Not All Cookie's Are Edible! ;)

Winona Cookie is a wonderful artist that designs many forms of art, including children's illustrations, jewelry, collages and more!  Ever stop by the Time Travelers Team Home?  Well that wonderful and unique image was created by Ms. Cookie and she was gracious enough to allow our team to use it!

Tarot Card Box

How cool would it be to store your very own set of tarot cards in such an unique piece of art such at this Tarot card Box that Ms. Cookie designed?  Even though I do not specialize in readings, I could easily come up with some interesting uses for such a clever looking box.

If the Tarot Box doesn't tickle your fancy, perhaps this Specimen box will, as every time I look at it, it makes me feel like I've escaped to an island in the middle of the ocean.  A place where I can relax, play in the sand with my kids and drink a fun and fruity drink with one of those cute and vibrant colored umbrellas....ah....yes....the sailor's life!

Help Support!

Are you an animal lover? Love felines and want to make sure they are getting the care and love that they deserve?  If you answered yes, then you need to head over to Suzie's Zoo Sanctuary where all the proceeds from sales are donated to Suzie's Zoo Sanctuary for FELV+ FelinesSuzie's Zoo is a private group that takes care of the animals that are less likely to have a chance to be adopted.  Suzie's Zoo then provides a loving and caring environment for them to live out their lives happily.

Guitar Pick Necklace
 I myself purchased a necklace similar to the one featured above except it was red and on a black suede cord and came with matching earrings.  I figured it would make a cute gift and I get the satisfaction of knowing that I'm helping to donate to a worthy cause.

 If there is an item in the shop that you long for, but are unsure if you can pay the price listed, contact the Suzie's Zoo as they are willing to try and work with you as well.  In addition to the items listed in the shop, they welcome donations as well if anyone is interested in that too! :D

Stationary Galore!

Black Pumpkin is the shop to visit for all of your stationary needs.  This shop is chalk full of cards, digital print outs, tags, ACEO's and more!  One of my absolute favorites from Black Pumpkin are the "Chef Recipe Cards".  These come to you by email in a digital form and can be printed out at your convenience.  How fun would it be to print these off and add them to a cute, hand decorated recipe box!  What an awesome bridal shower or housewarming gift idea!


Chef Recipe Cards

 Perhaps you're the type of person that doesn't really enjoy cooking.  Never fear...there are plenty of note cards and tags to choose from too.  Keep your notes looking fresh and unique or goth and twisted with Black Pumpkin's unique stationary.
Great customizable note cards!

Looking to Gain a Better Relationship With Your Pet?

If your answer is yes, you'll want to stop by Aleister Firefly's Shop.  Aleister Firefly offers reading for you to communicate with your pet whether he/she is still with you, or if he/she has already passed on.  This form of reading really intrigues me since I have a cat named Chewie.  Chewie is only a year old, and only gets flustered with certain people.  I keep wondering how cool it would be to know what triggers him to jump on various friends and family and to just be calm and collective with others!
What Does My Pet Want?


 A portion of sales will be donated to animal rescue charities, which is really nice too!

In addition to pet communication readings, Aleister also offers several other readings as well.  One that I noticed was the " Why Am I Here - Soul Path Reading".  Now this one is more spiritual in meaning as it speaks to your soul in helping you find your greater meaning of why you're here.  We all know we were meant to be since we're here in the flesh but what's our individual purpose as a being?

Something to Think About......

When is a good time to stock up for the holiday season?  Personally, I always post up to 4 months in advance.  Whether we want to believe it or not, Halloween is in reality just a few months away (my favorite Holiday :D).  I have already started relisting some of my Halloween items and am hoping to start adding some new Halloween items before the end of July.

With that being said, it's never too early to start shopping for Christmas!  Many individuals purchase Christmas gifts (as well as birthdays and such) right from BNR's!  Don't hesitate to list these items!  Last year I did a large bulk of my Christmas shopping for friends and family on etsy through BNR's. 


When shopping through BNR's...you get a great gift for someone you love (or maybe a gift for you), and you get to have your own shop featured!  A win/win situation!


Check out the many shops who are also having Christmas in July sales!! If you're a shop with a Christmas in July sale leave a comment so we can find you!!

Who Knew Wood Could Be So Beautiful...

   
hand Carved Jewelry Pieces


Okay, so I admit, I'm the type of person that likes unique! Something interesting and one of a kind, that will stand out and be noticed.  That's what I LOVE about "All Things Wood's" jewelry pieces.  All hand carved, nature inspired (obviously ;) lol) yet, unique and special.  Look how gorgeous each individual piece is.  The color is amazing and can be worn with anything! 

If jewelry isn't your "cup of tea", have no fear...All Things Wood, has many options for your gift giving (or self giving) needs:).  There's everything from tealight holders to hair sticks to keychains! Check it out, so many neat items to choose from.  One of my favorites, and a reserved listing that I just have to share from her shop is:

Reserved Keychain
 Now be honest...how cute is that? You know you want one made just for you too!

Claudia is in the House!

Are you looking for some unique jewelry with an added twist or flare that will help you to stand out amongst your friends, family and coworkers?  Well, search no more!  Claudia's jewelry is all this and more.  She adds a special glitz to the world of steampunk with each piece she creates.
Filigree Adjustable Ring with Vintage Typewriter Key 

 What's really neat about Claudia's shop is she has steampunk pieces for men and women.  One of my favorite items in her shop are her cuffs for men.  If I could talk my hubby into wearing anything I would get him one of these because I think they are really cool looking, but alas, the closet thing I ever got hubby to wear was a hand beaded necklace I made him in college, years ago!

If you're one of those Do it Yourselfers, check out Claudia's new supply shop - Calliope's Attic! I know it's a favorite for me with all kinds of interesting Neo Victorian Supplies.  If you haven't checked it out already...What are you waiting for?
