Welcome!

This venture is going to be so much fun for all involved! Over the next couple of weeks we are going to be seeking out all those fun, hip and beautiful handmade accessories that we as girls are always in search of!

Hats - gotta love them! These are a fashion statement that women have cherished for many years. We will be showcasing some past and present styles and we have some great handmade hat artists to showcase. If you are a hat designer and would like to be featured send us an email!

Scarves - Think Jackie O, think 50's convertible cars, think cold blustery winter, or just think of something fun! Whether it's silk, lace, knitted, or synthetic, scarves are on the rise as a means of creating a fashion statement! We'd love to hear from all those handcrafted scarf makers.

Purses - what woman doesn't need one of these! We are going to showcase the handbag, the clutch, the tote. Purses with long stringy straps, big bulky straps and no straps at all. If you make handcrafted purses, let us know!

Belts - the little old belt years ago had one simple purpose, to keep those trousers from falling down. This simple little item has evolved in so many ways! We will introduce you to the trends and uses. We know this is a very small category of which there are homegrown varieties, but we are up for the challenge in finding all of you!

Jewelry - now every woman loves jewelry! There are so many styles to choose from. We have elegant with the high costly precious stones. We have trendy eclectic pieces that can have a range of prices. There are dressy costume and those everyday pieces that go from the office to the beach to the weekend. It's a good thing there are so many reasons to wear jewelry because there is so much of it out there to choose from! We expect this category to be our largest collection of featured artists. If you create handcrafted jewelry and want to be featured, let us know!

Our plan is simple, find artists from the above categories, feature them, and place them in our list of linked artists. The only thing we ask is that the items are handcrafted by the designer, no mass produced items will be featured here, we all know where Wal-Mart is, and this is not the place for that type of stuff!

At first, while we are gearing up, we will first be looking towards all those great Etsy artisians.

Stay tuned while we get this going!
