My Birthday Presents

Last Tuesday was my birthday.  Because I have been making so many new friends through Link Love on Facebook, I wanted to support them by purchasing from some Etsy shops.  So I asked my husband for a "gift certificate" for Etsy and he agreed.  Off I went to go shopping!  There is nothing better than sitting in your pjs, curled in your favorite chair and shopping with someone else's money - and buying hand made!!  So here are my purchases.  Make sure you check out these shops - they have lots of wonderful things!


This lovely pendant is blue sea glass with a small pearl and a purple heart.  It was created by Mermaids Tears. She can be found at http://mermaidstearsjewelry.etsy.com/

Next I HAD to have a pursekey from Dean Designs.  I have been eyeing them for a while and now was the time.  Tracie asked me my colors and what made my heart sing.  In only a couple of days she created a beautiful custom pursekey in blues and purples.  My favorite stars and moons were mixed in throughout. And as a birthday treat, Tracie added a pair of matching earrings.

And the earrings:

Another new friend and talented lady is Meredith from Meredith Beads.  I loved many of her pieces and had a hard time choosing.  But in the end, this lovely bracelet called my name and came home to live with me!

Well, that used up all my birthday money, but I couldn't resist these beautiful earrings from Dean Designs!  So I treated myself!!

Lastly, my wonderful sister gave me a gift certificate for her shop!  That was great fun.  After much deliberation I choose this beautiful turquoise pendant.
