Shop of the Week: Punky Jane

While perusing this week's Shop of the Week, PunkJane; I must admit it took me so very long just trying to pick only a few items to showcase for this post... I absolutely LOVE everything that this fabulous shop owner, Sandy Simpson creates, that it's similar to having a bag of potato chips, it's impossible to have only one!

This past week, both PunkyJane (Sandy) and I have celebrated milestones - I, the 3rd Anniversary of my Etsy Shoppe and my Tweety Sandy, celebrated a wonderful birthday!!

So with that in mind, I felt I would showcase the following items from

PunkyJane:

First, LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE hand stamped sterling silver necklace (above). No truer words have been spoken and I'm just positive that Sandy lives what she stamps!! There are times in our lives that we need to carry these wonderful words of inspiration with us as a reminder to get as much out of our lives as possible.

DREAM hand stamped sterling silver with freshwater pearl (above) is just the perfect gift for that special girl who is turning Sweet 16 or even Sweet 40! We all need to have dreams, no matter what age, and what better way to remind someone to keep dreaming than having a wonderful sterling silver necklace

This and so much more is featured on Etsy Twitter Team's Blog of PunkyJane; where you can learn so much more about this creative shoppe owner. Also, check out previous articles on other team members, as well. You'll find we are a diverse group of artists who just love both tweeting and creating.

Mark Your Calendar (tm) personalized sterling silver pin with Swarovski Crystal (above & below) is one of PunkyJane's Signature pieces and I know I've seen it on the Front Page of Etsy, OMGosh, I don't know how many times and I can see why, can't you?

This fabulous piece is so versatile and can be given for ANY occasion. You want your husband to remember a special day... like say your anniversary :D, give him a keychain with this wonderful piece. It's available at PunkyJane.

Sweetwater Gifts

As I began browsing through her shop, Sweetwater Gifts offers such a variety of designs and prices that I can't see why anyone would dare pass up her items. The Willow Spring Earrings (above) are so wonderfully delicate and yet still hold so much composition. They are made to go with the Willow Spring Necklace that is featured on Etsy's Twitter Team blog interview of Sweetwater Gift; where you can learn so much more about this creative shoppe owner.

The whole article can be found at The Etsy Twitter Team's Blog.

I have to say, I just love the Men's Joshua Turquoise (above). It's so says, "summer"; with that wonderful charm, I think I would get it for the guy in my life and then, oops, it suddenly disappears into my jewelry box!! Just like that Phillies T-shirt, but please keep that as our secret!

These City Chic Turquoise & Howlite Earrings (above) are right up my alley! The price is right and could you tell by my Sweetwater shop choices that I just adore turquoise.

I just love this photo as well, it shows all the marvelous tones of the stones and the care that is taken with making each and every unique piece of jewelry.

OH, and BTW, Sweetwater Gifts is offering FREE SHIPPING on all items from Jan 18th-24th, 2010!! So why not by a set or two and then get the 10% off they are offering as well on purchases over $50.00!! It's a STEAL if you ask me!

So get on over there!!
