Thank goodness for the internet. I was talking with friends yesterday over tea about Etsy.com. Have you heard about it? I was shocked that they hadn't. I love Etsy. Have you been there? Check out Etsy.com (click here). There is also a link on the right hand side of this page. My sister makes jewelry and custom mommy/grandma bracelets. They are beautiful.
I have bought jewelry for myself and gifts for my family. And check out the area where you can buy items for pennies. Go to the jewelry section and click on "items priced lower to higher" It is called "Pay it forward." People are giving away their jewelry. Really!!! And in this economy, you can't beat the prices on Etsy. You can find items at every price point.
So, go pour yourself some coffee or tea and settle in for some shopping. You will make some artist's day, support a small business and make someone's holiday a little more unique. And shopping without hearing "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom." Priceless.
And to kick off your holiday shopping, visit my sister's Etsy website. Let me know with a comment which item is your favorite. Each comment will be entered for MY favorite bracelet (hint, hint Lara). And if you mention this contest on Facebook and let me know, you will get two entries. Good luck and happy shopping! And if you'd like to see Lara's work in person, she will be at the SECPTA Holiday Shopping Spree on Tuesday, November 24 at the Solon Community Center from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. There will be many, many tables set up with all types of vendors. They will also have a bake sale. Yummmm!!! It is a great night to cross some items off of your shopping list.

I love Laras work, it is gorgeous and well priced, and her service is top notch. My favorite is the chunky bracelet!
I will continue to shop on-line and now at Lara's website.
I love the new modern mommy bracelet and of course the little girl's name bracelet. I can't wait till I think of my little girls name so I can add a strand to my bracelet. Lara's work is awesome.

The pieces are all beautiful! I went to the Mommy/Grandma bracelets first and couldn't decide. I like them all! I think out of those though, I love the idea of the family bracelet withy the children's birthstones in them. I will be checking out more when I get the chance, that is for sure!! :)
The pieces are all so beautiful and unique! I went to the Mommy/Grandma bracelets first and couldn't decide! I think I do like, especially the idea of, the family birthstone bracelet. I think that is great and the one she had pictured with the three daughters different shades of blue did make a beautiful one! I will, for sure, be checking out some more when I get the chance!!! :)
Love the bracelet. wishing had extra money to buy self a gift from lara's etsy shop!!!
