I spent a little time perusing their shops to come up with some great items for my list of needs.  Let's shop together!!

Let's stop first at the HandmadeBits4U shop for my absolute favorite purchase this year.  I'm picking these up for all of my family.  It is the greatest find and I use it so often.

Microwave Bowl PotHolder

 

 

Now let's go to ShantiAromatherapy for some good smells and aromas!!  Ahhhhh!!  So nice.  One of my friends has started to feel the wonderful side effects of menopause and is constantly having hot flashes.  So, guess what I'm picking up for her stocking??

Hot Flash!

RobinMariePedrero Arts is a mainstay in my shopping round.  Her artwork is so colorful and happy!  I think everyone needs a piece in their home.   With 10% off, how can you possibly go wrong??  She even makes cards, iphone skins, fine art bags, etc.  But this piece is calling me and I have the perfect recipient in mind.

Mariposa Butterfly in the Morning Light

JMJ Creations is a wonderful jewelry shop for the feminine woman in your life.  Everything she creates is so delicate and special.  I know, I know, I make jewelry, but come on--we all create different styles and I love to own hers.  So this holiday season will be a perfect time to get some of these special rings for my daughters, for myself, for my friends, for myself, for my cousins, for myself, oh you get the picture.

Amethyst Crystal Ring

Crazy for Collars has such special items for pets.  I personally own many of her collars, harnesses, and these adorable tags.  My little fur babies each have one on their collar with all the important info.   Now I think I will get some for gifts for my brother's dog, my mother's dog, hmmm, who else needs one??  Doesn't have to be for a dog does it?  How about a back pack tag for the kid's school pack?  They come in hearts as well.

Engraved Dog Tags

Honey From the Bee has some awesome nature inspired pieces in her shop.  I have selected this gorgeous piece because she actually made the pendant herself as well as the ribbon tips.  She is such an artist!

Gingko Leaf with Opal Silver Pendant

Vintage Day has a plethora of vintage items in her shop.  My daughter, Shilo, loves vintage and I know I will be able to find some great stocking stuffers in this shop.  I found this awesome piece that my imagination is tweaking into a great bridal piece, hmmmmm.

Pink Floral Barrett

Aquarian Bath is full of luscious finds.  You can just imagine the smells as you click through these pictures.  I love her flax seed pillows and plan to pick up a couple for gifts again this year.  They do come in different colors and they feel so wonderful, especially when heated.

Lavender Flax Neck Pillow

SerebaDesigns has some special and totally unique pieces in her shop.  She has a special knitted bracelet that is even being published in an upcoming book.  We anxiously await the book.  In the meantime, I found some super soft hand knit scarves for the cold winter ahead.

Lavender Pink Scarf

PreciousDesirables offers a variety of hand painted items, candles, glasses, and other fun items.  I have selected this gorgeous light switch plate cover as a gift for a friend in a new home.  I think it will add some lovely flowers to the room each time she turns on the light.

Rose Design Light Switch

ChicArtistique has some intricate pieces of jewelry in her shop.  What a fun to see how other artists create such special pieces with wire and crystals.  I absolutely love this necklace and I know it takes a true artist to make it so spectacular.  I can't wait to give this as a gift.  And she has reduced the price!!!

Tree of Life Pendant Necklace

EarthExpressions creates a variety of zen and nature inspired items.  She has handmade soaps and some awesome polymer clay pieces.  Here's a unique piece that is fashioned in the technique called Mokume Gane.  I am so intrigued that I must get one of these.

Chameleon Abstract Pendant

CapeCodJewelry fashions her pieces with visions from the sea.  It all has such a strong current to it that you can actually hear the sea gulls overhead as you shop in her boutique.  I am torn in many directions, but think this bracelet may be the perfect gift for the next person on my list.

Cape Cod Style Seashell Bracelet

Last, but not least, let's check out my shop, Momma Goddess, I have been experimenting with silk and colors.  Check out my silk scarves for the perfect gift for that hard to buy for woman.  I can make shawls or ponchos as well.

