DewDropsDreams



“Since childhood I had always watched the pretty brides in their lovely gowns walk down the aisle, and look for all the things that made them so beautiful. Sewing the gorgeous gowns was out of the question, so as I became older, I decided to turn towards jewelry, to realize my creative dreams. Each piece that evolves from the beautiful beads and my fingers is precious to me, and fills me with a feeling of fulfillment. Beads of any kind beckon me with a hypnotizing touch, and I'm drawn irresistibly towards them to design more vintage style, bridal and fun jewelry. I am also working towards creating vintage style brass-and-flower bookmarks and Victorian style necklace and earring sets, which I don't have any space in my shop sections to list, unfortunately. I also dream in beads, new jewelry that I want to start creating as soon as my husband and my kids leave home.”

TRaewyn

Hey guys! I want you to meet Tina today! Tina is a fabulous artist from Australia! She is a really down to earth girl and creates some truly wonderful jewelry that she sells on her Etsy shop.


Tina has asked me to show you some of her favorite things from her shop:

“The Earthen Spirits, Nymphs, Angels, Elders, Pixies and other Forest Children are inspired by the hidden treasures in nature - the one's you find only when you are quiet, still and patient. They represent being at one with nature. Each has her own unique personality, her own beauty, and her own treasures.” 

Spiritual Earthen Angel Pendant with Full Wings and Silver Plated Quote

Queen of Abundance Handcrafted Clay Pendant

Handcrafted Clay Necklace with Green and Yellow Glass Beads

Tina enjoys “all things earthy, and things worn down by the elements - think mud bricks, old worn timber, moss growing in the cracks of rocks, and rusty things.”

Here are a couple of my favorite pieces!

Blue Earthen Clay Pendant with Czech Rocaille Seed Beads

Fairy Treasure Dichroic Glass and Handcrafted Clay Pendant

Don’t you just love her work? I think it is truly amazing. The way that she melds her creativity with earth and stone is so creative.

LillaStjarna

This fine day, I would like to tell you about a fun jewelry shop on Etsy. LillaStjarna was started just a few months ago by Laila. The name of the shop LillaStjarna (Icelandic for “bits of stars”) came from a night of inspiration and looking at the stars.


Here are some of my favorite pieces!

 



I love how delicate and feminine Laila’s work is. Her color choices and material selections are amazing.

If you follow her on Facebook and then send her an Etsy convo, she will send you a discount code for her shop. How great is that? Especially with Christmas coming!

Curbside Chaos Yard Makeover

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
So Curbside Chaos recently had a yard makeover giveaway and they selecet a winner that, from the video looks like she needed a yard makeover. You can watch the video here: 

What would I do with a $5,000 yard makeover?! Well, I think I would first want to know what plants, flowers, bulbs, etc....grow best in my area and you can visit www.digdropdone.com to learn more. Then I would go crazy! I have always loved the way English gardens look...So I might lean in that direction.

Bulbs area great way to creat a beautiful garden! Even Juliana says that planting bulbs is easy and she doesnt have to worry about chipping her nails. She is a fashionista and, well, obviously likes pretty things like I do! 

Bulbs are so pretty! Just take a look at all the different kinds that there are! And they bloom at different times of the year. You can grow tham inside or outside. Kids can plant them, you can use them as gifts. Bulbs reproduce too so you will have more flowers to share in a short time.
And here is something great! Every time you share on Twitter with the hashtag #CurbsideChaos, Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. will donate $1.00 to Rebuilding Together - which is the nation’s leading nonprofit, working to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize communities.
