Today's Feature - Appleberry Run

I have found another wonderful little shop on Etsy to feature. I am so in love with the things I've found here. And she uses upcycled material which makes everything oh so much more appealing!!

For instance, take a look at these Microwave Potato Bags. They're so cute and useful to boot!




And I have to admit, the Jesus loving, Bible thumping Christian in me loves these!



But, lets face it, you're not here to listen to me! Let's get on with the fun stuff!


Tell us a little about you and your product.


I am Jamie. A work at home mother of 5 wonderful children. The items I create vary. I mainly love crafting for the holidays. Making decorations, gifts etc.


What inspires you?

This is a toughy! There are so many things that inspire me. All the time there’s an internal wheel turning with creative juices flowing. I would have to say its the challenge of "wowing" or "topping" what Ive created in the past the next year.


What is your favourite item in your shop and why?


I really adore my pin cushions. I love recycling or giving old items a new purpose.



If the world could only know one thing about you, what would you like that to be?

I am addicted to fabric. I may need to attend meetings soon lol


And a couple of fun questions.


What did you have for breakfast?

Ah, the breakfast of champions - Pumpkin spice cappucchino!

If you were a colour, what colour would you be?

PINK!

Be sure to stop by Appleberry Run to see more! You won't be disappointed!

Today's Feature - Everlasting Primitives

I am so pleased to bring you this Etsy shop as my first feature. I adore the items here! I mean, just look at the detail in this candle! Isn't this the cutest candle you've ever seen?


The talent here is amazing to me, someone who couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler! LOL!

And honestly, where else could you buy a hand painted toilet seat? I adore this!!

So, for the feature, I asked Everlasting Primitives to answer a few questions for me. I hope you enjoy!

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your product:

All our products are hand crafted and hand painted by myself and my better half Barry. We come back home to Massachusetts every fall to harvest our lovely bittersweet and rosehips and create all diffrent things. I also both down in Nc and here in Ma sew and paint on our fabric items. All our mixes used are natural products so they are eco freindly too.

What inspires you?

The sunrises and sunsets both here in Ma and in NC. The colors from both areas are so diffrent yet, so lovley. I also get alot of inspiration from the past. How simple life was and wish it could be that way again:o)

What is your favourite item, and why?

I would have to say my rosehips wreath. Its so pretty and when its getting shabby, I can feed the birds too.


If the world could only know one thing about you, what would you like that to be?

I love life and love the past. I try to make things that reflect that. I hope to pass these things along to my grand daughters too.

And now a couple of fun questions. ;)

What did you have for breakfast today?

Coffee first and formost! today was egg sandwich

If you were a colour, what colour would you be?

Bright blue, like the sky, free flowing and wanting to have fun

Be sure to stop by Everlasting Primitive's shop. You won't be disappointed! I know I wasn't!

Come back tomorrow for a new feature! Who knows, it may be you!
