Boutique Karma

Tara owns "Boutique Karma".

She sells a smattering of coasters, boo boo packs, and crayon roll-ups.  Her shop is mainly stocked with aromatherapy eye pillows; coffee cuffs; and mug huggers.


The aromatherapy eye pillows are filled with lentil beans, flaxseed, and lavendar.  These wonders are perfect for headaches or just to relax.  They can be placed (an hour minimum) in the freezer or microwaved for a hot compress.  With summer coming, how can you NOT get one to cool off at night???

Tara's coffee cuffs are a great way to go a little green when you're using a disposable cup.  No more paper/cardboard sleeves!  Reduce your carbon footprint with these cuffs!  Small enough to keep in your purse, car, or even pocket and always have one handy. 

The mugs huggers are just a FUN way to dress up a boring mug!  Layered with insulated batting, they help to keep your drink warmer, a little longer, and lets you hold your mug a little more comfortably without fear of burning your hands.

20% of all sales are donated to "Doctors Without Borders With Medicins Sans Frontiers Canada" for the relief of Haiti.

You're guaranteed to get some great gifts, or treat yourself, in this shop!  Not only THAT but your purchase benefits a wonderful charity as well!!!  So, why are you still here???  Hop on over and START shopping!

Dancing Wind Designs


Sue owns the Dancing Wind Designs, beaded jewelry shop, on Artfire.

She began her love of crafting, with seed beads, when she was a child. 

There are so many beautifully crafted pieces in this shop, we had a difficult time choosing which 4 that we would share with you!  Even though we're long past Xmas, I just had to include a pic of one of the ornaments that are listed in her shop.  They're wonderful!

Sue offers FREE US shipping...how great is that???

Liquidambar


Kitty is the "online" face behind the Liquidambar Studio but it is really a family affair.  Her husband, John, and both of their children create the wonderful things in their shop.

They sell pottery, clay jewelry, glass jewelry, and other types of jewelry.


Perusing their blog, I learned a little bit about the creative techniques.  They make their pendants with cast glass pieces using "frit".  What's "frit", you ask?  I know I asked that...LOL  "Frit" is crushed pieces of glass.

This is how they get those varied colors and looks to the pendants.  Each pendant is literally a one-of-a-kind item and could never be completely reproduced.  How cool is that?

I had a very difficult time choosing 4 items to share with you...especially, since I'm partial to blue and my eyes kept going to everything blue in the shop.  LOL

What are you still here?  LOL  Hop on over to the studio and take a gander at the large selection in their shop.  We'd love for you to come back and tell us what's your favorite item.  :o)
