Fairy Hair Ornaments!

Skybluedesigns2 shop at Etsy has fabulous hair ornaments. Below is the Beautiful Antiqued Silver Plate Victorian Fairy Hair Barrette. To die for! Skybluedesigns2 says about this work of art: "I created this barrette using antiqued silver plated pieces with Victorian inspired design ."

The next one is: Beautiful OOAK Antiqued Silver Victorian Fairy Small Hair Barrette. Skybluedesigns2 says: "I created this one of a kind small barrette using antiqued silver plated pieces."

Skybluedesigns2's shop announcement:

"I create hair clips in all different sizes and designs. Almost all of my barrettes are one of a kind designs. I love anything Victorian so many of my barrettes reflect that influence. I also create mythological and fantasy type barrettes. I've been known to create some Goth and biker themed barrettes as well. I use brass, copper and silver plated materials in all of my designs. It is not uncommon to find pewter, cameos, glass stones or crystal pieces as well. "

***********************************************************************

I am in awe of these beautiful creations and of the craftmanship. One would think that these great works of art would be expensive, wouldn't one? Not so!

And What About Gnomes?

Buzz Handmade has Gnomes!

I don't know much about Gnomes, but I hear that they consort about in Fairy Land. Buzz Handmade has Gnomes that are either hand felted or in the form of beeswax candles.

This little guy is sweet, happy and easy going, but since he's a 3 year old, he's also a bit of a stinker. He is stylish and cosy in his teal robe with goldenrod trim. This little fella stands 6 inches tall to the tip top of his pointy hat, and would love to come romp in your garden. Little Ike is made of needle felted wool and is mostly for cherishing, although he could stand up to gentle play (though he may fuzz a bit).

This is a beeswax candle in the shape of a little bearded gnome fellow. He is a life sized replica of an actual gnome (which in case you are not familiar, is 2 inches wide and just a touch over 4 inches tall).

There are many more interesting handmade items at Buzz Handmade's shop.

Buzz Handmade's shop announcement says: "Be good to bees." ~ and~

"I make natural party supplies, soy candles and beeswax items for you to use and enjoy. We love parties and think that they are much more special with hand made party goods, not to mention less wasteful and more earth (and kid) friendly! "
