Cause we all crave summer

I'm fairly rusty at the etsy thing, I'm getting much better though. I've just recently began exploring treasuries. After looking through so many beautiful collections, I went ahead and curated one of my own!

I live in Alaska, and due to the dreadfully dark winters, I have been craving Summer, and it's finally here! I got sucked into viewing all sorts of Beach inspired items, so I decided to put them into a treasury

Take Me Out To Sea

PREVIEW :




I hope everyone who sees it enjoys it!!

Let me know what you think :)


I really enjoyed putting this one together. Post links to your shop, I'll add you to my favorites and sift through your items for future treasuries.

Hello All :)

Hey everyone,

So I figured I'd make a blog to not only promote some of my work, but I'd like to also post some how-to's on here! I've been making a lot of books and beads lately, and also trying new things out with them. I'd like to get them out there as well as show off some techniques I use. 

I will aim to post on here as much as possible, so expect some posts coming up soon :)
