I have three wonderful Etsy shops that I would like for you to take a look at. Each one is different, but each of these artisans creates with love and passion and it shows so beautifully in each and every item.
The first shop is my friend Sharon's shop, Mana Moon. Sharon is a wonderful jewelry designer and I am so honored that she uses some of my beads in her amazing creations. No matter the type of beads Sharon chooses to use, her jewelry is beautifully made and always a work of art!! You may like to read Sharon's blog Mana Moon Studios. And check out her other online shop at Mana Moon Studio.com. You may also check out her graphic design shop for banners and avitars and all manner of lovely things to use in your online life at Mana Moon Studios on Etsy.

This next shop belongs to Kym whose shop is Kimbuktu. Kym creates beautiful quilts and quilted bags with her amazing color sense. Every single piece of fabric is just the perfect choice. I can sit and look through her shop over and over and my eyes are always delighted. If you would like to see more of Kym, you can check out her website Kimbuktu.net and her second Etsy shop Paper Paraphernalia.
CHRISTIE QUILTED & BEADED PATCHWORK BAG
I would love to own a wire cross from Les & TC Cunningham of Totally Crosses. I think they would make a thoughtful wedding or anniversary gift!! There is just something so extra special about these crosses! You can just tell as you look at them , that love goes in to creating each loop of the wire. You can see more of TC's work at their website Totally Crosses.com.

oh zuda, nice giveaway and three great shops. I liked looking through them. From Manna Moon I think that Pretty in Pink bracelet is gorgeous. I also looked in Kyms shop and think those little coin purses are adorable. after that... I checked in Totally Crosses and found the piece you selected "Shabby chic" was my favorite too. Good luck with your contest!
Ooooo.... Gorgeous! All of it!
I adore Kimbuktu's "Stepanie" messenger bag
and manamoon's "Caramel Lace"
and the "Forgiven" cross by TotallyCrosses.

I've loved Kym's work since I first found the great BBEST team. The work of Mana Moon Studios and Totally Crosses is a wonderful discovery for me!!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20303285
This is an item of Kym's that is awesome!!
You choose some great artists to write about in your blog. I am definitely a fan of Manamoon's art (love your designs on her bracelets) this one is my favorite of hers http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21237307

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17269850
Thanks for sharing the works of these artists!
Such a wonderful way to promote other artists!
from Kimbuktu, I really liked her Marie beaded handbag and her Crayon Forest placemats
from Mana Moon--so hard to pick one but really liked her Serenity bracelet
from Totally Crosses--I absolutely Love them ALL!! But then, I've been wanting one of her crosses for some time. I would take any of them, but if I had to choose just one then I really like the message of 'forgiven' with the three nails.
Your clay work is just stunning. I really love leaves too! Thank you for doing this promotion for 3 terrific artists!
I can be reached at holmescraft,etsy.com or holmescraft@gmail.com
Wonderful featured shops! I just wanted to let you know that I love the 3 shops you have chosen to feature! Have a great giveaway!
Wow...Totally Crosses is awesome. I especially like the Full Armor of God style cross.
Hi Zuda,
How fun, I love looking around at sites that I have not seen! On Mana Moon Studios my favorite is Plumrose Passion, (and many many more, really hard to pick). On kimbuktu's shop, I really liked the Marie Pieced Quilted Beaded Bag, just lovely!! On Totally Crosses, I loved the shabby chic one but I also loved the little easter egg crosses, she does great great wire work.
Thanks again Elsie,
Mickey
PlumRose Passion at Mana Moon studios was awesome. So much to choose, so little time and money.
Thanks, Bill
crystalbill@gmail.com
Wow, what a wonderful challenge!
From ManaMoon I like the Orient Mist bracelet (long time fan of her beautiful creations)
From Kimbuktu I like the Karen Quilted and Beaded bag (awesome patchwork!)
And from Totally Crosses I also like the Rusty Treasure Beads Cross (very hard to choose just one!) and if I have to choose just one, this is it - my overall favorite!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to participate for the brooch!
April (zbadrex) badrex@yahoo.com
oh wow that it is so hard to choose a favorite! I have to say thought that my dear friend Sharon's wire wrapped bangles with oneof your fabulous flowers as the focal are too stunning to pass up.
I love your new brooch style and the beautiful detail in all of your pieces!
The first site didn't have anything listed.
The second site I liked the Kim Quilted and Beaded Patchwork Bag in Basic Grey Urban Couture.
The third site I liked the Mini Copper Holy Spirit Bookmark.
Thanks for bringing these sites to my attention.
