Introducing you to - TheVeteransCompanion

Hi There.....Do you know any Veterans?

Yes? Great then you can let them read this blog maybe  😃

Ah, you want to know why of course. It's because today I would like to talk to you about an Etsy shop called TheVeteransCompanion.

This shop owner started actually by writing a blog to offer a different perspective in the world of PTSD from War Trauma. As time passed writing on this blog she noticed a lack in the Veteran-owned Businesses across the Nation which are affluent to all areas of life such as jewelry retail, crafting, and more.

Most Veteran-owned businesses tend to be driven more in the areas as construction, engineering, and woodworking. The shop owners Veteran owns a Construction Business.

At the Veteran Companion, he finds solace in working side by side as a husband and wife team in making scroll saw creations, helping with jewelry making, and running his construction business. This way he finds purpose by being of service to others.

With that passion, he can turn his love giving into something that helps connect others in their relationships.

So I suppose you can understand that the products in this shop are made with a lot of Love 😘

High time to show you what I selected for you this time

Introducing you to - TerraOpheliaDesigns

Hi There.....Do you have a green thumb?

I don't that's for sure, I most recently destroyed a cactus.....not sure how but it died that is a fact.

So I am glad to hear that I am not alone, cause the shop owner of TerraOpheliaDesigns says she doesn't have a green thumb either 😀

Succulents are supposed to be easy to care for, or so they told her.

If you don't know what a succulent is.....here is what I found about it on the internet 😃

They are plants that have some parts that are thicker and more fleshy. This way they can retain water in dryer places where water isn't always available.

So they told Claire, our shop owner that these beautiful, colorful little plants that live in the desert would be pretty hard to mess up.

But they were wrong.....at least what Claire's concerned.

So born out of her logic-defying ability to kill even the hardiest of desert plants, Terra Ophelia Designs is all about the beauty of nature hand-sculpted into permanently vibrant creations.

Terra is Latin for earth, and Ophelia is her desert-dwelling pet leopard gecko, who represents a gem of beauty in nature's harshest terrains. For her these both names represent the loveliness of deserts and the life that flourishes within them.

She hopes that her designs can represent a slice of that beauty for you in a form that isn't quite so short-lived as the succulents she cultivated in both live and clay form in her humid North Carolina home.

I think it's time now to show you some of her handcrafted creations she wants you all to enjoy 😊

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

Introducing you to - hugsbeads

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

You are.....come on just admit it 😉

A weird question you might think. But it has everything to do with Hugsbeads, the shop I am introducing you to today.

Paula, the shopowner, wants to take you on a journey on how beading found her. She was not particularly looking for a hobby, let alone a passion, but it chose her.

Sounds cool.....don't you agree 😃

It all started 10 years ago, shortly after she had given birth to two beautiful bouncing identical twin boys. She already had a 6-year-old and 4-year-old son running around, and now she was up to her eyeballs with feeding twins and changing diapers. Oh yes, she says, the endless diaper changes!

I already had similar thoughts when having one kid at a time 😰

She was running on steam, not getting much sleep, feeling each day merge into the next with every minute scheduled. She loved being a mom more than anything but was feeling slightly overwhelmed.

But help was on its way.....Her mom came over to help her with the twins and brought with her a project for them to share. A simple earring bead pattern, a needle, thread, and some beads. They sat down to learn how to make this pair of earrings. And that is all it took for actually both of them to fall in love with beading. Especially the fact of doing something a bit 'girly' for a change.

That is how a lot of us Etsy sellers get started.....doing something simple, loving it and wanting to learn more 😃

So to continue her story.....From that point, she researched how to sew different bead weaving stitches and learned techniques of bead embroidery, which she absolutely loved to do cause it gave her the feeling of being able to be as creative as she wanted.

Her twins are now 10 years and she has been beading for all those years! She loves the feeling of designing and completing a piece. It's just part of her now.

She finds her inspiration everywhere. Sometimes she draws them, sometimes she just keeps them in her thoughts until she gets into her studio, and other times she has no clue where a piece is going until it's in her hands and she gets to work on it.

You might have been wondering where do those hugs come in then 😯

That is because there is love behind every piece, a story, a discovery, a journey.....a hug in form of the beads. She wants that hug to be a small reminder that we all have talents within us that are just there waiting to be discovered.

Now let me show you some of the pieces she has listed in her Etsy shop.

Dark Red Crystal Oval Pendant, Bronze Beaded Long Necklace



Sun Ring, Beaded Celestial Rings, Bronze Polymer Clay Sun



Polka Dot Earrings, Black Rockabilly Earrings with Czech Peacock Beads



Victorian Gothic Pendant, Black Polymer Clay Beaded Embroidery

Right Hand Ring, Bohemian Wide Band Ring for women



Native American Fringe Necklace, Green Blue Jasper Stone



Moon Face Beaded Shawl Pin, Celestial Beadwork Embroidery

So tell me.....did you get her hug 😃

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

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

Introducing you to - NightshadesTreasures

Hi There.....Do you like hunting Treasures?

Who doesn't 😃 So let me introduce you this time to NightshadesTreasures.

The shop owner, Lola, has always had a passion for art ever since she could pick up a pencil. She is a self-taught artist who strives to keep learning and improving her techniques. Being a fan of all kinds of art, she has learned many forms. She is a musician, belly dancer, painter, and jewelry maker.

That is quite a lot, don't you agree 😉

She calls herself a spooky girl, who loves to create in a creepy cute way in many things, but at times restrains herself to creating normal with a twist.

She started creating jewelry at the age of 11 already and started selling her treasures since 2013 at art shows and craft fairs. She gave them away as Christmas gifts to coworkers at times and they were always excited to see what she came up with 😇

When she became a mom in 2015 she decided to become a stay at home mom. That way she could combine the bringing up of her son and pursue her dream of being a full-time seller. She also wants to show her son that dreams do come true, and you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Seeing it is almost time for Christmas...well I did say almost... I thought this is the perfect time to introduce you to her lovely shop 😃

Introducing you to - CreativeOP

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

Aha and did you know that there is something like bead crochet too? So let me introduce you to CreativeOP. It's an Etsy shop that sells crochet bead necklaces and bracelets and knit clothing.

If you are wondering what bead crochet is....here is some background information 😃

It's a crochet technique in wich you incorporate beads into fabric. There are published descriptios of bead crochet that date from around 1824, but it may very well have been common before that date. At the time it was considered to be more for the rich people. During the days of the great depression time for needlework got less and more inexpensive manufactured jewelry became available. In recent years the interest has revived as a hobbyist pastime.

The shop owner has been doing crochet for over 30 years. But when she saw a bead crochet bracelet on the internet about 3 years ago, she got inspired, and since then she has also been making these bead crochet necklaces and bracelets.

For her jewelry she uses cotton thread and Japanese beads and metal accessories. In time she also wants to start making decorations and gradually turn her hobby into a business.

Interested? Let me show you some of the lovely items she has in her shop 😊
