A New Direction

Here is my latest creative tangent...my original photography printed (by a professional lab) on greeting cards.

Why not?

I have been taking photos for years.  Now, I thought I would share of few of my personal favorites with the world. Well, actually, I have already shared many photos on my two blogs. But, this sharing is a bit different. More information and purchases can be made from my Etsy shop.

If I have success with these three images from my Shenandoah Valley Collection, I will add more.  Nature and our farm are my most popular subjects at the moment.

Let me know what you think of my first release.

Yes...I really want your feedback!

Holiday Season 2013

The Holiday Season is fast approaching.  Christmas is two months away.

Will you be ready???  Remember the adage…”Time Flies”.  You know everyone believes those two little words because they are so true.

Now is the time to not only start thinking about your gift purchases, but to start making them.  Give yourself enough time to consider each special person on your gift list. Then, make that unique purchase, wrap the gift with love and finally give with your heart.  What a joy for you and the recipient!

The entire process can be a wonderful experience, if…you begin early.  Do not let the last minute holiday rush get you down.  It is your choice to enjoy…or not.  I suggest you choose the ‘enjoy’ option. 

Who is on your gift list?  A special friend, your Mother, your sister, your Aunt, your child’s favorite teacher, your Secret Santa pal, someone you want to thank, your daughter, a distant cousin…the list goes on.

Add happiness to someone’s life and you will feel the happiness, too!

May I suggest a one-of-a-kind, very unique beaded necklace that I have made with love from my farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.  Each and every necklace is original as no patterns have been used and no duplication have been made. 

To make these necklaces even more special, I have included a few with fabulous zippered bags that are ideal for storage, travel and, of course, gift-giving.  These bags are made and are available through the Etsy shop, LHMaterials.  (see October 1, 2013 blog - A Partnership..of sorts) So, if you want to add bags to other necklace choices, you can visit that shop directly to make a purchase to complete the necklace/bag pairing.

Both my shop, MtnGlen, and LHMaterials ship quickly to satisfy our customer needs.  Try us once and see how we do.  I know you will be satisfied with the products and customer service - you will want to return again.

Are you ready to shop? Have fun!

P.S.  NAME CHANGE ONLY - Etsy shop LHMaterials is now SewFabricDeals

A Partnership....of sorts

Recently, within the last week to be specific, I initiated a loose partnership with a fellow Etsy shop/seller.

 

I searched for a product that I thought would enhance my one-of-a-kind necklaces and that my necklaces would pair with other product nicely...I found that product and Etsy shop, LHMaterials.

 

I contacted the shop owner Lisa and we almost immediately formed this partnership...I advertise her shop on my Etsy necklace listings and she advertises my shop on her bag listings - perfect!

 

I also bought five of her beautiful, handmade bags to include with five of my necklaces.  Those bags really add to the desirability of those necklaces.  And, why not...they are adorable, well made and so useful.  The bags are not only a soft and appropriate storage for my beaded necklaces, but they are also great as a travel case AND together, the pairing makes a wonderful gift - think BBF, teacher appreciation, Mother, Aunt, Sister...

 

It's easy...purchase one of my necklace/bag combinations or buy a necklace from my Esty shop and peruse/buy a bag that either matches or makes a statement from LHMaterials.

 

Here are the necklace/bag combos you can purchase from my shop. Do not think too long...I imagine they will go fast especially with the holidays rapidly approaching.
