A Three-for-One Thursday Theme

Fall is finally here!

With tomorrow being the official day that fall begins, in celebration of the Autumnal Equinox (first day of Fall) I thought it would be fun to show off some of the Autumn finds I stumbled across this week.

Autumn is a time of changing leaves and cooler weather, last harvests and... well, we can't forget Halloween, of course! If you have a party to go to or some trick or treating to do and plan on bringing your pup along, you might stop by and check out the doggie tutus over at Turquoise Angels on Etsy. Pumpkin Orange Powder Puff Dog Tutu - $24.00 USD

I fell in love with this little bottle with eyedropper created by KCDragonfly on Etsy. The pretty Autumn leaves of the hand-beaded bottle collar are a perfect celebration of the Autumn season's colors. This bottle would be perfect for perfume or any elixir and pretty enough to display! Beaded Memory Bottle with Autumn Leaf Bottle Collar - $12.00 USD

If you like to accessorize for the season's changes, Unakite gemstones is a beautiful stone to wear for Fall. Here's one created by Beaderbubbe on Etsy that's a combination of rich olive green and shades of salmon pink with a touch of silver tone accents. Unakite and Memory Wire Accent Bracelet - $25.00 USD

Whether looking for accessories, home decor or other ideas for the season, the handmade marketplace is a terrific place to shop! Be sure to stop by places like Etsy and Artfire to explore ideas for a fresh look for Fall!

Whether you're looking for some trinkets to accessorize a party or spice up an outfit, today's feature shop is a stop you won't want to breeze by.

AbsolutelyKismet on Etsy is filled with simple, colorful ideas for home and attire.

This shop offers a variety of products from beautiful hemp and beaded jewelry pieces to wine charms for parties and stitch markers for those who crochet or knit.

I'm especially drawn to the wine charms in this shop that are designed with shimmering crystals and .22 bullet casings. I find the design to be both innovative and pretty as well as unique all at the same time!

At the same time, the bracelet pictured above also caught my eye. It has a simple elegance that draws me almost as much as the splashes of vibrant color do!

The artist behind this shop is from Spearfish, South Dakota where she spends her time crafting and started out in this journey of creativity with making wine charms for family and friends. This grew into a passion for making jewelry as well and she loves designing her pieces with a flair for personal individuality.

AbsolutelyKismet takes custom orders for just this purpose and almost everything in her shop is customizable on request as well. This allows you to put your own personal mark of individuality and taste upon whatever you order if the fancy strikes you to do so.

So whether you're shopping for a bit of fun decor for a party or some decoration to dangle from your ears, neck or wrist... if you love color this is a shop you won't want to miss!

NeoVictorian, Gothic & Steampunk Jewelry and Accessories

Today's shop is one of whimsey and creativity combined with a heavy splash of the romantic with a bit of an edge to it.

Specializing in handcrafted jewelry from Victorian to Neo-Victorian as well as Steampunk, Gothic and Whimsical, the PoisonGarden on Etsy holds a variety of beautiful, stylish delights no jewelry lover will want to miss browsing through.

I personally find this style of jewelry to be very seductive and alluring. In fact, that's why I picked the picture to the right. It emanates that mysterious, provocative quality that I find so intriguing in the creations in this shop!

The Poison Garden is ran by three charmingly eccentric and impressively crafty ladies from Indiana who work together to bring these beautiful creations to the world through their shop on Etsy.

Suzette (the butterfly queen), Crystal (the pumpkin tender) and Melissa (the toad catcher) each bring their own sense of style and fun into the pieces of jewelry offered in the Poison Garden.

The Poison Garden offers not just many handmade jewelry pieces with a flavor to the past in their designs, but also a collection of vintage and revamped vintage items in several styles.

If you're a fan of Victorian style, steampunk flare or have a love for whimsical jewelry, this is one shop you won't want to miss.

Quality Handcrafted Crochet and More

A number of years ago, a co-worker of mine created me a crocheted bookmark and I was amazed at it's finished result. When she told me what she was making, I expected it to be too thick and bulky. Instead, it was thin and delicate yet sturdy and durable... and not to mention beautiful!

It became one of my favorite bookmarks and, unlike a variety of bookmarks that I've had since then and lost, I still have this beautiful bookmark today.

