My Favorite Things -Jillicious Charms

I hope to make this a weekly experience where I post some of my favorite things. Jillicious Charms is listed under the tab of My Favorite Things on this blog and I hope to add it to my website. I happened to see an add for this jewelry on my Facebook Page and immediately fell in love with the design and fun of these creations.

Jillicious Charms has been in business since October 2011. The name is inspired by the artist’s daughters. She fell in love with polymer clay crafting and it became her passion allowing her to be a stay at home mom. You can read more about the business and this talented designer at her website http://www.jilliciouscharms.com/

Because I am in love with coffee, this is what I ordered from her site and I hope to own more of her jewelry in the future.

Color Me Crazy!

imageI am addicted. I am addicted to coloring. My addiction began when I joined my Red Hat group for a coloring evening at a library.

I was hoping for a coloring book for Christmas but our Christmas was late and I couldn’t wait. Shopping in downtown Northfield I met the most amazing artist. Her name is Shona Brooks and she is part owner of the Eclectic Goat.  I love the store but what I didn’t know when I was drooling over the coloring designs was that Shona designed and drew the coloring pages.

I was in awe and of course I had to buy some pages.  Shona is a self taught artist and has her coloring books for sale on Mindware.com along with Etsy and other venues.

I have never been a color in the lines type of person but I try. I bought the poster size and I am currently turning them into placemats for my table for the spring.

Make sure you visit Shona and the store. They have lots of great gifts and crafts. And don’t forget to add her artwork to your coloring list. The Eclectic Goat
