Tuesday's Finds-Oh Deer!

Just for the fun of themes, today im featuring Deer themed items that I have found on etsy.

ShoopTiles32 Deer Coaster Set of 4.

Im a big fan of coasters, this shop has tons of amazing tile coasters. They are made from vinyl then placed onto the tiles and sealed with 3 layers of sealant. They also have cork 'feet' so nothing scratches your coffee table. This shop is really amazing. Only 10 items sold so far, but i can see a promising future. I better not see any rings on those coffee tables!

bluetricycle Printable, Giftable-Fawns Stationery and Mini Cards

What an amazing idea. bluetricycle offers many downloadable and printable graphics that you can use over and over again. When your order is recieved the shop owner just emails the graphics to you and you can print them in the size of your choosing on your own cardstock. I can see these being great for thank you notes and just about anything. Formatted to print in different sizes and even comes with templates for creating envelopes. Very economical and since they are .pdf files you don't have any shipping costs at all. Im eyeing a couple of bluetricycle's items for my own use.

sewluckygirl-Peppermint Pink-Sweet Little Baby Deer-Throw Pillow

Gorgeous 10" deer pillow made from handmade appliques, upcycled vintage fabrics and other materials. I could never resist puffball fringe a day of my life. This shop has just a ton of interesting originally designed pillows.

Have any ideas for my tuesday finds? email me JuliaCatherineJewelry@gmail.com . Be sure to check out my tuesday finds on the Awesome Chicks of Etsy blog today- Theme "chicks"

Don't forget there is only a couple days left to submit your names for my january giveaway.

There Baaack! Acorn Earrings 08 Edition!

Just as promised the fall Acorn Earrings are back! This years edition is a bit larger and different from last years. They feature a 12mm faceted smoky glass bead that is capped with an antiqued brass acorn top cap. For a finishing touch i added a vintage swarovski bead in a golden citrine color. The earwires and headpins are sterling silver and are of course handmade by me. The headpins and earwires have also been oxidized to bring together the two metals. These earrings are $18 and are only available at JuliaCatherine.etsy.com for a limited time! Perfect with my favorite fall basic- brown! Brown is my new black.
