I had fun creating these hammered copper earrings!
Letter from SANTA CLAUS to your child Christmas is the most magical time for children and receiving a personalized signed Santa Letter is an exciting part of that magic! Add a bit of magic to your child's Christmas this year and order him/her their very own personalized letter from Santa! I am a published writer and this is my sixth year doing Santa letters. (First time offering them on Etsy.) Letters are printed on beautiful Christmas stationery; hand glittered, sparkled & include a 3-D holiday pop-up, very personalized & signed by Santa himself! I also decorate the envelopes. Enclosed with each letter is: Holiday Coloring Page or Holiday Joke Page – Depends on child’s age Magical Reindeer Food (makes the reindeer fly) Magical Snow Packet (snow never melts-you can reuse it). The envelopes will have a Stamped 2009 North Pole Postmark which was created in Microsoft Publisher. (Great scrapbook savers!) After the auction you will receive an email from me with this simple questionnaire: Questions to create a special Santa Letter for your loved one! I do letters for all ages! Newborn to 100 years Old!
Heishi Multi color Unisex Surfers NecklaceMy Heishi is genuine and comes from New Mexico.Double strung uniform Heishi necklace accented by glass metallic seed beads and silver beads; a great necklace to pair with jeans, wear at the beach or basically any color outfit due to the unique colors in the Heishi. The heishi stones I used are made from seashells, oysters, mother-of-pearl, coral and melon shell. Stones: lapis, turquoise, jet, pipestone and serpentine, sodalite and turquoise. What is Heishi? The literal meaning of heishi is "shell" and specifically refers to pieces of shell which have been drilled and ground into beads and then strung into necklaces. More and more frequently, however, heishi (pronounced hee-shee) has come to refer to hand-made tiny beads made of any natural material. The origin of heishi is linked to the ancient history of the people most proficient in its making, the Santo Domingo and San Felipe Pueblo Indians. It is safe to say that this is the oldest form of jewelry in New Mexico (and perhaps in North America), pre-dating the introduction of metals. Centuries ago, the shells used by the Pueblo Indians to make beads were obtained in trade from the Gulf of California. A string of good heishi will have a uniform consistency. If you gently pull it through your hand, it should feel like a single serpent-like piece. (Note: Precisely because of the handwork involved, a fine string of heishi may contain a slightly flawed or chipped individual bead.) |