Today's shop, Ellen Mackler's Gmaellen on Etsy, carries bookmarks just like this. Beautifully crocheted but delicate, durable and yet thin enough to easily use as a bookmark between the pages of a book. And, these type of bookmarks are some of the most gentle you can use on books as well!

With limitless possibilities to explore in every ball of string, bookmarks aren't all that Ellen offers in her shop, either.

She offers a variety of items from bags and totes to kitchen accessories, baskets, jewelry, afghans and throws, dishcloths, washcloths, rugs, mats and more.

I found myself particularly drawn to not just her bookmarks but a large variety of the items I found in her shop. Her wine carriers and area rugs were also of interest to me personally and I'm sure you'll enjoy them as well.

If you like crocheted items, mesh bags or love bookmarks there's going to be plenty for you to fall in love with in this shop and if you're shopping for someone else, this is an excellent shop to stop by and browse in.

Hand-Painted Greeting Cards for Every Occasion

I love giving handmade cards. I find that people take a lot more time looking at and show a lot more interest in cards they are given that were made by hand rather than store bought.

Like rosaries and many other items, handmade holds special significance for certain items and cards are one of those items.

EmptyOnTheInside on Etsy is filled with handmade cards that have been painted by hand in beautiful, colorful designs. And, like the title of their shop says, the cards are all empty on the inside!

In this shop, "Empty On the Inside" has nothing to do with feeling blue or lonely or sad, it’s all about leaving space inside a thoughtfully-designed, hand-painted, handcrafted card for a personal, heart-felt message.

This allows you to add your own sentiments to the card rather than depending on some nameless, faceless company to splash some blurb across the card for you. It means that you can make the card your own, personalize it and make it truly special and unique for the person you are giving it to.

Empty on the inside has a wide variety of cards for every occasion as well. And each and every one of the cards is created with care by Annie Oliverio of Holdenville, OK for a personal touch.

Upcycle, Recycle, Reuse - A Rare Post by Leal

Upcycle, recycle and reuse has become one of the key-point mantras of today. And it's no wonder. With the world's population at an all-time high and our landfills filling to capacity, society needs a new outlook on consumable products and the packaging that houses them.

By upcycling, recycling and reusing ordinary items, you help prevent more waste from filling these landfills and by reducing the use of new manufactured product by using these upcycled, recycled or reused ones it can also help reduce the consumption of new, raw materials to make more of new materials.

Using less new manufactured materials then, by result, can result in a reduction of energy usage, air pollution, water pollution and more since there's less demand from the factories that make those new products.

So, as you can see, the mantra is an excellent one. After all. Just think for a minute how -big- a landfill you would need if every person in the world threw away -one- magazine. Just one. It might be "just one" to you, but when piled up with everyone else's.... The repercussions are mind-boggling.

In today's shop, they understand this concern for the environment 100% and are doing what they can to help minimize their own impact on the world.

UpcycleRecycleReuse on Etsy is filled with useful products made from upcycled, recycled and reused paper products.

By shopping in a shop like UpcycleRecycleReuse on Etsy, you are helping them help the world. And, with a variety of products for everyday use, they are an excellent shop to find items everyone needs from gift cards and gift tags to hand bound journals, handmade envelopes, paper embellishments for scrap-booking and more.

Take a browse through this shop and be inspired by the innovative and creative selection of items and ideas.

Goth and Cosplay Accessories and Handmade Parasols

The first thing I noticed about today's shop when I stopped by to take a browse around was this gorgeous parasol and after a quick browse, I found a handful more of them as well.

In North America today, parasols are used as fashion statements in many different styles of dress from goth to cosplay, Lolita, Victorian steampunk, wedding fashion and more. When I was little, I had one that was used to protect my skin from the sun because I'm so fair skinned. In today's shop you'll find a variety of these pretty, decorative items that, no matter the purpose you want them for, are sure to make the girl inside smile.

Also in KCDragonfly on Etsy, you can find goth fashion stockings, tarot card pouches and cell phone bags. (In fact, they have one with a dragon fly on it that I'm so in love with!)

There is also a variety of jewelry depicting ankhs, dragonflies, glass beads and more.

Kristine Cherry from Tarzana has a lot of creative interests and a definite flair towards the Gothic fashion and if you enjoy the style of the parasol you see here in this post you're sure to love a browse through her shop!

