Introducing you to Rabenkraeuter

Hi There.....Are you a fan of plants and herbs?

I would think most of us are 😊 I myself love to experiment in my cooking with herbs.

Well, I have a very special story for you this time about the shop Rabenkraeuter

A few years ago the shop-owner and her family were on their way to visit a small yard. The last part of the street a raven escorted them. He landed on a large upstanding stone on the farmyard. So they bought the micro yard and are still cultivating it today. The Raven, so they learned, was saved as a chick by one of the former farmers.

It often accompanies the shop-owner on her herbal walks. This black bird was the inspiration for 'Hof Rabenstein' and its herbs.

The shop-owner now gives guided tours, where she leads people around and teaches them about wild plants and their uses.

One of the most popular workshops is Blumenfeuer/Flowerfire. It's a workshop where they make colorful sugars and salts, and the participants get to take those home as a small souvenir. Then they cook a 'wilde wald und wiesen menu'.....a wild forest and meadow menu.....and end the day around the campfire.

That sounds great to me 😃

Another popular workshop is Herbarium production. Most participants in this are fellow herb teachers or Biology/Pharmacy students. They get to take home their own made flower press filled with a future specimen.

So those are some of the things you can find in her Etsy shop. Along with postcards made from beautiful pictures a fellow herb teacher makes.

I think it is time now to show you a few things out of the shop.

Decorative flower salt



Decorative flower sugar, rainbow sugar



Handmade botanical Greeting cards



Wild Harvest Curiosity: Dirndl olives with herbs, Cornel olives



Scented rose oatmeal bath salt and body scrub

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great Sunday

Introducing you to - AnnArtJewelry

Hi There.....Are you a fan of unique jewelry?

I sure hope so cause today I am introducing you to a shop with unique boho macrame jewelry called AnnArtJewelry.

Anna, the shop owner is a self-taught macrame artist. She loves designing her own jewelry and gets her inspiration from Mother Nature.

In most of her pieces, she uses her own handmade polymer clay cabochons or beads. This way she is able to combine the colors the way she likes.

You might wonder what a cabochon is.....It's a rounded stone with a flat reverse. But you can also make them in polymer clay of course 😃

She also uses semiprecious cabochons and beads, seed beads, Swarovski crystals, sterling silver, and waxed cord. Sometimes she includes other raw materials like sea shells, nutshells, sea pebbles, sea wood.....this way she ensures that most of her jewelry is one of a kind.

All the materials are carefully chosen by herself and are of the best quality. The waxed thread also used in her designs is of high quality with timeless durability.

Let me show you some of the one of a kind jewelry pieces you can find in her Etsy shop 😊

Macrame Necklace, mixed media jewelry, finer art necklace

Macrame set goldstone, macrame earrings, and necklace

Introducing you to - StarchaserDesignsUS

Hi There.....Do you like to read?

Did you ever hear of the word Abibliophobia 😉 They say it is the fear of running out of things to read.

Maybe the shopowner of StarchaserDesignsUS has heard of that word before, cause she is an avid reader and part of a book review group.

She said that she once saw a tutorial on how to make ribbon bookmarks and thought 'That would be a great gift for my reader and author friends'.

Like many other Etsy shop owners, she started off small 😃

She had always liked making things from sewing to crocheting but never took either of those very far. But when she started making bookmarks she was having so much fun. That's why she thought why not make this hobby into something more. After all, she did sell several silky ribbon bookmarks to an author friend, so why not take it one step further.

That's how her hobby turned in to making bookmarks, keyrings, beaded purse dangles, thong bookmarks, phone charms, and just about anything you can think of using ribbon, beads, and charms.

She is looking to make this hobby into a full-time job in the future. At the moment she is doing this on her own, but when she goes to craft shows and flea markets her mom and niece are always ready to help.

Time to show you what she has to offer in her Etsy shop 😊

Swirl Ribbon, Keyrings, Ribbon Keyring, Colorful Swirls

Maybe you are still looking for the perfect gift for someone. All you have to do is ask and she will help you in any way she can 😙

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great weekend