Great Barrier Reef

So, listen up everyone, tomorrow is Cyber Monday and you need to take advantage of these special women and their awesome sale just for the day!!! 

Remember, use coupon code UWIBTEAM10 in any of these shops to receive 10% off.  Go to this treasury:   Cyber Monday Holiday Deals 10% Off UWIB  to get started or to finish that holiday list.  The days are ticking away from you.  I believe there are just 27 days left.

Happy Holidays!!!

Relaxing in Orlando!

Both of my girls, Shilo and Tara, live in Orlando, Florida; which is so far away from Colorado and me. So, I am on my yearly trek to Florida to visit the girls.

I must admit that it was a refreshing change to land here when I left snow on the ground and my tree limbs in the yard!

So far, we have had lovely weather--even on the rainy day--we relaxed and read.  We ate at a few restaurants taking advantage of the outdoor areas the most.

 We took one day to visit one of my Unique Women in Business friends and her daughter, Danielle and Renee, at Renee's animal compound.  Now that girl LOVES cats!!  Here is just one of her darlings, Diva:

Just like everything, good things must come to an end . . . so I bid farewell to my sweet girls and their beloved pets to return home to conquer the cold, dry air in Colorado.  I have been busy catching up on orders and shipping treasures to some anxious brides.

Breast Cancer Awareness

As most of you know, I lost a dear friend, Sande Fuqua, to breast cancer so this cause is very important to me.  Kady's Pet Couture has made pink ribbon dog and cat collars to remind people about breast cancer awareness.  For each collar sold this month, we will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Awareness foundation.  Help us fight this dreaded disease!!

Pink Ribbon Dog Collar

 The dog collars come in a plethora of sizes: from the smallest Chihauhau to the biggest Saint Bernard.  If you don't see the size you need just let us know and we will make it to fit.  They come with or without the bow.  I still haven't perfected the bow tie for those fellas in the crowd.  Working on it though.

Pink Ribbon Cat Breakaway Collar

The newest addition to our line is the adorable little breakaway cat collars.  They come with or without the bow, but each one has a bell!!  We make them in two adjustable sizes--so we can fit the new kitty or tame that growing leopard you have in the house.

Stop by our Etsy shop: Kady's Pet Couture to help us lick this disease!!  Together we WILL make a difference!!

Pink adjustable buckles

Life in Greeley continues . . .

Spiders, Jack-O-Lanterns, Fall Colors, Skulls & Crossbones

This weekend was the Greeley Tribune Art & Craft show at Island Grove. Although the weather refused to cooperate, we still had a nice turnout. Certainly not fair weather shoppers since we had a dip in temperature and received a wonderful, albeit chilly, rain to quench any Autumn thirst the plants and trees may have.

Kady's Pet Couture was set up in full holiday spirit. We offered many choices for those Diva pets in your household. We continued on the college theme by adding the Nebraska Huskers, as well as some lovely UNC Bears items. So cute and very popular this time of year. We even had some Bronco collars, although our Broncos lost their game, a true fan will continue to wear the blue and orange.

Since October is National Breast Cancer awareness month we have a special Pink Ribbon fabric, which also has some lucky Lady bugs on it, with some pretty pink bows to which I also added a generous spattering of sparkles to create the special look we were after.  For each Pink Ribbon collar sold this month, we will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer research fund.

A Happy Customer!

 

This Spider didn't scare her!!

We had such a great time meeting the people and many had their adorable little fur babies with them!!  Sweet!

Next Saturday we plan to be at the Johnstown Quilt and Craft Festival.  Bring out your little doll to meet us and see what new items we will have for you.

 

 

Holiday Collars include Snowflakes, Candy Canes, & Santa

 

 

 

I Am HOME!!!

I am home from my journeys to Kansas and back, times two; once for the Art in the Park in Garden City, Kansas; and back again for the Whimmydiddle in Scott City, Kansas.  

