Beyond Earth & Rustic Way of Life

Beyond Earth

I have the treasury bug and it may be contagious, but it sure is a lot of fun! So I'm sharing this little 'bug' with you.

Rustic Way of Life

Hope you enjoy all the talented artists in these treasuries.

Peace,

Creative Streak

I've been on a bit of a creative streak lately and here is just a sampling to share.

I really and truly love how my Rustic duo above turned out! I already had my Rustic Bud Studs selling in my shop, but a customer wanted my Simply Sweet Copper Hoops in my Rustic finish as well. Wow! Love them!

My Small Swirly Hoops have become a bit popular in my shop. These can be worn alone or they make a great interchangeable earring wire.

Okay, yes it's a hoop. But not ANY hoop - these secure little cuties are my Hippie Hoops. You have to read the description to understand why :)

Sophisticated Squovals. They are from uptown and like bright lights to reflect the sparkle that bounces off of them. Sun glasses may be required.

Well, that's all for now. There are more new goodies in my shop, but don't want to seem like a glutton here - just sharing :)

Happy Creative day to you!

Firewood Furniture

We find inspiration in one form or another, such as working in a garden, a beautiful hike or snowshoeing in the woods, gazing into the waves of an ocean - the list is endless. Nestled in the rural area of Western Massachusetts, you'll find Chuck & Devon of Firewoood Furniture, who find inspiration in the natural world around them.

Firewood Furniture - no, their creative art is not used for firewood! It's all in the name and to quote Devon, here is how they came up with their business name:

"it is a combination of the materials we use. We use birch trees as our logo because we love them, but also because they are a pioneer species that is the first to spread new growth to an area after fire. It seems to fit the name Firewood well. The name also has some irony for us. We both grew up in rural areas where signs for "Firewood" were posted everywhere. And of course, we like to think that nothing we create would be used for firewood unless the apocalypse were upon us :) So our name is partly serious and partly our weird sense of humor."

Chuck is the woodworker and Devon creates ceramics. They like to combine their skills to come up with unique pieces that are both functional and beautiful. You must see their shop to see what I mean. Read their Profile as well, very informative.

Not only do Chuck and Devon sale their work on Etsy, but they also do craft shows. Most of their smaller work is on Etsy, which they heard about in Venus Zine several years ago and finally decided to open up a shop. Glad they did because I'm the proud owner of one their Rustic Serving Trio sets, similar to the one below:

Oh but alas, they have more than gorgeous furniture! Go visit their shop and you'll find beautiful cutting boards, magnets, tiles, earrings and more. I can almost smell the wood and feel the cool sensation of the ceramics just browsing their shop.

Happy shopping!
