My recent stroll thru Etsy landed me a LOT of interesting items and some new friends to share with you!
One of my favorite shops I found was Abbasgirl! Catherine has the most amazing art pieces! In fact, most of her images are vintage reproductions, many of which are rarely seen elsewhere. She has nearly 5000 images in her collection, so chances are she has just what you are looking for!
I fell in love with her Words of Life Christian Pendant Series! They are perfect for gifts when you just don't know what to give the recipient, and perfect for confirmation or first communion gifts! The glass pendant necklaces are an inch and a half in length by 5/8th in width. The glass tiles are handcut and then fired to ensure an uniform size, rounded for smooth edges and have a wonderful clarity to them. Christan words of inspiration are printed on marbelized paper and attached to the back.She actually makes them in reverse, so the show correctly! They are sealed carefully, but are not meant to be kept on in the shower or swimming!
Catherine also has a second shop, Sweetheartsstudioshop, with adorable magnets! I fell in love with her birds and dragonflies! They are SO perfect for Mother's Day presents! She packages them in the most adorable small gift boxes with pretty plastic grass, making them a joy to look at before you even remove them from the box!
Catherine's used the same technique for some adorable pendants that would be perfect for all the pre-teens and teenagers in your life as well!
Isn't this heart necklace adorable?
Check out the lovely dragonfly magnet with French paper backing that Catherine sent me -isnlt it too cute? AND it came in the most adorable gift box! I love it and it fits my new desk area PERFECTLY!
And the family that crafts together stays together--check out her husbands shop at udaman for wonderful Christian wood carved items!
ONE lucky reader will receive BOTH a
"God is Hope" Words of Life pendant
AND
this gorgeous tree silhouette magnet
(the flash can NOT do the colors justice- they are very rich and vibrant!)
It is an art piece in that it changes when you turn it- it can be a Y or an h, or just swirls and art, or the tree!....
See!
Art can be FUN!

ReplyDeleteI left a long post on the wrong comment area - sorry -
ReplyDeleteI cannot recommend highly enough these two shops and the seller -
The Lord tremendously blessed me by having her walk into my life. I have 2 items forom her shops - they are exquisite - absolutely - photos simply cannot capture the detail and workmanship that goes into them. Thank you very much for featuring this gifted artist - who sheds grace and love wherever she passes - all over the internet too :O)!!!
