This-n-That Boutique - {Fabulous Finds in Etsy World}

Let's Meet the Owner ~ Valery

"I have been crocheting for over 20 years and was taught at a young age from my grandmother. I have always loved it and just never realized how much until about 4 years ago I started crocheting hats for babies. I started on eBay and then found the wonderful world of Etsy. I started out in August of 2010 with my shop and then in March of 2011 started working with photographers and trading work for pictures and fell in love. I work hard to make a quality product at a reasonable price. Being a mom to 7 amazing kids and having a large family I know that when you spend money you want it to be on something that is worth every dime. I also strive to make sure that you are treated with the best customer service I can give. My first passion is being a mom, second is crochet but I love to bake, garden and blogging on the side. "

Fancie Strands - {Fabulous Finds in Etsy World}

Let's Meet the Owner ~ Tammy

"My name is Tammy and I am a southern girl all the way through and a mother of two very spirited children who have mad talents in getting their way. I love alot of good coffee! My husband is my best friend, high school sweetheart and my number one supporter of FancieStrands. My family and I live on 4 acres in Tennessee - we love the beauty and the serenes. I retired from my cosmetology job of 25 years in July 2010 to further persue my creative career and open FancieStrands. I love working with fine fabrics such as silk chiffon, satin, duponi silk, silk gauze velvet and linen. The whispy feathers I incorporate make my pieces ethereal and elegant. I finish each piece with beautiful vintage or modern lace, vintage jewels, sparkly rhinestones, crystals or pearls. Every handcrafted piece is created for the modern bride and an original design by me exclusively for FancieStrands. My enjoyment comes from making every bride feel special and beautiful on her wedding day. I welcome a challenge and custom orders are encouraged."

Curious Catfish - {Fabulous Finds in Etsy World}

Let's Meet the Owner ~ Christie
I have always loved to draw. It has always given me something to feel good about. I was very shy as a child and art allowed me to shine without having to speak. The words were in the images. It gave me an outlet through which I could express myself but it also gave me the confidence that I needed.
I graduated from art school and for a while I was very dedicated to “making “it in the art world but I found that showing in galleries wasn’t really for me.
Since having my two daughters, my priorities have, of course changed but art is still a big part of my life. However, I have changed the way I think about my art. When I was younger I dealt with huge topics like life and death in my art. I felt that every brush stroke carried a hidden meaning and I had to be ready to reveal that meaning at a moment’s notice. Now I feel that much of the meaning in my art comes from the act of creating. The quiet place in my mind that I can go when I am working is now more important to me than a finished painting filled with symbolism and concepts.
Right now I am painting small watercolor paintings and placing them in pendants. Who knows what I will be making in the future but for now I am really enjoying being a mom as well as having my own creations to work on when I need some time  to myself.

The Red Accent - {Fabulous Finds in Etsy World}

Let's Meet the Owners ~ Heather and Erin

"The Red Accent is the idea of Heather McClure and myself, Erin Ezzel. We both come from a background in Nursing, which is an exciting, exhausting, and fast paced field with ups and downs like any business. We both have enjoyed the field of Nursing (even as I write this, I continue to be a part of it), but have had a passion for design, home décor, and forming a new business. Late in 2011, we decided to take our passion and begin the adventure by forming The Red Accent."

"All of our products are hand crafted designs or refurbished antique items. Our hand crafted designs are inspired by what we see in our everyday lives and the beauty that can be seen from all around. We believe the classics will never go away and only need to be brought back to live with some modern flare, which leads us to our refurbished items. Heather and I see the beauty in antiques and strive to refurbish them."

"On a side note - the background behind the name is simple – we both love Red and we can’t help but enjoy a little splash of Red here and there to create a perfect accent."
