Classically Simple--A Branch of the Alexander's Shop

BESTeam Feauture of the Week!

Cathedral Shine

Today I have the special honor of featuring a now more familar group of artists. Not too long ago, I did a feature on Alexander's Design....and this week, by the luck of the draw, I'll be featuring them again. This is all fine and good, because they are a great pair of artists and I by far wasn't able to feature all they do in the first post! ; )

Classically Simple is primarily constructed by Jenny, in this husband wife team, she designs the layouts and demensions of the jewelry peices.

These two really are very talented, putting together fired glass and metal peices. You can learn more about their other shop Alexander's Design here on my blog. Stunning! In this new shop, there were many items that caught my eye. This pearl necklace in particular. I love how it flows!

I see these items accenting a lovely cocktail dress, for a summer wedding, or for prom. Like this beautiful starfish crystal pendant, very different and all your own! The pendant just glows!!




I hope you will visit this couples shop, you can also find out more about what these busy two are up to by going to their website.

Thank you and have a creative day!!

So, without further adoo......Today we are going to learn more about a fantastic Etsy Shop named You Are My Sunshine, by Nina.

Can I just say WOW! Everything in Nina's shop is so bright and summery. She designs these stunning fabric flowers, which she makes into brooches and stick pins. Just look at how beautiful this yellow one is....learn more about this precious beauty and more here.

Not only does she make those beautiful flowers, but also creates exsquisite earrings, rings, baubles, and beauties. Here's just a couple of the items that I found very appealing.

Wednesday Feature-- Boutique-a-holic Handknits by Nevita

Go BESTeam!

This week I have the honor of featuring a shop called Boutique-a-holic by Nevita. This Etsy shop owner primarily hand-knit scarves, shrugs, baby items and wonderful gobelin tapestries.

A skill learned from her grandmother, this Sofia, Bulgarian based artist loves sharing her creations: "I like sending my happiness and positive energy, and if I can make even a single man, woman or child happy for a minute, it would be a real treat for me."

Spring Scarves:
Nevita has many spring inspired scarves ready to go for this season. 24 unique colors and styles await you at her shop (at the moment!)  ; )
 
 
 
 
 
 

You are sure to find something cozy in Nevita's Capelet Shrug Borelo section. Check out this grey knit capelet. It can be worn over the shoulders or as a scarf!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And how cute is this little poncho/bootie set!! I love how the yarn just pops!! More of these cuties can be found in Nevita's Hand knitted baby wear section.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Last, but not least.....Nevita also weaves these amazing Gobelin Tapestries using needlepoint. Many of these take her months to complete and you can see the care and skill used to construct them! They are so beautiful, you must check them out!!
 
Please go check out Nevita's Etsy shop, I'm sure you will find something you must simply have!!
 
Also take a look at her blog where she goes into how she makes her items, the love put into them and the inspiration behind them.

ZakkArt....Bright, Unique, Fun

A fun new group has been born out of Etsy, a group that blogs about other new, fantastic artists and crafters alike. The group is called Etsy Bloggers Street Team, and I am very excited to see all the new creations the group haws to offer!!

Today, I'm featuring ZakkaArt, a shop that has been on Etsy for nearly 2 years. This shop is bright, fun and full of great ideas and pieces.

I love the Garden Zakka purse OOAK--One of a Kind:

(check out here)

This little purse is so simple, but elegant. Made out of linen and a delicate lace dollie, it's just so earthy!!

As you can see, it has just enough room for cards, cash and coins...everything you need in this beautiful little clutch.

These addorable "Goodie Pouches" are also available.

All of these and much, much more. I hope that you can stop by ZakkArt soon!!
