Product Review for JK Alvarez on Etsy

Recently I received two lovely pairs of earrings from JK Alvarez on Etsy.  The craftsmanship was unbelievable; the detail and work put into the pieces was amazing.  You can visit the shop here.

The first box that I opened (a glossy black box with a white bow) contained a pair of "Beaded Earrings of Swarovski Crystals Cubes in Amethyst and Celedon".  They are soo beautiful!  I wore them the next day and I couldn't believe how many complements I got.  This is what they look like:

 I also received these, in a black box along with the other earrings in a a green, not purply-brown as shown in the picture.

I love these earrings, I wear them every day!  JK will be hosting a giveaway soon too, so stay tuned!

Product Review

I am happy to present a lovely shop to you today, Southpassbeads on Etsy.  I received a gorgeous pair of earrings, that I absolutely adored!  They looked like this:

They came beautifully packaged in a white box and were on a earring card inside the box.  They looked amazing on me and they were very light too!  So, without further a due, I would like to introduce LouAnn from Southpassbeads!


I have been making jewelry since 2002. I could not find the type of earrings I wanted which is why I started making my own. It quickly turned into an addictive hobby and I started selling at local fairs and festivals.

After starting a website, I sold on Ebay for a couple years. My bead shop opened in June of 2010 in Cobden, IL. I sell all sorts of jewelry making supplies in my shop as well as my handmade jewelry.

My husband is a lampwork beadmaker and makes beads which are for sale in our shop. Many of the focal beads on necklaces and lampwork beads on my earrings and bracelets are his beads. So you might call us a creative team!

I worked at SIU Carbondale for 30 years and just retired the end of December 2011. I now run my shop full time while still making all the jewelry I sell in the shop and on Etsy!!

Thank you LouAnn!  Follow her on Facebook here!  Visit her website here.  Visit her shop here.  Next month she will be having a giveaway so be sure to enter!

Giveaway from heartmadesoaps!

Hi everyone!  I want to introduce you to Milena and Clàudia from Barcelona!!  They are the owners of heartmadesoaps on Etsy!!

 We are Milena and Clàudia, from Barcelona. We both knew each other 3 years ago at the university, studying graphic design. We love crafts and everything handmade.

Our imagination goes so fast that we have to do something with it, so we are always creating. We always loved soaps, so one day we decided to try to make our self soaps and find ideas and concepts differents so our products where special.

Here you can see most of our creations, inspired on places around the world, food or just special events and days. We are now currently working on a new collection called "Don't eat me" because the products we are creating are so yummy that we can't stop repeating ourselves that they are not real food!

What we most love of our little soap business is that we can create all the graphic around each product. Don't forget we are designers so we love designing the labels, packaging, making pictures, sale banners, etc... We are glad with our shop because it's a way to express our creativity without a client, we are working on our own business just following our thoughts and likes.

We sell handmade soaps, made from vegan glycerin bases and with some oils, color and scents. We also sell other bath and beauty products, like bath salts. Our bath salts are perfect for relax! We just started working on weekend nights. When we had some products we started selling them on Etsy, and right now we have some shops interested on selling our products in Barcelona.

Heartmadesoaps is giving away two awesome soaps!  That's right!  You get both!  A lollipop soap AND a set of chocolate soaps!!
