Fullyhooked on Etsy

Recently some wooden earrings caught my eye on Etsy and the main reason I chose not to feature the seller on the blog, was because I couldn't figure out how the earrings worked! Maybe someone could explain it to me in the comments? Seems I'm still stuck on wood, though, because I found a new pair by fullyhooked and I think I could figure these out:

I really like the snaky effect of the hanging hearts. Here is a pretty, shiny shell necklace:


And another pair of earrings:


These items are not representative of Fullyhooked's shop, I just chose earthy, natural looking pieces for this post. She currently has 37 listings, so go have a look at the rest of her items and see if anything tickles your fancy.

When I come across old birthday or greeting cards during spring cleaning, I always feel a pang about throwing them away. But I throw them out, because I have seen what happens when you don't - you get featured in a tv show about the dirtiest homes in the country and end up on Oprah explaining you never meant to let things get that bad. Jrehnke creates greeting cards with a gift included, so that you can throw away the card, but keep the gift. Here is one of her cards, next to the necklace included:

The card is an original watercolour and comes with a red envelope. The necklace is acrylic on canvas. Here is another one that I really liked:


I liked this cherry necklace, too (it doesn't come with a card) :

She also makes other jewellery items that are worth a look.

Leave a comment if you have a great idea for using greeting cards in a useful way. Displaying them on the mantelpiece doesn't count!

I seem to be in a very girly mood today, because everything that appeals to me right now is cute. Like these clippies by ifthebowfits:




These clips are for children, handmade by ifthebowfits, from felt, ribbon and clips, in a smoke free environment. Items ship from Bethlehem, Georgia, US. Go order some, because they're cute!
