New in shop....

Just a quick post to let you all know I've added more jewelry to my Etsy shops. More leather wrap bracelets at RobinsEggBlue and simple $10 earring at junebugz.

More to add next week!

The Last of the Pin Cushion Rings...

I made the very last batch of my pin cushion rings- made from hand-felted wool balls and little vintage enamel stickpins. Very cute and very useful!

I bought a whole bunch of these little vintage stickpins years ago not knowing what to do with them- they were pennies a piece. (I went through my ebay phase where I bought anything unusual and vintage I could find!) I tried to get more & saw similar pins on ebay for $5 a piece! I think they look right at home perched on their rings- just waiting a new home.

These are all listed in my sister-shop (not my sister's shop!) www.junebugz.etsy.com. Everything in my Junebugz shop is under $20- check it out!

More tomorrow!

.Cleveland in Living Color!!!

My little junebugz patches were just featured on an Etsy treasury list created by photohale.  Check out the entire list here- it's such a happy collection of local Cleveland Etsy talent.  It's funny that in this cyber world I'm connected to people from all over the globe, and sadly I don't know the faces of these talented local artists.

I'm selling off some of these little patches in my junebugz shop that I use to make my linen Matryoshka bags (below).

Well, I'm off to sew.  This gorgeous weather we had this weekend was spent outside with good friends, and I haven't made anything in days.  Behind on special orders, also preparing for a 1st Communion party this weekend- I have to sneak in some creative hours.  Hopefully I can post pics of the bags I'm making with my recent vintage fabric finds this week!

Happy Tuesday!

A Fresh Look For Junebugz

Those of you who know me know that Junebugz was my first Etsy shop.  Last fall, when I lost my job (design director for 20+ years in the surface design industry) I decided to go full force with my craft business- and have never looked back!  RobinsEggBlue became my main shop, and with the help of an incredibly talented web designer & mixed media artist- Jaime Beitler, RobinsEggBlue got a whole new look.  

Junebugz was just in limbo, so I decided to spruce up the place, add a new banner, and add some new vintage supplies.  I just did some spring cleaning, and will be listing some fun vintage beads, ephemera, and other vintage supplies.  So check out the new look at Junebugz over the next few days- there's something for everyone!
