Stuff We Like

September14

We are inundated with so much: BUY THIS! GET THAT! IT IS NEW! IT IS IMPROVED!  So I know the last thing you ladies (and gentlemen) need is another blog giving a review of more products… and that isn’t what this is.

When you find something amazing, worth talking about, you are supposed to do just that—talk about it. So here is an, unpaid and unsolicited, review of a great Etsy shop that deserves your attention. I have watched some of these mosaics being constructed and I can say, with confidence, that you get nothing but creativity and quality.

Vanessa Ryerse is a Northwest Arkansas resident who happened upon creating mosaics as a means of channeling her creativity and love for all things forgotten. She is someone whom, from the moment you meet her, strikes you as a being who infuses beauty and creativity in all she does. Her approach comes from a belief that, “too many beautiful things are discarded.” Vanessa has an amazing selection of vintage items as well as handmade mosaics. Please stop by her Etsy Shop and view her selections. You can also find her HERE and HERE

    Thanks for the tip. I covet so much on Etsy, and yet I also want to be able to do JUST ONE of those creative things myself. Ah well, until that gene kicks in, I’ll visit other stores I love and buy from their creative genes …

    Sometimes, I wish I had even half the talent of some of these shop owners on Etsy — so many beautiful creations!

    Thanks for the heads up! I visit Etsy only occasionally and usually because someone has recommended a specific shop. I love the idea of buying handmade but often don’t know where to start or what I’m looking for. But those things are gorgeous, and I think I’m going to have to keep some of them in mind for my sister!

Jasmine Brown and Sadie Perkins have been friends for several years. They are both graduates of John Brown University. They both were born in September, love chocolate, coffee, swearing, and loving on their babies. While they share many commanilites- they are from two different worlds. Sadie, a New Mexico native, grew up in a blended family, while Jasmine, an Oklahoman, grew up with a single parent. Jasmine and Sadie are passionate about being mothers, in different way.  Sadie is the mother of The Norah. Norah is a bright one year old who can clear the room with her vocal stylings.  Sadie swears she can only get pregnant with girls- lest she have to deal with a booger eating boy! Isaiah is Jasmine’s son. He is two years old. He is nicknamed “Toad” because he tends to be well…. toady. Jasmine thinks she is only cut out to mother boys… because, well, she is a Tom Boy herself.

Join these two women  and read about their crazy daily happenings!!!
