BEST Feature: Mystic Wynd

This week's BEST Team feature is Mystic Wynd. Karen makes jewelry for, well, everyone. I think she puts it best...

"Whether your style is simple or bold, classic or trendy, elegant or glitzy, Mystic Wynd has something for you"

You really should read through her profile - her descriptions of who she creates for and what she hopes to spark in you is fabulous.

So let me tease you with some of that fabulous...

BEST Feature: CK Silver

This week I bring you CK Silver, Handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry...albeit a little late. I guess that is what I get for not scheduling before I leave for vacation. Although I did get home in time...but who knew the power would be out for a few days. Ick with a side of Ugh...and in 90 plus degree weather.

This mother and daughter team gives us classic pieces in my favorite format - silver! Cindy's creative interests lie "both in jewelry and in marketing and graphic design". Her mother, Marilyn, has "always loved wearing silver jewelry." She says that is was natural for her to create using the silver. There styles may vary, but as you will see, they work wonderfully blended together.

So let's show off some of the shiny silver goodies! This anklet is so perfect for the summertime with all the skirts I wear.

BEST Feature: Our Home to Yours

This shop is a team effort. Amanda gets to play with the yarn and Debbi gets to go nuts with the jewelry. One thing I just love about this shop...you will not be seeing double. To quote them:

"When Amanda and Debbi create something, we almost never re-make it.
Why? I dunno, we just like to try new things all the time *grin*."

That is one idea I can totally relate to! As much as I would like to make just one of each design, I just can't. It's more like half a dozen of the same design...too much time spent fiddling with the pattern not to :P So I am super envious that they manage to do it. And so wonderfully!

So let's stop talking about the fab one-of-a-kind pieces and start showing them!

Orange and Pewter Double Strand Beaded Heart Necklace

Rainbow Hued Crochet Flip Flops

Updated Vintage Blue Hat with Flower

Safari Shopping Spree

Okay - time for some fun! Virtual shopping time courtesy the BEST Team (Boosting Etsy Shops Team). I am new to the team and jumped at the chance to host this week's Shopping Safari.

BEST Feature: Off the Wall Expressions

As many of you know, I had my home redone last summer. New floors, new kitchen, newly painted walls. I still have not hung anything permanent on them. And after seeing this shop...I could keep the walls hole-less AND still have them decorated.

I give you Off the Wall Expressions, a vinyl wall art and lettering company run by Tina and Mick, a husband and wife team. No wonder you can find so much humor in their shop LOL! Okay, so there are more sweet and serious designs too, but snark & quirk win me over every time.

This Boy design would be a great entryway into my youngest's room.

And my oldest, well, he is a carnivore. With bacon being at the top of his pyramid. When he heads off to college in a couple years, I could so see this decorating his dorm...

Now, as much as I love the funny, this one would rock my sewing area. I could jot notes right there on the wall without putting a single hole in the wall. And chalk - always fun :)

Be sure to check out their blog to learn even more and see what's new.
