Friday Covet 4/23 Poetry Rings

I really like jewelry with inscriptions. It smacks of romance, whispers, and love.

This week’s Covet is from Atlanta, Ga based artist Delias Thompson on Etsy.  I am featuring the Set of Three Stackable Secret Poetry Rings.

Sigh. I’ve been looking into inscription rings for a while.. Most seem to have the messages inscribed on the top or inside of the ring.. Delias Thompson inscribes the messages on the sides of the ring.. Making the ring more wearable, and keeping the message private and intimate... 

 

They are available as a single ring or in stacks for longer messages or bits of poetry. Very affordable little treats for yourself or a love.

Delias Thompson is available on Etsy and other retailers listed on the website.

Friday Covet 02/05/10

Oh my goodness I found the most amazing slippers on this very green Etsy shop, called Little Friend.

This colder weather has me looking for toddler slippers.

Most folks are only making baby slippers. My Sweet Pea is small footed and has a narrow foot. She is 4 and only wears a size 7. So finding a little slipper for her has been a chore. Did I mention she refuses to wear socks?  So chilly so cold.. Her piggers need to be covered. I am ordering these babies this week. How CUTE are they? Little Friend makes slipper for 5-6 yr olds.

Please look at this Etsy shop and drool with me. I love the creative monsters and the kitties  and toadstools are too cute. I may have to get more than one pair! So reasonably priced. Little Friend offers custom orders too. Her slippers are made from recycled wool sweaters and leather from jackets. Very green and very swank. :)

I am thrilled to add this green Etsian to my favs!

1/15 Friday's Covet

Sometimes I see an item and I can imagine purchasing it and I can picture all the places I'd wear it and all the compliments that would be heaped on me.. I easily get caught up in the romance and high of a new bauble.

Want to see what I am coveting?

 Check back with me on Fridays.. :)

This week I found my covet on Etsy; an amazing site for Handmade and Vintage. Trust me; Etsy is so far from the ‘country goose’ arts and crafts movement we endured in the 80’s as you can get. The artists on Etsy are amazing.

 I am drawn to items made from existing items. Up-cycling, repurposed, renewed etc.

 This gorgeous pendant; Green Earth is made from Sea Glass. Sea glass is basically trash (broken glass) that the ocean has changed into a treasure by the pounding of the waves and sand on the piece of sharp glass rendering it smooth and ephemeral.

 Seashaped’s Shop on Etsy is chock full of handcrafted jewelry, much of it incorporating one of a kind pieces of sea glass. It was really hard to choose only one piece to share with you. I settled on the dark green pendant that first caught my eye. It looks like it would fit in the palm of my hand and get warm quickly.

 Reasonably priced, I am certain that one of Seashaped treasures will be given as a gift from me this year.
