I sew clothes, dresses, corsets, bags and dolls. Last year I started working with my own fingers with the polymer clay.. This passion is still going on…

Poise & Petite Hair Clip and Brooch

30 Mar, 2010 by in vintage 38 comments

Today’s Etsy giveaway is from FloraBond…Busy mom and lover of vintage and handmade! Livin in Idaho, but from Tacoma/Seattle area and miss it!! Hello everyone in Seattle, I miss you and the shopping!
Flora Bond was started in September of 2008, and soon after started a line of vintage fabric flower necklaces and accessories.

My passion is to design custom wedding necklaces and millinery. Flora Bond has done many custom wedding designs and would be happy to help put together a wonderful necklace to accent your dress. Necklaces and accessories are designed around the fabric, neckline, and color of your dress.

I would love to help create a special custom Flora Bond necklace, brooch, earrings, hairpiece or bracelet. A purchase with me is a personal and special experience. You tell me your thoughts, I convo you options, then you tell me your ideas and thoughts on my options etc. We work together and create an amazing Flora Bond design.

My rosettes are handmade using 5 different methods depending on the look I am after and the fabric used. They are secured to a backing sometimes and then always, needle sculpted (hand stitched through the flowers) until they are perfection! Hard work I know, but so worth it! Every necklace has a soft cotton backing.

90% of my fabrics are vintage/repurposed and 95% of my chains are vintage. I make an effort to describe what goes into my designs so you know how hard I work and just how wonderful the components and fabrics are. Thank you for your support!!
Feel free to convo me anytime with a question or even to say hi!

Flora Bond fabric necklaces are in Boutiques in the USA, Japan, and in the cutest little high end boutique Lemon Meringue downtown IF. My Necklaces are also featured for sale at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in CA, and also in Richmond, Virginia. www.quirkgallery.com

She is giving away a Poise and Petite (( Hair clip and brooch )) Vintage fiber art.

Books4Bonkhe Handmade Journal

17 Mar, 2010 by in world vision 13 comments

Todays’ St. Patty’s Day Parade starts off with a handmade journal by: Books4Bonkhe which. The store was inspired by Bonkhe Magagula, the 9 year old boy in Swaziland that she sponsors through World Vision. Here’s what books4bonkhe has to say…Since I already enjoy making things, I figure I can do my part to help out by giving a little extra to people who need it.

The idea behind it is that I make journals (or other items) that I sell here, and I donate the proceeds to World Vision to help build schools, wells, or just help to improve the overall quality of countries in need.

4x6x1 inch Journal made from recycled box of Bottle Caps (the candy).
Light blue inside.
20 (40 front and back) cream card stock pages, hand-torn.
Pages attached by silver curvy ribbon, tied on the inside with a bow.

Works great as a quote book, small scrapbook, guestbook, or journal.

100% of sales price goes to Earthquake Relief through World Vision!

Tatted Templar Pendant by TotusMel

25 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, templar, totusmel 27 comments


Today’s giveaway is by etsy seller TotusMel. I found her after reading the book “Devil’s Kiss” by Sarwat Chadda. Searching for Kinights Templar items I discovered her super steam punky necklaces…
Hi, my name is Pamela Quevedo. I’m a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful little girls. I’ve been creating stuff since I can remember & I’ve never stopped teaching myself new things. While this site focuses mostly on my needle tatting, I’m also known to cross stitch, knit, crochet, sew, bead, play with perler beads, tear apart motherboards for interesting parts & I even draw on occasion.
My goal with my tatting is to not only to make it wearable, but interesting & dare I say hip. I’m always interested in feedback on my styles & color choices.

I can also be contacted at

This pendant began as the center of a vintage pattern. Hung by a corner, it reminds me a bit of a Templar cross.

Angel Wings Handmade Soap Giveaway

13 Feb, 2010 by in satinandbirch, soap, valentine's 20 comments

Our giveaway today is from Etsy seller SatinandBirch. I was browsing angel wings the other day and ran accross this soap! WOW! Here’s what she says about it: It’s hard to believe this is soap. My tribute to hoping there are Angels all around us. I will leave it to the imagination.

I make my own Fragrance, commercially made fragrances can be very hard on sensitive skin. This is a light floral that is fresh and feminine. The top note is Jasmine followed by Lemon the bottom note is Rose.

I think they look best in white but I will do them in any color you like. I have done these for wedding favors.

They measure about 3×3. Two of them come with your order Gift Wrapped.

Each Wing is almost 2 oz each.


I guess I just wanted to create something unique and pretty.

It may just be soap you say…but beauty comes in all forms.

I am 50 something going on 20 something years old and living in Reno Nevada, I used to think I was a beach girl, but I am overwhelmed by the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

I was raised in So Cal and I have the most wonderful son who still is in So Cal. He is the Pride and Joy of my life.
I have lots of family here in Reno who I consider not only family but my best friends.

As I continue to browse on Etsy I am overwhelmed by the talent I see. So much beauty in one place.

I consider my soap more of a gift. A very usable gift.
The sculptures are really fun and look amazing on a soap dish.

They always will come gift wrapped and are the perfect way to say Thank You to a Neighbor or Friend, Mom’s for sure.

You can be sure that my soap is completely free of harmful ingredients. Your Friend- Leslie РAvoir une journ̩e agr̩able et un beau voyage.

She is gifting us soaps for Three winners! To enter:
