Anyone can put some pretty beads on a string and sell some jewelry, however, it takes a certain level of artistic insight and a higher level of attention to detail to really pull of some of the beautiful wonders I have seen from our Busy Moms that make jewelry. After having searched through all of our wonderful Busy Moms of Etsy, I have found the following items to not only be appealing to my own personal taste, but they look as though a lot of thought and many woman hours have gone into these. (Of course this is just my opinion). And I recommend you check all of them out because they all have beautiful things you can do that here

---------------------------------------------------------------

I found this wonderful design at New Hope Beading and I strongly urge you to check out her many other items that she has in her shop

Now that I have your attention, lets move onto some more handmade creations from our Busy Moms of Etsy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The next shop is called Jacaranda Designs In this Etsy shop there are many beautiful items to choose from as well! The one I found to be most ornate or detailed to me is this

This item is also currently available for free shipping!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Another item I would like to share with all of you is definitely an "out of the box" jewelry piece. It is lovely and unique you can find it at EminTaos

And wrapping up this blog of great jewelry designs, we will finish it off with EsThings. I found these lovely earrings listed below at her shop perfect for the upcoming holiday season.

As always, you should never take my word for it, it is only my opinion. So I encourage you to go to this site and become a follower so you can see all the other Busy Moms of Etsy and all the other wonderful wares they sell at Etsy

Wednesday Wonderment 09/23/09

This weeks Etsy features have been put together for expectant mom's and dad's.

Having been an expectant mother twice in my lifetime, I can't tell you how eager I was to run out and buy "something, anything" to acknowledge my pregnancy. There are many things a person is going to need to help feed, cloth and carry their new little bundle of joy, and where's a better place to look, than with other moms!
So, to start off, let's find some cute clothes!

One of our Busy Moms has a shop called Cantaloupe Corner. She has oodles of cute little creepers for your baby to crawl around in. I found this one that I think is just to cute to pass up

Here she specializes in handmade tees and accessories not only for you new baby, but for toddlers, preschoolers and moms too! Go check her out!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course what would Christmas time be without cold weather? You are gonna wanna bundle that little baby up! I found this cute little stocking hat,

that will keep your child warm while sporting another beautiful handmade item from another mom! This mom calls her shop Huggermugger. There are also other wonderful items in her shop that you should take a gander at too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although your precious little dear will look so cute in his or her little hat and creeper, don't forget, they make messes too! I found a shop called Baby Jayne's. Here you can get the cutest burp clothes that will have you smiling while burping your baby.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aside from preparing for the birth of your new little miracle, you will want to let everyone know all about him or her. Upon my travels through the Busy Moms of Etsy website, I came across Diva's 3 Design and found these well put together announcements. Of course, since red is my favorite color, I was definitely more drawn to this one.

As always, these shops are run by Busy Moms! Go check out their blog at Busy Moms of Etsy and become a follower so you can stay current with Time & Money Saving Tips, Hot Deals and other features provided by other busy moms.
