Introducing to you - LightworkersSoapShop

Hi There - Do you like to be fresh and clean?

I am sure you do 😀 So let me introduce you to - LightworkersSoapShop

It's a new shop on Etsy. Taylor, the shopowner, started making soap a few years ago after she used a homemade soap for the first time. She picked it up at a festival and could feel the difference from a regular bar of soap. She loved the idea so much that she decided to make her own.

It started out as a hobby, like with most other Etsians, but the family and friends loved the soap so much that she decided to turn it into a business.

The name Lightworker's soap shop came from the spiritual defination of lightworker. A lightworker is a person who comes to earth to bring light and positive energy, to uplift the world and raise the vibration of the planet.

Her soaps and face masks are all made with quality responsibly sourced ingredients and she only makes them in a positive mental space to transfer the positivity into the product.

Let me show you some of her shop items in order to give you an idea of what you can find 😊

Turmeric and Activated Charcoal Moisturizing Ginger Soap



Spinach, Basil, Green Tea, and French Green Clay Face Mask



Pink Rose Clay and Activated Charcoal Moisturizing Spa Bar



Rose Clay Face Mask! For Soft, Clear, Glowing Skin



Pick Your Scent Soaps, Two Luxury Handmade Artisan Soap Bars



Sea Clay And Red Sea Salt Beach Soap with Aloe

Introducing to you - Grayham Leather Bags

Hi There....Do you like leather bags?

Then you will like this next shop I will be introducing to you - Grayham 😊

They started out with the thought 'fair trade doesn't have to be expensive'.

Their goal is to provide the Dutch consumer with affordable handmade leather bags, and at the same time stimulate Indian workshops to improve their working conditions.

The craftsmen that make their bags get fair wages, and use only regulated leather. At the moment they have a collection of leather bags, like for instance the Crawford and Miller, the popular rolltop backpacks. But they also have shoulder bags, backpacks and travel bags.

Recently they included leather accessories to their assortment. Think about wallets, laptop covers and belts.

Let me show you a few of their items to give you an idea of what they sell 😃

Miller Rolltop Backpack



Anderson leather weekend bag



Luther leather passport holder



Norris leather wallet



Reeves leather laptop cover



Franklin Rolltop backpack



Park leather shoulder bag



All their leather bags are shipped with maintenance set included. Great deal....don't you think so?

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

Introducing you to - Simply Unique Bags

Hi There - Do you like bags?

Surely you do. Who doesn't? They come in all shapes and sizes.

Today I would like to introduce to you to a creative shop on Etsy - SimplyuniquebagsAU

The shopowner, Alisa, aims to provide you with high quality leather pouches and clutches. On top of that each bag is delicately handcrafted and personally monogrammed. How cool is that 😃
Think of it this way, your bag is not only a fashion accessory but it's also a reflection of you. Your hopes and dreams are embedded onto your bag in the form of letters that you have chosen.

Doesn't that sound wonderful to you? I know I would feel mighty special with that kind of bag 😊

Alisa's opinion is, that we sometimes just need to be reminded that anything is possible if we set our minds to it. And she says 'Create your own bag today as a meaningful reminder to dream big and achieve the impossible!'

This translates in the mantra of her shop 'Create your dreams into a reality - it starts with you.

Here is a selection I made of the items of her shop to help you get an idea of what you can find.

Mother's Day Gift! 5 colours available | Monogrammed Leather Messenger Bag



Personalised Leather Envelope Clutch in Dusty Rose



Monogram Saffiano Leather Wrist Pouch, Handmade in Red



Leather Purse Wallet | 6 card slots with coin compartment



Super cute kids mini leather squeeze coin pouches! 10 designs available!



13 colours available | Personalised Genuine Leather Monogram Keyrings



Pale Blue Monogrammed Classic Pouch | Comes with complimentary wrist strap



Mother's Day Gift! 7 colours available | Large Leather Tote with no hardware

Those bags look great, don't you agree? Be sure to visit her Etsy shop if you would like to see some more 😊

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

Would you like a review of your shop? All you have to do is ask 😀

Fortuneteller Bangle

Hi There.....Do you like new things?

A few weeks ago someone asked me if I could make a kind of bracelet, like the picture she sent me. It looked real complicated so I told her I wasn't sure I would be able to do that 😧

Then she sent me all kinds of things she found on internet. So I started to google some things and came across the book of Kate McKinnon - Contemporary Geometric Beadwork.

I was so intrigued that I ordered both books on contemporary geometric beadwork. Me and my customer both agreed I would make the Fortuneteller Bangle in the colors purple and pink 😅

I must say that I had to read the pattern more than once to be sure to get it right. That may also be because my native tongue is Dutch and the book was in English. But I managed to make it and was real happy with myself.

Here are some pictures of the one I made 😃





So let me know what you think of it. Would you wear this kind of bracelet? Or would you like to try and make this yourself?
I am gonna make more of those in the future for sure :)

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