Today's fabulous giveaway is from Lara.
Her
shop offers classic quality jewelry with a sparkle.
1.What made you decide to open your shop & how did you decided on a name?
I was a single Mom & looking for work. I have always been artistic & started out with a shop that included my paintings. But I found myself making jewelry for my daughter, her friends, & teachers....mostly hemp knotted things. My art wasn't doing so well, so I visited a bead shop, & just made a handful of things & listed them. It just grew from there. I love things that sparkle & art that you can wear!
2. What is your favorite thing to make/what supplies do you love to use the most?
I love making things free form. My steam punk style rings are my favorite. There is no pattern, no rules. I look at some beads that inspire me & end up with a ring. I also love the vintage finds that my daughter & I dig up at local antique stores on Fridays. Those are so much fun! Oh & the glam. I love Marilyn Monroe & old Holly wood Glam. The bigger the ring, the better!! I try to focus, but have always been a little hyper & head in 20 directions.
3. What do you spend too much money on?
My kids. Hands down. They are spoiled rotten.
4. If you could only eat one thing, for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pho. Its a Vietnamese noodle soup. It is pronounced Fa. My friends & I always had Pho Fridays. My favorite Pho restaurant is in Seattle- its called "What the Pho" LOL It is yummy & served with a dish of things you can add, spices & herbs. Its different every time & always delicious.
5. What are you looking forward to doing in the Spring time?
I just moved here to South Carolina & just had a baby. I am looking forward to traveling & seeing all the historic areas. It is amazingly cool here. Also have a list of Etsy friends from the area that I have to make a road trip to see. My last was to my best friend Agasunset. She lives in NYC. That was a drive, but so amazing. I cant believe how close you can get to people that you meet in the business world. I am heading to Atlanta next....you know who you are :D

I really love the fantasy theme. It's really hard to find a good store with just enough of a fantasy feeling without being too geeky.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say, the Queen of Hearts Cocktail Ring is gorgeous. Almost to die for. I'm still sane.
I really love this:
