Introducing to you - Bungalow42 on Etsy

Hey you lovely readers.....Today I wanted to introduce you all to Connie from Bungalow42 on Etsy.

Her shop features very special jewelry pieces. She calls them "seriously whimsical adornments" and I can't find of a better way to describe these very special pieces of work. Like most Etsy sellers she started making them for family and friends. They have been her inspiration, guinea pigs and fan club and encouraged her to open an Etsy shop. 😊

Her "seriously whimsical adornments" pair silver findings, gemstones, seashells, pearls, vintage and handcrafted beads from around the world with delicate but sturdy plastic chain, silk thread or cord and waxed linen thread.  Weight and humor is a major focus in her work. She strives to create lightweight pieces that won't weigh you down but will hopefully make you smile.

This is her advice for those thinking about selling on Etsy.....Do the homework/research. Read the Etsy Success emails and other related documents. Join an Etsy Team.....They are the perfect opportunity to meet other similarly inclined folks to exchange ideas with.

So let me show you some of her lovely handmade pieces.

Jewel Tone Ridged Transparent Lampwork Bells



Kiwi Green Chartreuse and Orange Spiral Lampwork Pendant



Colorful Lightweight Aqua Tropical Bracelet with Coral Red Peruvian Fish 



Wasabi, Dark Teal and Avocado Retro Mod Flower Dangle Earrings



Black Anklet with Colorful Pearls and Open Artisan Spiral



Dark Blue Pearl Bracelet with Golden Lampwork



Red Half Circles with Pearl Earrings



Bright Green Curly Leaf Bracelet



Indigo and Green Hexagon Necklace



Pale Yellow Anklet with Pearls and Tangerine Drops



Real lovely handwork.....don't you agree??  The flower dangle earrings are my favourite and which one is yours ??

Hope you liked my blogpost for today.........Until next time.........Have a great day 😸

Introducing to you - SkullcatDesignShop

Hello My Lovely Readers..... Today I would like to introduce you to SkullcatDesignShop

It's a shop from a passionate 25 year old designer and she makes the most cute accessories. She combines different styles like Gothic, Decora, Visual Kei, Fairy Kei, Rockabilly and Pop Art to create a unique look. She recently opened a new Etsy shop, hoping to get more exposure and maybe someday - rather sooner than later off course - be able to make her hobby into a profession.

Her designs are mainly cute but at the same time somewhat gruesome and that is where her shopname originated from. I really like her designs so I wanted to show them to you today.

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - Holiday Season

How how how.....I know lol.....Too soon for the holiday season.

But almost every Etsy shop is already preparing for the holiday season. And if they are not it's high time they get cracking. Cause it is said that most shops should take advantage of the slower summer months to start preparing for the holidays. And looking outside, I can say without a doubt that summer has ended. 😉

Generally the holiday season is considered to run from late November up to early Januari. It is the peak season for almost any kind of shop.

Although I am definately not a fan of the weather that comes with this season it does have some charm. There is a kind of magic in the air.....Gorgeous window displays....Glistening lights in the streets.....Family reunions.....glamorous gifts with ribbons.

Go on admit it I know you are looking forward to those things too.😊

So here are some lovely Holiday Season items I found on Etsy for you today.

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - Lampwork beads

If you could name one thing you would always be happy with to get as a small gift.......What would it be? Some people would have to think about that question. Others like me would have their answer ready in a second.

Maybe you could guess what mine would be? It's not that hard cause I use them almost every day. Yes them so it's almost always more than one. And some of you might also know that I am quite addicted to them. 😀

Beads off course in all kinds of sizes and shapes. I already have a nice collection in my closet.......but there is always room for more 😏

Have you ever heard of lampwork beads? They are beads made of melted glass that is formed by blowing and shaping with tools. They require a lot of technique and some are really works of art.

Today I chose some lovely beads from Etsy shops to show to you.


Lampwork Bead Pair - Shimmer in pink. Lampwork glass beads



Lampwork Beads Saltwater Blue per bead



Large Hole Tribal Beads, Bead Set, Lampwork Beads



Metallic lampwork beads - set of streaky yellow mirror finish glass beads

Bright Lampwork Beads, Crystal Lampwork Beads, Lampwork Bead Set



Green Glittery Flower Lampwork Bead



Small Core Artisan Bead SRA Lampwork Beads BHB



4 Blue Lampwork Glass Beads 8 x 12 mm Rondelle Glass Beads


They all look wonderful don't you agree? If I would ever win the lottery I think I would have to restrain myself from buying too much of these. Like a kid in a candy shop 😎

Hope you enjoyed my pics and my blogpost for today.........Until next time.........Have a nice day

And by the way if you like my posts and want me to blabber a bit about a shop of yours for a bit of extra promotion - just let me know 😊

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - Socks

Don't you agree that people don't always talk about the little things. So today I wanted to start and make a change in that. I want to talk to you about socks 😏

Haha yes I know sounds a bit silly .....but they are important. And they can be so comfy and cosy especially on the somewhat colder days.

Imagine yourself in the evening on the sofa together with your beloved family ......when suddenly 😮 a draft. What do you do? You run to the bedroom to get a pair of comfy cosy socks. You see what I mean. And they have an advantage that's not to be neglected.......they absorbe the sweat 😁

The picture below is from the earliest known surviving pair of sock,excavated in Egypt. They date from 300-500. They had split toes so they could be used in sandals. I agree they look kinda funny.
