I belong to the Etsy Texas Crafters Team (etc) on Etsy.  One of my fellow members, Cheryl of Cheryl’s Purple Cow curated a treasury, God Bless Texas in which she featured my Patriotic Turtles Bracelet (end of first row).  Other members of my ETC team featured in this treasury are berrybluecreations, jackrabbitflats, Corkycrafts, elephantdreams, wiseimpressions, Brendaswhite, cherylspurplecow, owlsay, scrabbles, EDCCollective, and HandPaintedPetals.

If you take a little romp around the Cheryl’s Purple Cow shop you will find that she is really into Awareness jewelry.  Most of her treasuries are normally on different types of awarenesses.  I will show you a couple of examples here but your really need to go check out her shop and see what she has to offer.

The reason that I picked these two items is that purple also represents Pancreatic Cancer Awareness.  My mother died in April 2001 of Pancreatic Cancer.  She had one year with us after she was diagnosed.  I was able to be there at the end for her thanks to Hospice, for which I am glad as it helped in the grieving process.  My bothers, who were not able to be there at the end, took a long time in their grieving process.  I would highly recommend Hospice when an illness like cancer cannot be cured.

Other members of our ETC team create beautiful awareness items for sale.  Please check out these shops also.

All of my Etsy shops have been featured in the Lobelia Bidelia Blog.  This is all part of the JET team social networking.  I featured Fuchsia Bloom Studio in my blog post on Thursday.  Thank you for the blog post, Rebecca.  I forgot to put in that I was your mentor when you joined the JETs.

I received a convo letting me know that my Green Cube Necklace was featured in a treasury called Spring Is Here curated by momgen.  This treasury features some of my friends in my JET team:  ErikaPriceOriginals, ArtMadeByTammy, CrystalImpressions, AllThatGlitters1, capitalcitycrafts, and silvercanyons.

I went to peruse momgen’s lovely shop and found a selection of mulberry paper that would fit this treasury beautifully.   You receive 20 beautiful pieces of 6×6 Mulberry Paper in Orange, Yellow, Blue, Purple, and Pink.

This week, my Jewelry on Etsy Team (JET) team will be starting a round of social networking for those JET shops that want to participate.  In conjunction with this event, I will be blogging every Thursday about one of team mates until the event is over.

The first shop on my agenda is fuchsiabloomstudio, owned by Rebecca.  She loves to work with gemstone beads, pearls, sterling silver, and, occasionally, copper.  In her shop, you will find bracelets, hair accessories, earrings (metalworked, beaded), necklaces (pearl & stone, metalworked, vingtage style, beaded), jewelry sets, and bridal jewelry.  I love her jewelry as it is dainty and feminine.  Just click on these links and the pictures in the blog to go check out her work

Rebecca has a second shop on Etsy, Lobelia Bidelia, where she sells supplies for beading.  If you need beading supplies, hop on by her shop and check it out.

Would like to catch up on what is going on with Fuchsia Bloom Studio?  Rebecca has a wonderful Blog where she will help you keep up on the comings and goings of her shops and jewelrymaking.

 

I found some features on her shop for you to check out.
