And now we pause for pretty things.

So, as I'm getting back into jewelry-making, I've been browsing Etsy for beads and inspirations. My pretty blue sandstone beads should be waiting for me at home! Yay.

1 Of My Kind:: Gorgeous antique-style jewelry with stunning gems. I want one of everything in this shop. Everything. And for the quality, it's exremely reasonably priced.

Bethany Cooper Jewelry:: Pretty jewelry, lots of dichroic glass pieces.

Beadkeepers:: Gorgeous nature-inspired jewery and Goddess beads. Out of my price range unless I were to splurge on something really special, but I'd consider it.

Serenedreams:: Perfume oil necklace vials, hand-poured candles, incense.

Gudonya:: Vegan bath and body with a good reputation for quality.

Catholic Guilt:: Pretty beaded jewelry with a decadent flair.

Olivia Moon Designs:: Pretty deco pendants.


And one non-Etsy-- The Kitschen is run by my awesome friend and bellydance buddy Flissy / marinatempest. Cool pendants, beaded jewelry, artwork, and hand-bound books. Check it out!
