Russian Artists Team Fathers Day Contest

The Fathers day is less than 2 weeks away and we are all looking for great gift ideas for our own fathers and our husbands. Russian Artists Team just had a Fathers Day Contest when all of the team shops were welcome to nominate their gift idea for the holiday. So many great items took part in the contest and all of them without an exception will make a great Fathers Day gift. All of the nominations are available for viewing at Russian Artists Team Facebook page.

Although all of the hand crafted and unique items taking part in the contest are special, I picked three to feature on my blog. Each of the three items is very different and they will make a great gift!

1. Forest cuff links by HoneyCase2

2. Morning Original by marina826


3. Adorable birch bark helmet VIKING by fromSiberia

Spring post cards exchange

I've recently received four amazing post cards from my Russian Artists fellow team members. The original idea of the post cards exchange belongs to Albina from AroundBeads. Albina came up with a great idea of writing a few with warm words about spring to a few members of our team. I got beautiful cards from Albina AroundBeads, Lena SFBeads, Lena Lazo, Natalia HansHolzkopf and it was a surprise. Although I expected to get post cards I didn't know where they would come from. Thank you so much for wonderful cards and your sincere and kind words!!!

Happy Halloween findings on Etsy

I just created a Happy Halloween collection featuring bright orange Etsy findings. It's amazing how many wonderful pieces are created and sold on Etsy every day! It took me some time to locate these favorites as there are so many great items to choose from! My children love Halloween. I suspect they love it more than Christmas. Although I doubt if it's possible! Ok! They love Halloween at least as much as they love Christmas! So here is my tribute to Halloween!


I featured the following great Etsians in the Happy Halloween treasury:
MyWayToSay, FleetingStillness, graphicland, SilkMagic, bumblestore, Oksa, VitalTemptation, TomBjornDesigns, Beautyland, CuffeShop, FineEmbroidery, katrinshine, KarisaGraphic, cushyadornments, CityCrochet, herbolution
