Today's Featured Seller: Purely Paige

This one's a guilty pleasure for all of us moms/divas out there! Say Hello to this Super Cute Shop: Purely Paige http://www.etsy.com/shop/purelypaige
~Paige's Cute Shop is another one that I spent about a half hour in just trying to decide what to feature.....everything is so cute!
~I officially know where I'm going for my next guilty pleasure (which everyone of us needs to indulge every now and then right?)
Don't you just Love this necklace.....???
~Here's what this talented designer shared about herself:
"I am a self-taught jewelry designer (for over 15 years) with a home studio in Kirkland, WA.
~Until 2 yrs ago my jewelry business time was shared with my full-time corporate job. Lucky for me I met the man of my dreams, and then everything just seemed to fall into place! We had a beautiful baby boy that we didn't want to put into daycare right away so now I am a full-time Mom/Domestic Goddess/Owner of Purely Paige Handmade Jewelry!~Unfortunately, I think I am like most jewelry designers that I seem to get most of my inspiration from beautiful jewels! So I am always working hard on growing my collection ;) When I get back from bead shows I am really really inspired! (those shows can be very dangerous)
~My motivation comes from pure love of the whole process of making jewelry. To me there is nothing more satisfying than creating something with my own hands and then getting paid for it! And as if that isn't enough reward, I get to see people wearing it! And that just makes me feel famous!"
~Thanks for Sharing Paige! Loved getting to know you!
Check out this cute shoe clip....I know I could get many uses out of one of these!!!
I loved this Guitar Pick too...perfect for that Rock Star in your life!!!

Featured Seller: Almost Precious!!!

Tonight's Featured Seller is yet another unique and one of a kind shop!
Say Hello to Almost Precious! http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlmostPrecious
This Rose Pendant was all the motivation that I needed to check out this shop and learn more about the artist...Anna!
Here's what Anna shared about herself:
~"I'm a wanna be artist, and writer and a die hard dreamer. A part of me refuses to let go of childhood fantasies such as the belief in fairies, magic and that good always triumphs over evil.
~My etsy shop, AlmostPrecious, is a work in progress. Since I'm a dabbler in many crafts, it was no surprise to find me designing and constructing jewelry, However etsy has a plethora of jewelry artist so I decided upon the next best thing; those beautiful beads and findings that make creating jewelry possible. I must admit that occasionally I slip some of my jewelry into my shop but I make sure that there are no more than 4 or 5 pieces listed at any given time; after all I am a supplies shop not a jewelry shop.
~For me motivation comes every time I get an order and every time someone leaves me a lovely feedback or sends me a convo telling me they like my shop. Sales can go up and down, which is happening a lot lately, but I have faith that things on etsy will soon stabilize and get back to normal (the way it was before all the site changes were instigated). I also believe that determination is a great factor in motivation.
~Now motivation in crafting is a different ball of yarn, I find crafting is motivation in itself. There is a wonderful sense of accomplishment when a piece is completed and there is always that curiosity that makes me wonder what would it look like if I used a different color, a different material, changed the size of the beads or alter the sequence in a pattern.
~Inspiration in creating any type of art is easily found everywhere and anywhere, all we have to do is open our eyes and let ourselves see the wonders that are there before us. Inspiration can come from any source; a song, an event, a person, a place. Look at the world through the eyes of a child and you will always be inspired.
~I encourage all artist and crafters to experiment with their medium, let your curiosity prevail, listen to your inner child and always be determined and unafraid to reach for that goal, no matter how far out of reach it may seem. We may not accomplish this in one gigantic step, it may take many smaller steps and perhaps even a step-back but we will never reach it if we lose our determination the first time we stumble."
~Thanks for all your inspiring words Anna! It's really nice to hear something uplifting and inspiring! I hope that Anna's words and work inspire you as much as they have inspired and motivated me.
~Here's her shop link again: http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlmostPrecious
And don't forget to visit her blog too: http://www.abeadersblog.blogspot.com
~Thanks Again Anna!
~If you'd like to be featured on my blog all I ask is that you follow my blog (to hear about other Etsy Shops) and leave a comment with a link to your shop.
~Thanks for stopping in BedBuggs Boutique!

Here's another Shop that I'm so excited to introduce to Everyone....it loaded with 'bright vintage upcycled beautifulness'.....it really is!
Say Hello to: CoCo Rose Couture! http://www.etsy.com/shop/cocorosecouture
After seeing just the featured items in this shop....you know me....I just had to learn more about this talented Seller!
"My Name is Bree Johnson I live in Calgary Alberta Canada but am originally from Salt Lake City Utah.
~I'm married to a gorgeous husband (ok hes smart and witty too)- I have twin sons and a brand new baby girl named coco- she inspired the name of my shop.
~I love accessories and stuff that stands out. Basically my shop is inspired by things that make me happy- family vacations -old memories I name every piece in my shop very carefully so it has almost a story. I love making old things beautiful again and a lot of my work comes from old fabric and buttons that used to belong to my grandma.
~Everything I make is hand stitched and finished with a piece of costume jewelry or vintage button- making it that much more special -knowing it came from somewhere special and has a history- thanks for looking at my shop!"
~Thanks so much for sharing Bree....your shop is awesome!
