Featured Etsy Seller - March

Cards & Jewelry by Michele


mvegan5 (Vintage bead jewelry & handmade greeting cards) is the featured Etsy seller for the month of March. Her Etsy shop reflects her love of animals and nature. She paints and draws images of animals, hoping to express and share her love for nature and all living things. She has donated 10% of her sales to the Oakland SPCA in California and will choose different animal charities to donate to each month. She also creates jewelry from vintage and found pieces. She turns them into something new, wearable and beautiful. She has started an Etsy for Animals street team (to which I will be a member of!) and is also a member of EtsyGreetings street team. She welcomes custom orders.

I have chosen her chicky card and a pair of her handmade earrings as my favorites.

Here is what some of her buyers had to say:

very cute card and seller was a treat to do business with. Thumbs up!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CARDS HANDSIGNED BY ARTIST! True artistry! I will be proud to send these out to friends and business associates. Shipment was super fast and even the packaging was lovely! Very friendly seller. Overall - highly recommended! A+++++++++++++++++++

love this card!

Eagle


Brother-in-law's Christmas gift. Had forgot to take a photo of it so had my sister take one and just got it.

It was made out of mahogany and then finished with tung oil. It is one of our favorite items.

Featured Etsy Seller - February


Featured February Etsy seller: "robandlean"

Everything is made by the family members, husband, wife and children. Their wooden rings and necklaces are handcrafted with great care and attention to detail. Each piece is a unique piece of art and no two pieces are the same. They will do custom work, just allow enough time. All their jewelry arrives to you in a hand sewn gift bag, tied with a ribbon and also comes with a hang tag. Some of the woods they use are: African Coral, Pecan, Purpleheart, Bocote, Zebra Wood, Cocobolo, Walnut and I am sure they will find others to use too.

To date they have sold 47 items.
Here is what some of their buyers had to say:

Absolutely wonderful. I've wanted a wooden ring forever! This one is just perfect:)
Beautiful ring! Fits great and my husband loves it!
Beautiful work of art. This necklace is amazing!
Ring arrived in a very cute package and is of amazing quality.

Right now they are having a Valentine's Sale, buy anything in their store through February 14th and receive free domestic shipping. They also have a Sweetheart's Special, order any matching set of rings and get a 10% discount plus free shipping.
