Vintage Sewing Machine Scrabble Tile

19 Jun, 2010 by in etsy, necklace, spiffy cool, the eternal ones 11 comments



Todays’ ETSY shop giveaway is another seamstress inspired necklace for Haven of “The Eternal Ones” donated by shop owner Spiffy Cool…”Hey there – I thought I would devote a spot on etsy to gather my random cool things. You know, those things you really like, but they kinda don’t fit into the “elegance” of general etsy stuff.

I thoroughly enjoy sarcasm, wit, intelligence, learning, science, and poking fun at all of the above. Hey, if we can’t smile and laugh at the world and ourselves, well, I shudder to think what that would be like.

I also like wearing your heart on your sleeve – what you believe in, what you stand for, what is dear to your heart – I started making pinback buttons for just such occasion. Honestly, you’d be surprised who will randomly start a conversation with you based on a pin or piece of jewelry with a statement. Birds of a feather do tend to flock together. Or was that misery loves company? Suppose that would depend on the statement, eh? :o)

You are getting a gift free from people who have contributed their time and talent so let’s all be mature about it. Those who made donations to Chile relief efforts, thank you!

Speaking of which, I have sad news that our “Shadow Hills” ARC is missing in action…my personal book which I sent out was either lost or stolen en route, so we have to suspend the tour. I am so sad. The good news is that plenty of other books are still out there on tour being read and reviewed. Take good care of them which includes wrapping them in tissue or bubble wrap before shipping and delivery confirmation 🙂 Thanks to all of our blog readers and followers. ENJOY!

Wolf Card Pack Giveaway

27 May, 2010 by in etsy, odessa kelley, raised by wolves 7 comments

Our Etsy shop giveaway goes hand in hand with the book “Raised by Wolves” and was donated by OdessaKelley. Here’s her bio…”I have had a lifelong fascination with wildlife and art. As a child I spent many hours at the local library immersed in books about the Master Painters of the Renaissance. When I wasn’t at the library, I was outdoors playing with insects and wildlife, building cities for my Matchbox cars and riding my bike. (Yes, I was a tomboy . . . and still am!)

In my formative years I studied art under a private tutor who taught me the drawing basics. During my twenties I began to experiment with acrylic and oil mediums. However, I clung to my pencils and charcoal until I sold my first painting. That gave me the confidence to branch out and try other mediums like watercolor, gauche and pastel. In the end I settled on acrylic and oil, although I love pastel!

As an adult, I traveled the U.S. to experience the variety of cultures and landscapes that make up our beautiful country. While living in Arizona, I was introduced to the art of the Southwest. I fell in love with the vivid colors and realistic style the artists use to tell the story of the American Southwest. The Southwestern style has been a major influence on my work.

I am an avid gardener and with the help of my husband have created a haven for wildlife in our yard near the Gulf of Mexico in Northwest Florida. My concern for wildlife habitat loss and the devastating effects of urban sprawl has led me to study, paint and deeply appreciate the indigenous wildlife of North America.

I also donate to local wildlife and animal charities on a regular basis. If you purchase a painting let me know if you have a favorite wildlife or animal charity and I will donate 10% of the purchase to that charity. My husband and I serve as a foster family for unwanted pets from time to time. We share out home with 2 cats and one sweet puppy!

Jane Austen Sparkly Pendant

26 May, 2010 by in etsy 26 comments


Ink and Paint fabulous Sparkling Jewelry has offered up today’s ETSY giveaway…”Hi there! I’m a college student working on degrees in English literature and history. I’m also a freelance artist and model.

I believe that fashion is fantasy, and that what you put on in the morning should both make you happy and show other people a bit about who you are.

My shop is named for the Ink and Paint Department (also known as the “Rainbow Room”) at the Walt Disney Studios, where artists painstakingly mixed and colour-matched their own paint for use on celluloid sheets to create feature films and short cartoons.

Spirit Horse Herbal Lip Balm

14 May, 2010 by in etsy, spirit horse herbals 24 comments

Today’s Etsy shop giveaway is for a fabluous handmade canister of lip balm from
Spirit Horse Herbal…

♥ organic ♥ natural ♥ medicinal herbal products

I’m Kristie Nackord—the herbalicious ‘Herb Girl’ behind Spirit Horse Herbals.

Celebrating 31 years of life on this planet, I am a passionate and wild-hearted woman who loves plants and horses. Originally from Northern California, I moved to Westcliffe, Colorado to LIVE my dream life. That’s right, live it, not just dream it!
Naturally soft and healthy lips.

Healthy lips are important so treat yourself to a healing and nourishing balm that is loaded with natural and organic oils and butters that are rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, and calendula flower extract to nourish, condition and soften lips.

¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨

..::What makes Spirit Horse Herbals lip balm so AMAZING?::..

My lip balm contains a very potent extract of calendula officinialis. I grow and brew my own extract which takes a minimum of 5 months from seeding to final infusion. This amazing plant ally offers incredible healing and restoration to dry or cracked skin! Organically grown by seed from me all summer long, I harvest the calendula and infuse it in organic oils of almond and olive for a minimum of two months. Blended with exotic mango butter that is rendered from the seed kernel of the Mango tree, among other amazing organic butters, Spirit Horse Herbals lip balm is rich, creamy and nourishing.

HEAR IT FOR YOURSELF (Testimonial)
“Because of multiple allergies, I have lots of problems with dry lips and skin. I’ve been using this for 2 weeks, and I love it. If I put on at bedtime, my lips are normal by morning. I’m making it part of my regular daily routine, morning and night. Your shop is on my list…”
