Today’s featured crafter on inspiration:

My Grandmother, Santa Lucia Murari Borba, was a farmer’s daughter born in Italy 1904. She moved to Brazil in 1917 from her home in Toscany where she had to learn to make soap from scratch and essential oils from the plants out of necessity.

From that necessity beautiful, handcrafted and all-natural soaps have been born. Thank goodness for family tradition!

Not only can he eat 5x his own weight in sashimi, he can also sculpt things from a material most of us are a lot better at breaking than creating with. I stumbled upon his site whilst searching for a wedding gift for someone special, and thought I’d share his work with you all. Enjoy!

Ok, so I’m sure you have heard of these super gem-stravaganzas that are only open to “special” people. Well, the JOGS Show is not that type of event. Coming up this fall (September 8-11) in Tucson, Arizona, JOGS is open to EVERYONE! (more…)

I have been sewing since I was 18 year old, and as I reach 41 in February 2009 I realise life does begin at 40!

I take pride, love & care in all the work I do, so if you want something unusual, different, your own designs or fabric making up, just ask!

A beautiful insomniac inspired by vampires, Roberta always made handcrafted jewlery as a hobby, but didn’t make it her full time work until recently. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your unique perspective on vintage costume jewelry, we’re looking forward to your Hopera (jewels inspired by the Opera) project coming in September!

First, I need to apologize to Kate for how long it’s taken me to feature Mayu on the site. She’s been so patient throughout the process, and it’s not surprising to see how many happy customers she has across the globe.

Second, Kate has brought it to my attention that some other people out there may have been having some difficulties using the “Get Featured” form on the site. If you’ve tried to submit your handcrafted jewelry, clothing, food, knitted Star Wars hats, etc. and haven’t seen it up on the site yet – go ahead and Contact Me to see what’s going on. This site is about you, for you, and if you’ve taken the time to submit your information and have yet to see it, PLEASE let me know so we can get you featured. (more…)

I love being married, being retired and living in Coronado! I never imagined having my own website and making such beautiful products.

I have been going to flea markets since I was a child. My first collection-obsession was vintage buttons – and it continues to this day!
