Other People Make Stuff, too….
October 19, 2007
I have been sewing, knitting, and crafting for years, however, there is one art form that I have yet to learn - jewelry making. For some reason, I just have not found the time to learn this craft, nor do I have a desperate desire to do so, mainly because of all the talented jewelry makers that are out there. I prefer to support handmade artisans, if I am able, and here is one artist that has grabbed my attention with her store on etsy, Heatherly Designs. Her pieces are exquisite, some with a very vintage feel, and others more modern. And the prices are incrediably reasonable. Here are some picks of mine (I hope to purchase these after this post!):
So lovely! And they’re only $12!
I am already envisioning wearing these everyday of the week….(can you tell I like green?)
This necklace at only $23, would be lovely for the Fall when paired with a chocolate brown tweed wool jumper…
If you know of any other deserving jewelry artists, please let me know. I am always looking for handmade jewelry to accesorize my handmade wardrobe.

I’m a craftster member, and I was just going through the threads looking at the new stuff posted and came across the beautiful heather gray sweater made by your mom. I am a beginner sewer and am really wanting to learn more so that I can start to do some clothing reconstruction. Knitting as well….I have been crocheting for 6 years and only know how to knit and purl. Well anyhow, I saw that you have an interest in handcrafted jewelry, and I happen to be in the business! I have had a small handcrafted jewelry business for a year, Mimi’s Jewels. I have a myspace and a freewebs with my current creations, and I also do custom orders, reconstruction, and repair. Send me an email if you’d like to purchase something! I’ll be checking out your blog regularly to get more inspiration for sewing.
