Etsy Twitter Team ~ Great Mother's Day Items

Every week, the Etsy Twitter Team chooses a Shop of the Week ~ one of our wonderful members is showcased & interviewed, for all to get to know us!

As I checked out the SOTW's for the past month, I found a few items

to showcase here at From Nancy's Heart, for Mother's Day.

It is approaching and you don't want to be caught short for this most special day.

Current Shop of the Week ~ My Sassy Glass:

"One-of-a-kind fused glass jewelry created to help customers express their true personality. What ever your personalily type ... bold, sassy, modern, classic, sporty, edgy, daring, elegant, trendy, or unique. We have a beautiful pendant just for you."

Pink Accents - Fused glass drop earrings ~ Layers of pink accents are fused on a white glass base. Each piece measures approximately 1/2" square (1.3 cm) without bail.

Such a lovely pair of earrings and pair them with this terrific pendant...

Somebody Loves You - Fused glass pendant ~ A lovely white tear drop pendant with subtle pink accents.

Shop of the Week (April 5~11th) ~ Purple Lemon Designs:

Her custom products are designed to complement her customer's personality. Kelly says, "When using my products, I like for my customers to feel as if they are sending a stamp imprint or piece of stationery that reflects them." Customer satisfaction is what drives her: "When I create a stationery or stamp design that my client loves and feels is perfect for their everyday needs, wedding day or other special event, that makes all the hard work worth it."

Small Customized Flowery Bookplate Rubber Stamp ~ This 1" x 1" stamp is perfect for the avid reader. Be sure to get those books you lend back from friends by marking them with your own personalized rubber stamp.

To me, this is a Fabulously unique gift for any Mom, Sister, G-mom or Special Gal in your life; especially if she's the type of gal, like me, who's quickly building her own library!

Shop of the Week (March 29th ~ April 4th) ~ Pretty Cheap:

"I am the Frugal Artisan making many different kinds of beautiful bargains! Look in my shop for classic timeless jewelry designs in precious metal, natural stone, and pearls as well as richly colored original photo cards, pressed flower stationary, and embroidery and needlework cards (all very time honored classic crafts)."

Hard Cover Journal - Silk Stripe ~ Nicely proportioned slim blank journal suitable for sketches, notes, or diary. Silk upholstery fabric in two-toned stripe used on the front and back covers. Wonderful to hold and touch. An eco-choice.

I have to say, that I just love this item and if you have anyone in your life who either Journals, Sketches, Exercises or just likes jotting notes down... this is such a lovely gift.

Shop of the week (March 22 ~ 28th) ~ Mrs Kwitty's Cottage (Misseskwittys):

Her shop offers a variety of handmade cottage style items in fabric and paper, which she is delighted to ship domestically or internationally. Her attitude about her work shows clearly. "I just love to make things with my hands---pretty, colorful things. I love to get an idea in my head, go down to my studio and pick out some pretty fabrics or papers, and then allow that thought to become something you can actually hold in your hand!

Prettiful Purple Keychain Snap Wallet --a pretty little place to keep all your cards ~ These are the handiest little things!! It's a card wallet/keychain. The snap wallet is the perfect size for your driver's license, ID, bus card, your debit card, and maybe even a few bucks. There is a keyring attached to it--so you can keep your driver's license and keys in the same place! Don't leave home without it.

So many marvelous items from our Shops of the Week!!

Orange you glad for days like this.

Sunny Days...

Today was such a lovely day... rarely do I wake with a happiness that makes me sing (especially that early in the morning!); yet, today, was that day.

So off I went to do my daily errands ~

First, go see my most favorite hair stylist, Tonia ~

What a lovely gal, Tonia, and I believe that she will have me on roller skates before the summertime ends ~ with a wonderful hair cut!

After a lovely cup of tea with my friend, off I went through the park, spotting some sweet dolls peeking out among the blooms. My favorite shoppe is just around the corner ~ where the dollies were pointing the way.

Mr. Angelo's grocery store...

All his veggies are so bright and fresh. I just love the smells of all the fruits and baked goods there! There are times, I just hang around chatting with Mr. Angelo just to soak in the cheery atmosphere of his grocery shoppe!

I was swept away by all the wonderful colors that I found in the grocery store. Thank goodness I had a great friend with me who had a camera phone! So many sunny colors on this sunny day! Perhaps one day I will purchase the "spiny melon", first, I have to stop laughing every time I say the name ~

So, I made my way back home...

while looking at the bounty I purchased today, I gathered together items in the craft room that would match all the wonderful colors I saw during my walk.

I recently did an interview, where I was asked where I found my inspiration ~ believe it, I really didn't have a clue; yet as I walked through the city, I found spots of vibrant colors that just made their mark in my brain!

Thanks Tonia & Mr. Angelo for making my day special!

Everything's Sweeter in Pink

Here's my Newest baby, Molly McBunny!

She was a bit shy for these first photos, but she did warm up much later... I don't think she's use to being in the limelight.

After taking a trip to the grocery store, I stopped along the way at a lovely little fabric shoppe called, The Little Shoppe. There you can find almost any fabric your heart desires.

Once I saw these lovely polka dots, there was no stopping me from going fabric happy!

As Molly was being all shined up, it just seemed fated that she would get this wonderfully festive dress!

Molly is sporting the newest fashion in Bunnywear ~ Christian Duckior!

I think she is the first at her farm with this wonderful Ducky Tote!

Here's a close up (picture below) of this fabulous designer's creation... such detail!

It's no wonder, Molly is the talk of her warren!

After all the "official" photos were taken, Molly was begging me to take just one more picture, but this time holding her favorite Fabunny Egg! She's all about the fashion and bling, this little bunny; but I know down deep she's just a country girl at heart.

Stop by and visit Molly and all her other gal pals at the shoppe!
