Fresh Fridays: Seeing Green

It appears that everybody on our Etsy Street Team is feeling green, perhaps it is the lack of white outside. Who would imagine that in January we would be seeing green in Rochester, where is all the white stuff anyway?

So, the turtle notecard isn't green but could be. All of these fresh finds and many more beautifully handcrafted items can be found on Etsy.

Thanks to Karen, Heather, Marie, and Amanda

Keep on the look out for the latest and greatest from the RNEST Etsy Stret Team every Friday!

Friday Fashion Fix

My daughter is always leaving her earrings and other jewelry in random places around her room...

This jewelry dish would be the perfect fix for this habit. Besides the fact that her favorite color is green, she would enjoy being able to see her earrings so beautifully displayed as well as any of her other favorite bobbles!

Love, love, love this simple and very clever solution to the jewelry dilemma in our house!

If you know a certain someone who needs some help finding her favorite bobbles, visit Goldhawk Pottery and gift this pretty little dish!

The Mother of All Giveaways, Giveaway #5: Buenahelena

Good morning! It's me, Buenahelena, up bright (well actually gray) and early this Sunday morning to present our fifth giveaway from the ROC Etsy street team. This week's lucky winner will receive a pair of Peacock Lace earrings made especially for this giveaway. If the feedback is enormous for these I may make more for my Etsy site this holiday season.



So a little history on me...I am a Fiber graduate from the Cleveland Institute of Art, where I focused on soft sculpture and altered objects. I am also an Art teacher here in the Rochester area and Etsy entrepreneur on the side. In my shop I do my best to take existing vintage items and alter or repurpose them into something new from jewelry to housewares. Bold and tactile materials like cloth and glitter are my fetish as seen in this weeks prize. The Peacock Lace earrings for this giveaway are cut from vintage collar lace, hand-dyed a deep turquoise blue, and lightly gilded with golden bronze powder. They are sealed for posterity with acrylic medium to hold their color and shape. Make an entrance at all of your holiday parties, or wow a friend with this pair as a gift this year!
