It's all About Cake!!

So I realize it's been far too long since I lasted posted anything to my blog. I figured it was high time i did! I racked my brain for the longest time trying to think about what to post and write about. I love to feature etsy sellers mostly on here. But who would be hext? It's so hard to decide.

So then i thought, why not highlight the lovely gals from the CAKE thread i am a part of on Etsy! They have been so incredibly nice and are just a ton of fun, and each one extremely talented!

So i guess it would be good to tell you what CAKE stands for first lol. CAKE = Creative Artists Kick-Ass Etsians. Anyway, it's a great group of people! They are, as i understand it, kind of an unofficial street team on etsy. But couldnt be any nicer people! We have a ton of fun on the thread - http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5688856 come check it out sometime!

I wish i could highlight each of the shops seperatly, but i am afraid it would take about 20 pages to do so! lol So here are just a few of my many favorites among them!

I just love this print from celebratelife. Her shop is so full of fun, cute, bright, cheery prints, cards and now pendants. Everything about her pieces just makes you smile! Just a blurb from her profile . "I'm a mom, sister, daughter, aunt and friend, and I believe that everything happens for a reason and that each and every day is a reason to celebrate."

Now if i could, if i won the lottery or something, i think i would buy this whole shop out! This beautiful piece of pottery is made from happylake. Her pieces are unique, one of a kind, and true treasures! I can only imagine her pictures don't do her work justice.

This really awesome suncatcher was made by none other than beadbug ! She makes all kinds of fun fused glass pieces, from pendants to suncatchers, and well all kinds of jewelry! I also really love her ladybug pendants too!

Cozyloft i think is known for her whimsical owls, and her shabby chic sachets, but i dont think many often see her beautiful art that she does too! Called Small World, I really love this original painting, described as modern minimalist. She was also, I believe, the first person i met on the CAKE thread and welcomed me in!

Now who wouldnt be captivated by this stunning necklace! It surely caught my eye! I am not sure i personally could pull it off, but i do definitly love it! Called Lusca Boho Chic Octopus, it really does just catch the eye. All of voleurdebijoux pieces have this old world romance feel about them. Truly stunning, and such a unique style and feel. To wear one of her pieces is like wearing mini treasures.

Behind Closed Doors is one of my favorites of DistressingDelilah's. Her photographs, mixed media, jewelry are all so unique and have this mysterious feel to them. She often uses old, vintage, and retro things to create her pieces, which i just love! Sometimes, dark, sometimes scary, sometimes sweet, but all very awesome!

I truly wish i could post something from each of the shops. And maybe my next blog post i will try and feature those i couldn't this time. But for now, please check out the shops! I have listed each one of the members below too, so you can have fun browsing them! They are all super nice and very friendly! Or come say hi sometime in the thread!

Let Me Introduce You To My Little Tiger Friend

Ok Maybe not Little! lol I am talking about http://liquidsabre.etsy.com/ I call her Liquid, or Sabre, or by her alter ego she is tigger to me! One of the very first people on etsy that i ever met in the forums. She has been a great support for me! Helping me with so many aspects of etsy and tweaking my shop to make it better. But, that is not all, she has been a great friend! Many a hours have been spent chatting and having fun, sharing ideas, thoughts and just making each other laugh.

Her talent is endless. She makes the most beautiful Jewelry! In fact i just recieved this lovely bracelet from her. (It's the black one in the center. ) She even handmade the clasp! The picture here cannot even do it justice!

She designs all her pieces using wonderful bright colors. Most of her pieces are made with silver wire, which i admit i love! I have always been a silver person. This piece here is a prime example of her beautiful work with silver. It's called Snowflake Obsidian . Which i just love her titles, or rather names! She wire wrapped the beads to create this stunning bangle. Truly beautiful!

This is a gorgeous set she made, Black Onyx Watch Bracelet Set. It was handmade with Black Onyx, Freshwater Pearls and Sterling Silver. The watch face is Silver Plated Geneva. It has a very classy and elegant look and feel to it. Perfect for a night out, special occasion, or anytime you just want to wear something special.

Her Earrings are always beautiful i think! And she always keeps a nice variety in different price ranges. I have a few pairs of hers i just love! Some that are more fun, different, and great for daily wear, like this pair here, called Tear Drop Glass Earrings are so pretty, and will go with anything!

But she also makes much more elegant earrings like her Corsette Earrings. I love the name because it sooo fits how they look! As she puts it, "Looks like the turquoise is wearing a corsette. That was the first thought I had when these were finished. " She also handmade the ear wires!

What i think i love the most is that this is a wonderful person, she will give you nothing but the best in customer service! She makes unique and beautiful pieces. And i love how she puts it (from her shop announcement): "All the jewelry I make, Belongs to someone else, not me. The hard part is finding out who it belongs to. So ask yourself, Does this belong to me or someone I know? "

Please check her out! You won't be dissapointed! And if you see a big white tiger around in the forums, say hi! That's her!

Oh and referring back to her "alter ego" she just opened up a jewelry supply shop too - called http://sabrestash.etsy.com if you ever need supplies, look her up!
