit of nostalgia. Fashion designers and costume designers looking for that one-of-a kind piece that's perfect for a new dress or an old world character. Brides, their mothers and mothers-in-law to-be.

This Etsy seller has two shops and some items that made me go squeee.. Splendid Little Stars (from her shop notes) Artsyness and crafting have always been a part of my life. I love the outdoors, to travel to new and beautiful places, photographing all the while. Nature inspires me. I love making most anything with my hands. Inspired many years ago, by my daughter's first grade teacher, I began the study of tie dyeing. Learning something new while creating is a constant process. Discovery is a joy (mostly)! I have been selling hand~dyed and hand~painted clothing for about 20 years now. I have been making jewlery for much longer than that. For about 4 years, at the turn of the century, I owned a gift shop along with other artisians. We made and sold our own creations along with some "ready-mades." Truly, the most meaningful part of this was the relationships formed with our treasured customers. Sharing our creations with an appreciative audience was always heart-w...

For Vintage items, they are from my mom...

I find it valuable to keep a knitting journal, usually it is a large spiral bound book. I mean to keep all of my knitting info, swatches, yarn samples etc. in it, but it is large and I am always behind. Dragonfly soars , fellow knitting blogger, gave me the idea of keeping a small journal for each project. This is a perfect solution for myself. Small, portable, and pretty I can write all of my info into it! Start for just for socks! I have been working on 2 at a time socks and am using a small journal to note my ideas, problems, and progress. It’s great. With that being said here is an Etsy seller that makes some cute little journals and scrapbooks. She also makes custom scrapbooks. Memories for Life Scrapbooks  Edi also blogs here . Some of my favorites are: the Love album $20.00 the Summer book $20.00 Bird Notebook $6.00 The Butterfly note book $5.00 Sweet little books to place your thoughts, photos, or even your to do list.

You all know how much I love Etsy. I think many things contribute to this, shopping in my pajamas with my coffee in my house in no makeup is a primo one. But also supporting indie artisans, it makes me feel good. There are many, many talented people out there, and the Internet and allows them to practice their craft, (maybe not profit, but maybe just enough to allow them to continue, especially in these lean times) And, hey it makes me feel good that I am promoting someone with their creations. So now I have justified my shopping. Giggles I found Tuilps Treasure Box , and love this statement she makes "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." ♥ From jewelry to clothing and purses and totes, she has a fun outlook on her creations. In addition to that she is ...

A littler bit about her: About Stormy Designs: Stormy Designs offers unique sculptures, art, home decor, art jewelry and accessories for your shopping pleasure.

Should something break please save all the pieces and convo me about repairing it. Polymer clay beads may shatter or chip if dropped on a hard surface so treat them as you would your pearls.
