My First Etsy Trade

A few posts ago, I talked about making my first dichroic glass cabochons and using one to make a bead woven necklace which a fellow Facebook friend (FFF) wanted. I agreed to a trade and got not only a necklace and cuff for my daughter (see pictures in previous post) but a fabulous leather cuff for myself.

Jennifer of Tocadora Leather on Etsy, didn't just make one cuff. No, she lovingly made two cuffs and told me I could have my pick. This was quite a bit of work on her part, as I am allergic to nickel. She lined both cuffs to cover the exposed metal parts. I also have a small wrist, so she made both cuffs on the small side to fit me.



I honestly couldn't decide on just one cuff, so I got one in trade and bought the other one. Here I am wearing them - one on each wrist.

The buttons are from LisaPetersArt on Etsy. The button on the left is a Ceramic button and the one on the right is a Raku button. There are some beautiful and unique beads and buttons in this Etsy shop, so check it out.

Captured Treasury on Etsy

Wonder of wonders! This is Treasury Jackpot Day! I received another convo that my Golden Elegance bracelet was included in this beautiful treasury.

This treasury was created by Dorothy Domingo who also has a shop on Etsy. Here are two of my favorites from her shop. The first is called Ocher Freeform Disc Bracelet and the second is Berry Disc bracelet. I think they are both wonderful!



Please visit Dorothy's shop and give her some love. Thanks, Dorothy!

Ooooooooh! Treasury

I received a convo today that I'm in this new Ooooooooh Olive Blue! treasury on Etsy.

I clicked on all the images and was amazed at all the favorites I found. This treasury was created by Diane Woodall who has a shop on Etsy. Here are a couple of my favorites from her shop. The first is called Vortex and the 2nd is called Happy Go Lucky.



Thanks Diane for the great treasury! Please visit her shop and enjoy her work!
