Trades

I love the tradeaholics! I just did some fab trades with a few of my friends from our group! I got some gifts but can't post the shops because I don't want these people to know!...

So I got this great necklace from Sparkle Garden












I got apple butter, pumpkin butter and mixed berry jam from First Fruit & Flynn Orchard









Got this great mug from alexmmr









Got these great pendants from artrageous clay












And this isn't everything I got, but I just didn't want to make this post a mile long! More to come later!

Being poor sucks!

So, being back in the US for a few months now, I finally had to buy a car. You need a car here... it's not like in Europe where you can take a tram/bus/walk to where ever you need to go. So Last week I finally bought one... a 2008 Scion tc. And I love it. But now I'm in debt to my parents (they were pretty awesome of loaning me a butt load of money!)

And then I decided, since I have a car, and am 23, I want my own apartment. I convinced my parents of this and then they actually thought it was a good idea lol. So yesterday I signed the lease to my first apartment (and by first, I mean, I'll be the only one living there.) So now I have visions of decorating, sewing up a storm and shopping my heart out at target and other places that have awesome home stuff. I wish Ikea was closer!

So because of this car and apartment (had to put a deposit on the apartment and borrow money from my parents), and my student loans, I am one of the poorest (but some how well off) people I know. Because of this.... I have been going trade crazy on Etsy. I will be shipping out all the stuff people traded me for today, and I can't wait to get all my stuff! Trading is such an awesome thing to do when you need retail therapy but don't have the money for it! When I get all my stuff in, I shall post pictures! Now stop reading this and go trade!

M. Augusta Woodland Designs

I always enjoyed browsing through MAugustaWoodland's Shop and admiring her wonderful silver filigree work. One fine day Meganne wrote to me about a trade. I was excited because I had always admired her work but could never afford anything, being a student and all, and of course I agreed. It was tough picking out exactly what I wanted but I picked the moonflower pendant and asked for a custom pair of stud earrings. Meganne was happy to make the earrings for me and I couldn't wait to get my stuff.

I finally got my long awaited package from Meganne and I opened it up and was in complete awe at the beauty of her work. Pictures do not do her work justice - everything was simple, yet complex and delicate. It makes a big statement without being over powering; this jewelry was exactly my style. I have bought a lot of jewelry off of Etsy and I have to say that this is the best yet. I hope to acquire more of her work in the future!

Communication with Meganne was great, her work is simply stunning and I highly recommend to anyone to get a piece of her work for yourself or as a gift. You will not be disappointed, I promise!
