Etsy Feature: Jamie's Jewels

I discovered a great Etsy shop over the holidays. Jamie's Jewels (Jayval on Etsy) had the perfect simple leaf necklace I had been looking for, so my mother bought it for me for Christmas. I love it! I layer it with a shorter necklace and it is a great everyday piece of jewelry. You will find more wonderful jewelry in Jamie's shop and her pieces can even be found at the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, New Jersey. My mom said the customer service was excellent and the shipping was prompt even during the busy holidays. It came packaged ready for gift giving with a ribbon and little rose. Check out her shop to see all of her beautiful jewelry. Her items would make great Valentine's Day gifts!

Etsy Feature: Millalove

While searching Etsy for all of the perfect birthday items for my daughter's party, I found the cutest party banners. They were from Millalove. You can choose the colors, font, and style to customize your own banner. Though her shop is in England, my banners arrived quickly, and the customer service was excellent when I emailed with a few questions before placing my order.Not only does Millalove carry these super cute banners, but you can find cupcake toppers, decorative garland, and more in this wonderful shop. Visit Millalove to add those extra special touches to your party!

Etsy Feature: Wild Art Designs

I really like the big flower rings everyone is wearing right now but I'm not ready for something too big and flashy, so I looked around on Etsy for something cute yet affordable, and I found the perfect ring. I thought it looked great in the picture and when it arrived it was even better in person. The Etsy shop is called Wild Art Designs and Vicki makes the most wonderful pieces. Not only is the jewelry beautiful, the customer service is excellent. The package arrived quickly and the ring was wrapped like a little present. I was so happy with my purchase that I just placed a second order for one in white and one for my mom. Vicki was so nice and helpful. If you are looking for unique jewelry at great prices, you must visit Wild Art Designs.

Etsy Feature: gotmojo?

I happened upon an Etsy store recently with the funniest little signs. I saw two that were just perfect for my friends and I had to by them. Paula at gotmojo? creates these signs and magnets. Her silly signs will definitely make you smile, and they make perfect gifts. You can hang them in a cubicle or on the refrigerator. So cute! She also creates signs for businesses and other signs for the home. When I placed my order, the customer service was excellent. I received my signs quickly and they were beautifully packaged. You must check out gotmojo?!!

I discovered this great shop called Gifts & Talents while looking for a recipe box for a gift. You can find a variety of items in this shop from handcrafted jewelry, decoupaged wooden boxes, and switchplate covers, to binder clips, magnets and clipboards. The name of this shop is perfect because Laurie's talents are many. She worked with me to create the perfect custom recipe box. The customer service was outstanding! Here are a few more of her great items.

Etsy Feature: Bobs and Bits

I recently purchased a step stool for our guest bathroom so my daughter would be able to reach the sink. I wanted it to match the bathroom so I looked on Etsy for a store and luckily I found Bobs and Bits! It is a very cute store that carries not only step stools, but other hand painted furnishings. Since I was looking for a certain design, I sent some photos of my bathroom, explained what I wanted, and Wendy created the perfect step stool. It goes so well with our bathroom, and it was a super easy transaction with wonderful customer service. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and sent a photo when it was finished.My next purchase is going to be one of these great time out stools.And look at these cute potty chairs.Visit Bobs and Bits for custom art, hand painted furnishings, and unique decor for babies and children!

Etsy Feature: Miss Pretty Pretty

I came across a wonderful and creative item on Etsy the other day. Miss Pretty Pretty makes these wonderful card table playhouses. I have never seen anything like these. They are such a wonderful idea! You can choose from a beauty shop, firehouse, post office, grocery store and more. They come with removable pieces so your child can count, move things around, and play for hours. You just slip it over a card table! Unfortunately, she has had so many orders for Christmas that you won't be able to get one by then, but they make great presents for birthdays too, or just because!