The weather was absolutely beautiful for both weekends and the turnout was awesome.  I enjoyed seeing so many past customers and meeting many new ones.  

Art in the Park

The Garden City event was paired with the Downtown Fall Fest, so we had activities galore.  They had a car show, boxing matches, art every where; just to name a few.  I was lucky enough to be next to a graffiti artist who did a demonstration during the day.  

My side view

 He wrapped tons of cellophane around two large trees to create a canvas on which to work.  He then used his spray cans to create this work of art.  I believe it contains his signature, but wait until you see the other side!

Front Side

This was the other side of the cellophane canvas.  Awesome!  He is quite the artist and it was so mesmerizing to watch him work.  Too bad many of them have to work in the dead of night to create their art.

Garden City

I had a great day in Garden City, then rushed home to ship orders and create new items for the next weekend.

Whimmydiddle in Scott City

The Whimmydiddle usually has at least 10,000 people during the one day.  They travel from all over the surrounding states to attend this one day art and craft festival.  I must admit that it was such a lovely day and there were so many people that I am sure they reached that number or may have actually surpassed it this year.


I added some on my hand painted silk in the form of scarves, ponchos, sconchos, shawls, and some ruanas (large capes).  They were received quite well by the shoppers and my efforts were rewarded.


I also unveiled the newest line of handmade dog collars from the shop that Kathy Kaberline and I have opened:  Kady's Pet Couture.  We currently have dog collars and cute little cards, but will soon have leashes and cat collars, in addition to whatever else our little minds come up with--bird toys for sure.

Chi Chi with Hot Pink Leopard with Black Bow

Here is one of our first happy customers--he is posing so proud for his picture.  He knows he looks good.

Beyonce posing with K State Collar

Since we were in the great state of Kansas, we offered a few select K State collars and also included KU.  They were very popular with these folks.  They certainly do embrace the Beach Boys' song: "Be True to Your School."  

Beyonce in her Jaguar collar

Beyonce was a great model for the collars (of course, you can't see her grandpa standing there with a treat in hand).  You have to know that there will be plenty of animal print with me involved.


It was a lovely trip with great weather, energetic shoppers, talented artists, and special time spent with family.


If you are interested in some pet gifts stop by our new shop:

We are always trying to reinvent something fun for the fur babies.

 

Garden City Art in the Park

I have been selected to show at the Art in the Park event in Garden City, Kansas again this year.  I hope to see many of my past customers as well as meeting many new ones.  I have a few new items to unveil this next Saturday, so hopefully, it will be a success.  Here's a sneak peak at a couple items:

African Opals

 This one is similar to a necklace I posted in my shop, but it lasted a day and was gone, so I created another one in the same vein.  This pendant is gorgeous with an aquamarine stone that coordinates well with the African Opals.

Hot Pink & Black, Oh My!

Hot pink and black always look HOT HOT HOT together and I've created a few different pieces to set your little mouths drooling--don't miss out.

Gorgeous Silver Heart

Yes, there will be earrings to match, but hurry, I didn't make many.  I don't want you girls walking around looking alike--every piece is unique.

I will also have an entire selection of $5 earrings, first come first served.  They will be worth it, so do stop by.

There will be an abundance of rich Fall colors available as well as plenty of Bling for the holidays!

Let me know you saw this and I will give you a special gift.  See you Saturday!!

Bridesmaids for Fall

I just finished another order for a little bride planning to be married in Key West later this Fall.  She has selected some beautiful pieces that I would like to share with you.

She is having a persimmon strapless dress for each bridesmaid and selected these necklaces for them to wear.  Brown, tan, and ivory colored glass pearls all mixed with various crystals in tan and copper colors create a lovely blend of warm colors.  The earrings are always included for free with the purchase of a selection of bridesmaid jewelry.

I love her choices and wanted to share this with you.  She will send us a finished picture of the big day!  Personally, I believe I should actually head to Florida and visit Key West to ensure all jewelry is worn correctly, don't you???
