Cally and Co
time2cre8 is a wonderful Etsy shop run by Mary Lou and filled with lots of handmade goodies. The first time I came across MaryLou was through her blog and started looking at her beadwoven jewelry, but then I started to browse around her shop and realized there was way more to Mary Lou than I imagined. She also creates many other items such as greeting cards, gift tags, rings, but her ACEO cards are one of my favorites. They showcase Mary Lou's artwork which is bright, colorful and oh so whimsical -- and a lot of them depict animals, a subject that's near and dear to my heart.

Midsummer Nights Dream

Ever since a friend of mine made me an amulet bag, which I absolutely cherish, I have been intrigued by beadweavers and their art. I came across Patrizia, the Etsy seller behind Triz Design and I have to say that her work is absolutely amazing. I find myself browsing through her shop -- she has one of those shops where you want to look at everything because all of her pieces are so special. So if you have some time take a look at Triz Designs, but be prepared to spend some time there -- you won't be disappointed.
