BESTeam Feature - BeaderBubbe

This week my BESTeam Feature is Beader Bubbe's Shop.  Agnes is a mother of five and grandmother of six.  She loves crafting and hopes to retire soon and start concentrating on jewelry making.

She loves to create using any medium - whether its crystal, paper beads, polymer clay, stamping...she tries it all. Much of her jewelry never gets to her Etsy store because it is snapped up by co-workers and family.

Her one wish is to have more time to create....

BESTeam Feature - Our Home To Yours

This week my feature is on Our Home to Yours.  This shop is a "mother/daughter" team operation. They love to create things, and the shop is an outlet where they can make some money doing what they love best!

Debbi (the mom) is a "professional" mother. She has biological kids, foster kids, and a newly adopted kid. Art is her stress reliever and favorite hobby. Her mother was an exceptional artist and Debbi only hopes to be half as good as she was. She is thrilled and proud to be having this shop with her own artist daughter.

Amanda (the daughter) is a stay at home mom of a toddler and life is never dull. She has a Bachelors in Graphic Design and is currently in a Masters program. Fine Art is her background and hopefully she will be able to offer her drawings for sale along with her crafts one day.

Here are a few things that jumped out at me while browsing their shop...

This necklace may be called "Feeling Blue" but it makes me smile...my favorite color is blue and these blue daisy just look so happy!

 And being a knitter I can't help but notice fine handmade fiber items!  This Eternity Scarf looks so cozy and is just in time for the change of seasons!!

BESTeam Feature - KC Dragonfly

This weeks BESTeam Feature is on Kristine at KC Dragonfly.  A shop of handmade Goth & Cosplay accessories including Parasols, Jewelry, Beaded Memory Glass Bottles, Card deck and Gift Bags, Cell Phone Charms and Stockings.

The mission of Kristine and KC Dragonfly is to bring us quality, hand-crafted designs that romance the soul and inspire our individuality to take flight. She hopes you find that inspiration in the things that she creates. Images of dragonflies, the moon and water tell an ancient story inherent in our love for all creation…how it celebrates and nurtures us. 

Dragonflies never rest and are always darting about their environment as if in an eternal search for something. Kristine feels that she is the same way. Her crafting studio is crammed with books, beads, lace and fabrics. There is always a new parasol, jewelry or purse design to be found out there and she is on a never-ending quest to hone her skills 'til she finds it. She says she will know when she has that perfect design when we can't resist buying something from her shop.  She realizes that we can never reach perfection but she enjoys the process of trying and she just wants to have fun and make things that make people say, "Ooooo, that's pretty!"  And when that happens, she knows she has done her job.



Here are just a few things that made me say, "Oooo, that's pretty!" 


Cellphone Case Little Black Bag Dragonfly Cloisonne

Earth, Moon and Sky earrings

Golden Dragonfly Cell Phone Charm Jewelry

Electric Blue Card Deck, Dice and Gift Bag
