BlueHeartBoutique

Today I wanted to show you guys this niffty little shop I found on etsy.!

When I asked BlueHeart a few things. This is what she had to tell me.!



Creating has always been a part of my life. When I was younger I had a love for making collages out of construction paper and crayons. That developed into a greater love for drawing when I entered high school. My freshman year I was given a tiny sewing machine because of my love for fashion. I didn't appreciate it then, partly because I didn't even know where to begin.


My senior year of high school, everything blossomed. I took a painting class and completely fell in love with oil paints. Upon graduation, my mom advised me to buy something memorable with the money friends and family had given me (in her words "don't go blow it on clothes"). I was actually looking for paint materials in a craft store when I stumbled acrossed a sewing machine that was on sale. It was love at first sight.


I am now a sophomore in college and I have found still no greater love than creating. I am completely self taught in sewing and although I have bought various books in attempt to learn techniques, I get more fulfillment out experimenting myself. While sewing is my favorite method of creating, I still have a love for paper and painting. I really love it all.


Last year sometime, I began reading blogs such as decor8 and Bliss and through those blogs I stumbled across many others as well as Etsy. The more I discovered about Etsy the more I loved it, I loved the deep appreciation for handmade items and all things vintage. It was just my thing. It took me several months to work up the courage to create a shop, and several more before listing items.


Now I am just trying to work on producing a bigger inventory as well as promotion techniques. Unfortunately BlueHeartBoutique sometimes has to be put on the backburner however because I am a full time college student and of course that must come first. I am really excited for all of this to be happening in my life however, and I am so thankful that God has given me the chance to do this and I hope He has even bigger plans for me and this adventure.


I made it my unwritten rule that I must love whatever it is I create before I can list in the shop. If I don't love it, then how can I expect someone else to? I realize that everyone has different styles and preferences but I hope to reach out to those women who love being unique individuals. All of my clothing is handmade by me and each piece is one of kind, which means there is something special about each one.


My favorite piece at the moment is my Wildflower Dress of the bright colors.

I love autumn because of its colors, and so the rich reds and oranges in this fabric really spoke to me. The style is somewhat simple, because I wanted the pattern in the fabric to take center stage in this piece. It is stretchy for comfort, the perfect length to wear with boots, and the long sleeves keep your arms from being chilled in the autumn weather. It will definately be one of my all-time favorites.

Overall, I think BlueHeart is a amazing etsy shop, and very cute!

Holiday Review 4

Yes people! It almost that time of the year! Time to start your Holiday Shopping. I am putting together a couple amazing Holiday Reviews on some great shops and the item(s) they sent me. I hope that you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed putting this together.

Today I am reviewing another amazing etsy shop, AlteredBeauty. Altered makes some really cool jewelry! She makes things such as Glass Tile Pendants and super cool Steampunk Jewelry.

Here is what I got from AlteredBeauty!



The shipping was very fast, everything got here in 2 days priority mailed in a little box! Everything was individually bagged, tagged, and wrapped. AlteredBeautys packaging was very cute, I have to admit she out did me! I received both pendents in an adorable little black drawstring baggie. What I found first when I dove into the little baggie was an adorable skully glass tile pendent. The pendent is perfect, no scratches, scrapes or bubbles, and it is attached to a high quality silver plated bail. The next thing I found was the awesome "Curiosity Bottle." It is a tiny little glass bottle filled with a tone of awesomely creepy looking things! It really makes you curious. =) I love AlteredBeautys jewelry, and I already have one of her necklace on the way to me!

Today I reviewed one of my favorite etsy shops, BeadingByBawissa. Bawissa makes hand beaded items of all sorts. A few things are earrings, bracelets, beaded pens, and cell phone charms.

Here is what I got from Bawissa!



The shipping was super duper fast, only two day! Everything was wrapped neatly and individually packaged then sent in a bubble mailer. Inside I found a super nice handwritten note, and I LOVE when I get little notes! The two beaded snowflake holiday ornaments are super adorable and very well made, they have earned a spot on my tree for the holidays! The snowflake earrings I received were so cute! I ripped open the package and threw them in my ears, like it was Christmas already! I am personally going to be buying some products from BeadingByBawissa soon. You should to!

Holiday Review 2

Yes people! It almost that time of the year! Time to start your Holiday Shopping. I am putting together a couple amazing Holiday Reviews on some great shops and the item(s) they sent me. I hope that you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed putting this together.

Today we have an cute little shop called Gemini5757. Gemini makes Beaded Jewellry, such as beaded twist rings, chokers, drop necklaces, brooch's and some lovely earrings.

Here is what I got from Gemini!


Shipping was LIGHTNING FAST!!! All the way from Canada to the United States, I received it in 3 days. The ring was wrapped super safely in a bubble mailer and then in some fun green sparkly tissue paper. I love the hand written note that I received in the package! It was folded a million times and made into a tiny little heart, It was a nice touch. The ring is very cute, and durable. It doesn't hurt when you wear it like some rings do. I would HIGHLY recommend Gemini for all your adorable beaded ring needs. =]
