Mini Monday Featuring Tulips Treasure Box
From one person in two shops you can have it all. By that I mean you can find elegant jewelry designs in the Tulip's Treasure Box shop and every day functionality in the shop Mocking Bird Designs.
Take a look at the necklace above. Isn't it beautiful? Looking at something like this explains why this shop truly is a treasure box. You really need to check out this shop because there is so much more to treasure. You will find earrings, bracelets, coordinated sets and even a couple beautiful knitted pieces. To start shopping in this shop click any item in the graphic below.
But wait a minute there is more to show you! How many of you remember this pattern for dishes? My mother had a set and I remember them being sold as the first unbreakable dishes. Seeing this butter dish in the Mocking Bird Designs shop brought back a lot of memories.
What else is in that shop you ask? Well how about recycled t shirt tote bags or repurposed sweater items or collectible books or just go look for yourself by clicking any item in the graphic below?
Want to know more about the person behind these wonderful shops. You are reading the EtsyBloggers Team blog after all so I can't let you get away without telling you that of course there is a blog. Tulips Talking is filled with so many connections to all things crafty and Etsy that I can't count. You can also find out about the person and her family and if you are like me I love finding out about the artisans I come across on this great global community called the EtsyBloggers.

Mini Monday featuring Melissa Meman Designs
From the profile in her Etsy shop that is dedicated to help you find inspiration for your mind, body and spirit this jewelry and rosary designer introduces herself-
My "handmade" journey began many years ago in a small southern town. I am the youngest of five children and we grew up with our mother making most of our clothes (and many other things) by hand. Our father was a house-painter, but also a farmer and we lived off the land as much as possible. My sisters and I have always been involved in some craft or project for as long as I remember...I think my first endeavor was crocheting which I still love! Currently, I live in Maryland with my husband and son.
My mission is to create jewelry designs with a unique, eclectic flair. I mostly work with "one-of-a-kind" designs, but am working on a few "limited edition" pieces, and love custom work.
I am always trying to incorporate new techniques into my designs. I utilize a mix of materials - gemstones, artisan-made glass beads (lampwork), precious metal findings and wire (sterling, Balinese, Thai Hill Tribe and Indian silver; bronze; gold-filled; and gold-vermeil), freshwater pearls, coral and other organics, Austrian crystals, Czech and German glass...the list goes on!
Most of my designs are created with a "wrapped" link technique, usually utilizing sterling silver, gold-filled or bronze wire. I absolutely love this style, not only for its beauty and versatility, but also for its strength and durability. I occasionally utilize a strung method with beading wire and sterling or gold-filled crimps.
I have been making rosaries for about 3-4 years now and strive to the same high standards as with my jewelry pieces. It is my hope that they will become your cherished heirlooms. My rosaries incorporate wrapped links with sterling or bronze wire, and as such, are much more durable than traditional single-loop rosaries.
To learn even more about this artist you can read her Pink Zinnias blog. You will find a fun mix of family, recipes and new work done by this talented artist. I subscribed to the feed to keep track of what is going on in her world. Won't you?
