Wednesday Welcome: TROUW

Each week I'm using Etsy's Pounce feature in order to discover new items "from undiscovered shops waiting for their first sale" as the Etsy site states. This week's welcome is extended to TROUW in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In this shop you'll find wearable art created made from a combination of recycled and reworked items including leather, vinyl, old unwanted jewelry and new beads and charms. Here are my favorite picks from the shop:

Wednesday Welcome: KMTStudio44

Each week I'm using Etsy's Pounce feature in order to discover new items "from undiscovered shops waiting for their first sale" as the Etsy site states. This week's welcome is extended to KMTStudio44 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Here is a peek at the wonderful images Karin produces by using postage stamps to create larger works of art (the stamps, after all, are already works of art!). I'm partial to the first one I've shown here; I was born in Washington, DC and grew up nearby in Bethesda, MD. Now my husband and I are settled in Northern Virginia and we can take the kids and enjoy an occasional day trip into our capital city.

Think Pink

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month educates women about the importance of early detection. More and more women are getting mammograms to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages. As a result, breast cancer deaths are on the decline. Encourage the women in your life to get mammograms on a regular basis. For more information visit the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website.

So to help promote awareness, I'm offering FREE SHIPPING during the month of October!
