Halloween Fun!

2009-09-29T18:10:00.000-07:00

These are great!! Cute little glow in the dark ghosts made from polymer clay.
If you set these near a light, they absorb the light and glow!

I found this seller, named FoxyGirlBoutique in the etsy chat room this afternoon. Fellow chatters were posting the most eye catching photography of very unique rings, necklaces and earrings. I just had to check out this store.

She uses various combinations of stones, copper and sterling silver to make these one of a kind pieces.

She ships internationally and is current holding a special. With every item purchased to the end of October, buyers receive a free set of earrings.

I need to step up my photography

2009-09-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

Really, I have no excuse...like absolutley no excuse. I was a portrait photographer for 5 years until I had my kids. I have all the studio lights, backdrops, cameras, etc.... to get a perfect shot. But I guess I'm being lazy. I have packed it all away. So I'm still going to be stubborn and not take it out. So today I searched around my house until I found a room with an east window. Today was sunny so it was perfect.

My daughter has a high white dresser with blue walls. I closed her shade, which is a bit see through. Viola! perfect lighting. I only used my point and shoot camera, did not even think about bringing out the big guns....leave it in the basement..lol!

So now to get my model over again and redo the vintage clothing. I admit....the pictures are awful...all will change!

For those who use the point and shoot cameras and would like to add some depth of field effect to your photos, choose the macro (flower setting). Focus on which part of your item would you like to be on focus and the foreground/background will come out a bit blurry. Makes a great effect.

Wow...One of a Kind!!

2009-09-25T18:50:00.001-07:00

Look at this piece!! CodyOlsen is an amazing artist and seller on Etsy. The pieces in this store are truly unique and one of a kind. I am going to quote exactly the description from this listing.

"This piece was never glazed, rather it claimed its colors from bananas, seaweed and other material as it burned into the night on the beach. Glass was melted into deliberate pools on the front to concentrate the color into a crusty, slightly transparent center. Reds cascade into blacks and whites along the sides and copper wire burned black lines into the clay."

Please check out this store and other items for sale in this shop. If you are looking for that gift that would make a perfect conversation piece, you must visit CodyOlsen.

2009-09-10T14:19:00.000-07:00

I love this purse!!!

I'm still debating whether I need to buy this purse!

Isn't it wonderful.

The purse is found in a new Etsy store named LBGstudio . Her store has not even been open for a month as there has been two sales. Watch out...with looks like these I believe you have many more to come.

Keep up the good work...I would love to see some other material colors...but this one just keeps speaking to me. It has a fall look to it, but it is bright and wonderful.!!

Good luck with your new shop LBGstudio and best of wishes on many sales!!

My first find is one of my first purchases I made on Etsy. The artist is bitsnpiecesetc . Her shop contains coloring wallets that hold crayons and a small notebook. The wallets come in many different fabric patterns.

I have two girls 6 and 4. I let them pick out the colors they wanted. They were so excited to see the wallets arrive. To their surprise, the wallets came with a small packet of crayons and a notepad!

The kids love them; they stay in my van and are used when we go to a restaurant or doctors office. It keeps the crayons in one place instead of scattered all over my van floor.

These items are super cute and the quality is excellent!!

I highly recommend these. Support bitsnpicesetc and make your purchase today!!
