No Fur Please 2007-03-14 02:16:00 Today, on the Today Show, Janice Lieberman reported how many major stores sell faux fur that really isn't faux. Much of the fur is imported from China and it comes from dogs and other animals. Basically, there are no animal rights in China and these animals are cruelly handled and killed. Some of them are skinned alive.It was very heart wrenching to watch the segment and I really hope it deters people from buying any fur items.You can learn more by reading her article at http://consumersmarts.ivillage.com/home/2007/03/faux_real_or_dog_fur.html.

Bel Bacio- Delicate and Feminine Jewelry 2007-05-09 01:57:00 Megan describes her work better than I can. This quote comes from her site. You can find Bel Bacio on Bagadoodle.com and at the Bel Bacio site."I've always felt that jewelry should enhance the natural beauty of the wearer rather than overpower it. This is reflected in my designs, as my creations are delicate and feminine, with unique details. The latest jewelry fashions are kept in mind during my creative process, but I always remain true to my own style, so the result is a fusion of modern flair with classic chic. I handcraft every piece of jewelry I sell, so no one item is the same as another.Each item is constructed using genuine semi-precious gemstones, pearls, Balinese beads, Swarovski crystals, sterling silver and gold filled components. Every pearl and gemstone are hand picked for each piece of jewelry."

Enthral Makes Charming Hair Pins For Less 2007-09-24 10:03:00
I receive many emails from designers asking me to check out their web sites and items for review on this blog. I was interested in Enthral's Etsy shop because she makes unique jewelry out of recycled items and they are very cost effective. In particular, I liked these gold plated bobby pins with vintage glass buttons circa the 1950s. They are only $10 and would make a great little gift to someone special. I also love them as stocking stuffers for the holidays.
Here are further details from her web site:
18 mm (3/4 inch) Czech, Vintage Glass buttons circa the 1950's make these 6.5 cm (2.5 inch) goldplated bobby pins come alive.
Give your hair a splash of fire engine red.
Grey also available (as seen in last picture). Contact me for a custom order if you would like that colour option.
Check out Enthral's web site (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=98037) to find more unique items.
