Show the Love

This week I gave the team a challenge:

Is there something in your shop that you love but just isn't getting any love? Or views? Here's your chance to let our blog readers know about it.

I asked them to tell us what they loved about the item, and today I am sharing this with you. Please show these items some love.

The link in the caption leads to the item on Etsy. The link on the shop name leads to the shops.

Koco & Viking says:

We hand make each piece from white clay and hand paint them too. The process takes a lot of time but we put love in it! We're a mom & daughter duo inspired by where we live and this seashell necklace reflects our coastal abode.

J.D.B. Mercantile says:

I'd love to see it get more love! I love that it's a big statement necklace, but is still dainty and fragile. I also love the harmony of the combination of the rustic wood and the delicate design topped off with a sweet, soft ribbon against a gunmetal chain.

Duetta Designs says:

I absolutely love this necklace I made with Moss Agate stones and featuring my own hand fired Lampwork beads. I'd probably cry if I do sell it, because I love it that much.

Aphy N Angel Designs didn't tell me what they love about this scarf, but it's kind of an awesome scarf. What's not to love?

Indy & Cleo says:

Sock Monkey Mini Note Card Trio ~ I especially love these mini note cards! They were designed using my very own original sock monkey creations ~ each note highlights a particular handmade sock monkey, as well as my own (sock monkey) photography. The mini notes are sold in sets of three (with 5 different sets to choose from) ~ perfect for handing out a few smiles!

And what made me think of this. Well, I have something I love, too. (Is it cheating to include something of mine? I hope not.): 

I love these earrings. I made myself several pairs in various colors. I get great compliments when I wear them, as they are really fun and festive (and lightweight).

Thanks for stopping by.
