etsy finds

I adore Etsy for many reasons, here are two more reasons why I love it:

Erika's block shop!

I bought this type of block and had it customized for Lovebug #2's First Communion gift. Also, Erika is a gem to work with,so sweet and accommodating.

Terri's Simply French Market

I bought this for my parent's 45th wedding anniversary.(this is not my family tree though) and both of my parents love it. I also was able to truly customize it, I had Terri put a heart in the trunk of the tree with my parent's initials in it,our pillow says "The Ks", and after the Est date I had her add, "and still growing". Terri is also another wonderfully nice and easy woman to work with,she was so helpful and open to my changes.

*****

There is no better place to find truly unique and customized,personalized gifts for that special occasion.

Etsy favorite

One of my favorite shops on Etsy is Jill's GreenTea Jewels.  

Her jewelry is sweet,stylish and amazingly created and I always receive compliments on her pieces. She makes necklaces (regular and minimal sized), earrings and bracelets.

I purchased this simple yet delicate and classy necklace last year which I wear all.the.time.
 
I also purchased this necklace but I gave it away on a blog giveaway...


One of my favorite parts of her jewelry is actually receiving the package, the time and effort she spends in wrapping and presenting her items is stunning. She writes little notes/labels on the patterned paper and I always feel bad about ripping into her hard work :)

I just bought this special heart necklace;it is originally made with 6 hearts but I asked Jill if she could give me just 5 (since I have 5 Lovebugs...) and she did it for me with no extra charge!


When I opened my package I saw a little something extra for me;an adorable pair of silver drop earrings! Just a little "thank-you" type surprise from Jill as a returning customer.


Bonus points she earned :)

I have my eye on these pieces too:






Her jewelry is not just beautifully made but it is also affordable,even with shipping from Hawaii.

I cannot say enough lovely things about Jill's customer service, her shop and stunning jewelry;you won't be sorry you purchased something from her!
