Introducing you to - NatureArtByBeccky

Hi There.....Are you a fan of mother nature?

Who isn't.....right? I actually wondered where that phrase came from. So this is what I found 😊

The phrase most likely stems from Greek Mythology. The Goddess Ge or Gaia (meaning earth) created everything and even gave birth to Uranus (meaning sky) and Pontus (meaning sea). So if this Goddess gave birth.....she must be a mother.....so this way they came to the term mother earth or mother nature.

Interesting to know, Isn't it? 😄

But this being said.....or written.....let me introduce you today to another Etsy shop called NatureArtByBeccky.

This shop owner doesn't have the easiest life, being a single mom to 2 boys with autism spectrum. You can understand that she wasn't always into art.

But most recently she had been inspired and started doing it just for fun.

Many of her friends wanted to know where she got her artwork from, and some of them also asked her to make them something especially.

This way she started thinking if her friends were interested then maybe others might even be willing to pay for her art. So she decided to give it a try and open an Etsy shop.

Let me show you some of the creations you can find in her shop 😊

Introducing you to - Knitux

Hi There.....Are you a fan of knits?

They are warm and cozy don't you think so?

I did a search on Wikipedia to find out how far knitting goes back 😉 It seems the oldest knitted artifacts are socks from Egypt. They were from the 11th Century. They are a very fine gauge, done with a complex colorwork and some have a short row heel. The complexity of these knits suggests that knitting is even older than this archeological find.

But let me introduce you today to Knitux ðŸ˜ƒ

The shop owner, Martha is a photographer, graphic designer, and illustrator from Latvia. She has been interested in knitting and crocheting ever since she was a little child. Like most of us knitters (I do also knit occasionally 😄), she was taught by her mother and grandmother. But later on, she also took craft lessons in school.

She makes knit and crochet beanies, berets, shawls, and scarfs. It is good to know that she works with natural materials such as wool, alpaca fiber, linen, and silk. But they are sometimes blended with small amounts of high-quality artificial fibers to make the yarn stronger and perfect for daily use.

She lives in a small village called Asune, that is located in Latgale. This region is famous for his blue lakes and strong craft traditions. Some people there still use horse carts as transport.

That is quite astonishing, don't you think so 😲

But let me show you some of her beautiful creations 😊

Introducing you to - ARTEAMANOetsy

Hi There.....are you a fan of handcrafted jewelry?

I sure hope so.....Cause today I am introducing you to ARTEAMANOetsy.

Dimitra and Vangelis, a self-taught artist couple are the owners of this shop on Etsy. They like traveling and have a deep contact with nature which inspires them for all their jewelry creations.

They love macrame techniques. You might wonder what in the world is macrame

It is the art of knot tying with threads.....many little knots keep the beads or gemstones in place and give an ethnic-earthy style to their quality handcrafted jewelry.

They use waxed threads of superior quality with timeless durability. This makes sure that all the macrame jewelry maintains its shape and color for a long time, have a perfect appearance and stays strong and durable.

They also combine the macrame with silver soldered jewelry to create unique limited edition jewelry. 

The gemstones used in their jewelry is collected from their travels to make sure the customer has nothing less than outstanding quality at a very reasonable price.

That sounds great, don't you think so 😃

So if you are a fan of art and crafts and love authentic handmade jewelry, you surely will like the selection I made to show you from their shop.

Introducing you to - SnickerdoodleKnitsCo

Hi There.....Is it getting colder where you are too?

It is over here in Belgium. I am not a huge fan of wintertime especially not the cold 😞

But there are some things to help you fight the cold.....like warm, fuzzy knitwear.

That's why I am introducing you today to SnickerdoodleKnitsCo. It's a one-woman run shop and it's operated from Jessica's apartment living room.

You might think huh.....what the heck is so special about that. Well, it is the passion and enthusiasm that's kindled in Jessica's cozy knitter's heart and transferred to you in the form of warm, fuzzy knitwear and goods for your family and home.

She has been knitting for about 10 years but never dreamed of owning a knit shop until her last year of college. Mostly cause she never had time to even think about knitting as an engineering student. When she pulled out her knitting again over her last winter break, she rediscovered her love for knitting. The way the click of the needles and the squish of the yarn relaxed her stress and anxiety. By then she had discovered that engineering actually was not her 'thing' 😦

She had always had a love for crafts and creative work, but some influential people in her life had convinced her that things like graphic design or photography were not worth the limited paycheck. That might be true for some people, but sometimes you have to follow your heart. So now she is working as an interior designer 'by day' and operating a knit shop 'by night'.

So let's take a look at what her needles produced for you 😃

Cream Fringe Scarf - Cozy, Chunky Knit Cowl



Black Adult Cozy Cable Knit Hat with Pom Pom



Child/Toddler Blue/Turquoise/Gray Tweed Knit Beanie

Introducing you to - LuluFaysCountrySuds

Hi There.....What soap do you use?

Silly question you might think 😃 If you think there is nothing special about a bar of soap.....you really need to be introduced to LuluFaysCountrySuds.

Melinda, the shop owner, makes soap from goats milk. But not just any goats.....she has been raising her own goats for over 20 years now. Her products are made from their milk, and she resources as much of her ingredients on her farm as she can.

Quite impressive.....don't you think so 😊

She uses natural ingredients in her products and stays away from Sulfates, Phthalates, Parabens, SLS. She does a lot of research to ensure her soaps and other products are safe for your family and hers. Obviously, her products are not tested on animals.....but on herself 😉

She works with small batches to make sure everything comes out perfect. She loves making natural Bath and Body! She firmly believes you don't need chemical-based products to clean yourself or your kids. 'Read the labels' she says. Natural is a safe and amazing way to enjoy your skin again.

Her Goat milk soap contains vitamins C, B1, B6, B12, E and A, which repairs damaged skin. It also contains alpha hydroxy acids, like lactic acid, which helps remove dead skin cells. She could write a book on the many benefits of using goats milk skin care products 😇

She combines the goat's milk with olive oil, coconut oil, responsibly sourced palm oil, castor oil, and shea butter, so you end up with an awesome bar of bubbly goodness!

In her shop you can find soap, fizzies, lip balm, sugar scrubs and more.....so time to show you some of those lovely products 😃
