INTRODUCING...The Newest Members of the Etsy Angels Street Team!You may or may not know about the Etsy Street Team, ♥ Angels ♥.
A little background information:
Our Team was formed after the many hours spent together promoting for Dawn’s Boys; an effort that began in late December 2007 after a Jewelry artist who was on both Etsy and Ebay lost her life in an automobile accident. She left behind two little boys. Several "Angels" came together to help. After spending countless hours promoting donations from more people than we could imagine that wanted to help, many friendships were made. We couldn’t imagine it all ending without creating a Team for Dawn’s Angels. ♥
Our group is a Self-Representing Team of Artisans that create a variety of unique handmade items including Artisan Jewerly, Lampwork Glass and Polymer Clay Beads, Bath and Body Products, Quilts, Knits and Plush, children's clothing and accessories, and Paper Products to name a few.
Our goal and strength as a group is helping others in need. ♥ We select various charities to give our hearts to. ♥ During our Charity Events, we donate portions of the sales of handmade items in our shops to the cause in which we are helping at that time. There's not a better feeling than to know you are helping someone or something in need! Yes, we donate to both our 2-legged friends, and our 4-legged friends!
Over the last couple of months, we've accepted 6 new members. Please take the time to "get to know" our new Angels, and visit their Etsy shops! ♥
1. ♥ Cindy of
Bundles of Joy
Bundles of Joy creates high quality, one of a kind, handmade baby gear. A stay at home Mom with a need for a creative outlet, she focuses on creating things that appeal to both parents and children with her sometimes modern, sometimes retro, sometimes playful, always graphically appealing colorful cotton prints and soft plush fabrics. Given to fits of whimsy, she also feature onesies appliquéd with prints of art by young artists and will sometimes throw other things in the mix from my varied interests. Call it artist ADD, and you won't be too far off. The artist gets paid for each onesie sold – part for now, part for college.
2. ♥ Michelle of
Silk Creek Gallery
Michelle loves making jewelry. It helps her unwind in the evenings. A friend/coworker took her to a bead show about 3 yrs ago so she could find turquoise beads to make a necklace (she loves turquoise). She has since become a bead addict. Michelle's favorite materials....silver, faceted gem stones, and lampwork. She loves sharing her designs and hopes you'll enjoy them!!!
3. ♥ Sharona of
Raisin Like
She's an illustrator, puppeteer, jewelry maker and an enthusiastic craftster in general. She enjoys everything colorful, beautiful and soft and keeps experimenting with new techniques and genres.
4.♥ Sarah of
Princess Tiffany's Creations
She has been making and selling bows~n~such for 2 years. She was inspired to start making her own bows when her niece came into this world. Funny thing is that she rips the bows out immediately! She loves working with ribbon and crocheting.
5. ♥ Peggy of
Arriving Angels
Peggy has been sewing since she was around 8 years old. She did her first 4-H fair when she was 9. Her Granny taught her how to sew. She went to a quilting club with her mom a few years back and the club was working on a rag quilt for charity and Peggy just loved it. She tried one and was hooked!
She gets her inspiration from a variety of things. She finds herself getting up when she can't sleep to sew, she loves to sew for babies, so they definitely inspire her! And her son, it's a place for her to go to work, to keep her mind busy and to talk to her son! Peggy's granddaughters come to her house and if she's sewing, they love to be there with her. Her oldest granddaughter opens the door to her sewing room and says..."I just love the smell of this room". *Smile* She is the only person on her husband's side of the family that sews or for that matter crafts, so anything handmade is much appreciated and loved! She loves creating for all of them! She does, however, miss sitting with her Granny and sewing!
6. ♥ Elaine of
Brynn Alex
Elaine's Shop,
Brynn Alex, was created in remembrance of her beautiful daughter Brynn, Dec/94 to Jan/07. Brynn was always designing, crafting, drawing, painting, writing! Elaine is working to preserve the memory of her gorgeous Brynnie. Everything is crafted in loving memory of Brynn. The proceeds go to her bursary fund, so that someone may go to fashion design school or an arts program in her name.
