NO words to describe my reaction when I saw this bag…!
Yes, bag, another time…
But THIS time you can’t really miss it… It’s made of recycled buttons that make wonderfull an old usual bag…
Great idea, it appears so elegant!

“The price does NOT reflect the amount of work that has gone into this bag. This charming clip top bag was thrifted some time ago and has been waiting for a re-vamp for a while now. I’ve embellished the front with dozens of buttons, vintage of course, and the odd suedette flower for interest (what – because there wasn’t enough going on with it without them? Hmm…)
The crochet strap was the first thing I did and that was made with leftovers too. Nice and recycled then! The bag is constructed with a woollen fabric but there is a faux leather base so it’s wipe cleanable.”

Well, holiday time is coming… Have you thought about how to spend it?
I did it.. I think I will sleep … and sleep… and sleep…!
But if you want to relax yourself in another way.. you can choose within these three original itmes!
Perfect for rough or tired feet, this bar is made from a goats milk base and has a thick layer of ground pumice to massage the feet and remove dead skin cells as well as stimulate and relax the tired muscles in your feet. Peppermint essential oil is then added to leave your feet feeling tingly and smelling wonderful!

Great for people who work on their feet or for those who just like to pamper themselves a little bit! Pick from your favourite colour; either pink, blue or green!
Have you booked a little cottage lost in the snow? What’s better than playing cards!?

These tiny cards were bought from a charity shop before the seller then decided to give them a new lease of life as well as a new home.
Backed with a combination of an old design and some newspaper articles from the past 2 weeks. They were stitched securely with bright pink thread.
The cards live in a small hand made cotton bag with a drawstring ribbon, to keep them safe.
Would make a great novelty stocking gift as we are coming up to christmas.
Did I say “snow”?
If the little match girl had this cozy hood she would not have had to spend her matches on wishes and dreams of warmth! It acts as both a Hat and Scarf! If you get too warm, it flips down like a Hood.

Color: Bright cheery yellow, flecked with blue, green, brown, and black trimmed in pale grey and cream (the colors of match sticks).
Size: Medium Adult 14“ from the top of the hat down the side to where it touches the shoulder, Scarflette measures 37” from the corner of the hood to the tip.
Texture: Hat: Super Soft, cushie, cozy, fuzzy, short hair Trim: Wild, furry, long hair, cotton feel, heavy weight.
This eco-friendly hood is handmade with 100% natural materials (rayon cotton blend selvage). It’s a One of a Kind, Original! It cannot be reproduced.

How I wrote in a previus post, I have reserve a small peace of my business to help the research against the cancer; I make some special laptop sleeves with some special fabbrics and for every sleeve sold I will donate the 25% of the cost to the research.
I’ve purchased the dedicated fabbrics for time, but in these days I could make my first “Research dedicated Myacbook Sleeve”!
I want to share it with you all!

I’m every time more surprise to see how many sellers sell jewellery on etsy, but I’m more surprise to find how many special jewellery people can made!!
Every seller has own style and the result is an avalanche of gourgeus items!
Take these for example…
These earrings are made using the Japanese 12-in-2 chainmail weave. Each one is made up of 38 rings. It is mostly bright aluminum but the small connector rings are red anodized aluminum. The earring hook is made of sterling silver.
The large rings are all 18ga with a 1/4″ inside diameter. The small rings are all 20ga with a 1/8″ inside diameter. The earring is approx 1″ wide.

Or…
This Glass and silver Pendent necklace… gorgeous green faceted glass rounds, glass pearls, jet ceramic bead and AB finish lime crystals are set with sterling silver beads throughtout the design. Large abstract silver-plated round pendant hangs from the center to attract attention to detail and to you as well. Sterling silver lobster clasp closure finishes off this one of a kind design of 18″ in length necklace.
If you are looking for something simpler… but still elegant.. the Dragon Agate Bacelet will be your choose!

For the most gluttonous…

1 1/8 inch buttons covered in high quality fabric are securely attached to strong magnets.
