Raspberry Parfait Handmade Soap
Notes from the artist :
Warning: Do not eat!
This is a hand made whipped cold process soap with a wonderful ripe raspberry scent. We got the inspiration for this soap when we were on vacation and had a luscious raspberry parfait for dessert. We wanted to start out each and every day remembering the wonderful time we had!
Life is too short not to start each and everyday with soap that makes you happy!

May 2008 Challenge Entry – Coin Pearl Necklace by Odds
April 29, 2008
This peach/cream-colored pearl is extremely shiny and will help you “dress up” even a casual outfit.
Due to the nature of pearls, there might be some color and shape variations on the pearl. However, I carefully inspect each pearl before using it in order to make sure it is not flawed!
This pendant is made of a single coin pearl that measures 8mm (1/2 inch). Included with the pendant is a 17″ sterling silver box chain. If you’re interested in the pendant without the chain, it costs only $9.00! Please send me a convo and I’ll set up a custom listing for you.
Also check out the matching Coin Earrings, which are also available in my shop.
100% of the sale proceeds will be donated to Etsy for Charity (EFC) Charity of the Month.


Mom would definitely love these pink polka dots flowers!

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
http://www.stjude.org
Finding cures. Saving children.
St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.
We are where some of today’s most gifted researchers are able to do more science, more quickly. Where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients. Where no one pays for treatment beyond what is covered by insurance, and those without insurance are never asked to pay. We’ve built America’s 3rd-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops.
All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family’s ability to pay.
EFC Team donated $50.00 to this charity in May.

Trifold Fairy Card with 2 Tags
Notes from the artist :
This Fairy Card is trifolded and comes with two tags.
The front of the card has a fairy and when you open it there is a flower and the word “Hello” and then when you open that section it is blank on the inside.
I also made two tags that you can use with the card or attach to a gift. They can also be used for scrapbooking. When the card is opened it is 6×12 inches.
Hope you like them!

Notes from the artist :
There is nothing like felt. Felting is the process in which natural fibers are fused together to form solid “fabrics”. The possibilities are endless!
This pin is made with both the wet felting and needle felting techniques. The inspiration for this pin was right out my window high up in a sugar maple tree.
My shop features felted treasures including felted pottery: focusing on shape, color and function as well as nature-inspired accessories and toys for children.

Fashionable Purple Fun Fur Skinny Scarf
Notes from the artist:
I love working with soft yarns, and angel hair is one of my favorites! It has a very plush feel.
When I picked out the colors, I was thinking of my younger sister who loves purple!
Today, April 16, is her birthday and while she didn’t want this particular scarf (she has a custom order placed with me for one just like it, only “more wintery”), I thought it was a great way to celebrate her birthday!

Soy Candle in Handmade Pottery – African Rain
Notes from the artist :
I have combined my love of throwing pottery with my love of scented soy candles. This happens to be one of my favorites as it has the look of weathered copper and the fragrance, African Rain, is wonderfully visceral.
I am an avid supporter of Kiva.org, helping small entrepreneurs in the developing world help themselves and 10% of all sales of my Etsy shop will go toward that organization.