Prints and Charms Inspired by Vintage Books

I've always loved children's books and I have quite a collection that I've gathered over the years. Most of my books are vintage, because I have a love for the hand drawn artwork and watercolor prints found among their pages.

Lots of adorable artwork is scattered through the shop, offered in the form of both prints and note cards. And in the "Reading List" section you'll find a large section of vintage children's books as well!

Paul Bunyan and Christopher Robin sit side by side with other old favorites from Tom Sawyer to vintage Mickey Mouse!

Designs by M’Ayanna Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry

The very first thing I wondered when I saw today's feature shop was to wonder what the name meant.

Designs by M'Ayanna on Etsy.

It's a beautiful name. Colorful. Graceful. And these qualities are perfect for it's meaning as well! Because M'Ayanna means "Mommy and Ayanna".

How did this beautiful name come about?

When today's artisan first started creating jewelry, her focus was on finding a wonderful creative outlet for her pre-teen daughter. Instead, it turned into an outlet for her! Where her daughter's interests were fleeting and waned quickly (as children's interests often do), Patrice carried on creating beautiful designs and creative jewelry.

At first just a hobby to soothe the soul, as often happens with creative people, her creativity soon overflowed and has since developed into a business as well as a hobby.

Her daughter (now 18) still contributes, although now she is the creative critique rather than a jewelry designer herself and together their shop has developed into a beautiful home for an eclectic collection of jewelry styles and designs that are sure to spice up the outfits of any who wear them!

Uncomplicated, Pure and Simple Handcrafted Soaps

As I think I've mentioned once before on this blog, I have sensitive skin. Not just sensitive skin, but horribly, outrageously and sometimes extremely painful sensitive skin. I can get hives at the drop of a hat and uncomfortable dryness and itchiness within minutes of putting on perfume or using soap that my skin doesn't agree with.

Because of this, I have to be very careful what I use on my skin. For soap, it's a soothing oatmeal soap made with oatmeal and honey... no perfumes. Oatmeal is very soothing for the skin, and honey is a natural antibiotic.

Now, it's a lot lot harder than it seems it would be to find tis basic soap. Most soap makers seem to insist soap needs some kind of fragrance added, but my skin can't handle fragrance.

Today, I think I might have found myself a new soap shop to buy from though and I'd love to share it with all my readers.

MossyCreekSoaps on Etsy is a little shop filled with lots of natural, earthy soaps created by a certified handcrafted soap maker, Michelle Rhoades from Warner Robins, Georgia.

In Michelle's shop you can find a large variety of earthy, natural soaps made from scratch with olive and sunflower oils enriched with shea butter. Some are au-natural, with no fragrance at all. Others are deliciously scented with natural essential oils such as lavender, lemongrass, rosemary, spearmint and more.

Each type of soap is carefully cured for over a month and is available not just in her Etsy shop but also on the Mossy Creek Soaps website. There are also gift baskets, body butter and soy candles to browse through.

So if you like to take luxurious baths and love trying out new bath products (or you know someone who does) be sure to stop by. I'm tempted by so many of the soaps that Michelle has to offer that I wish I had more people to buy for!

Goddess Blends, Unique Bath Salts and Essential Oil Blends

In ancient times, sweet smelling plant oils were respected more for both their medicinal and healing properties than for their scents. Essential Oils are often referred to as "Mankind's First Medicine".

I've always been fascinated with this holistic type of medicine and have done a good deal of study in aromatherapy over the years. Not as much as Lilly DelValle from AncientOils on Etsy, though.

Lilly DelValle enjoys working with essential oils so much she's made an academic career out of it and even has a degree in metaphysics as well as several certifications in holistic energy healing. Aromatherapy is one of these healing techniques which is prominent in her shop, Ancient Oils on Etsy.

Aromatherapy is the inhalation of plant oils, called essential oils, for improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Essential oils are the pure essence of the plant that is collected through a number of methods to obtain the strongest oil possible from the plant.

These essential oils are often referred to as nature's living energy and can provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly as part of holistic healing methods or simply incorporated into everyday life.

Lilly DelValle carries a variety of therapeutic grade essential oils in her shop as well as unique blends created by her with a focus on holistic healing and spiritual connectivity. She carries not just essential oils and their blends but also bath salts, goats milk soap and a variety of other items from gift sets to mud masks and more.
