GREEN GREEN GREEN

GREEN is a Favorite Color this Time of Year!!!

Shopping around Etsy as usual and I'm loving all the GREEN. Of course, just in time for upcoming St. Patty's Day.

The luck of the irish be with you while wearing this beautiful bracelet. I love it. I saved it to my favorites. Lextrading @ http://www.lextrading.etsy.com/ has loads and loads of pretty bracelets in her shop. I particularly like the ones featuring hearts. Stop by her shop and browse around. You might find just the right gift for someone special.

As I continue to search thru GREEN items, I come across something very tasty looking. Lucky shamrock cookies! Sunshinebakes @ http://www.sunshinebakes.etsy.com/ is a relatively new seller on etsy so drop by her shop to show her some love. Lots of yummy cookies listed in her shop. Again, I like the hearts the best!

In olebaglady's shop at http://www.olebaglady.etsy.com/ I can really fully endorse these bags, as I have bough MANY!!! The quality is wonderful and the whole concept of fabric gift bags is awesome. These particular fabric bags are designed to hold a wine bottle, but she offers many different types of bags, so take a look in her shop. Tell her craftheart sent you!

Now, if you have time after all of this and want to take a peek into my shop http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/ then I will offer a great deal on my super REACH cloths. Great for exfoliating and the best way to suds up and reach the hard to reach spots on your back while in the shower. Lots of colors available. Buy one this week (thru the weekend), and get a FREE matching mini facecloth. Good for removing make up!

AH CHOCOLATE

Something about chocolate is just so good, its sinful! Every diet I have ever blown has been for chocolate. But what can I say, its creamy, its yummy, its sweet and its color is even warm and inviting to look at.







In honor of chocolate, I found a few yummies in some shops on etsy.com that I just knew I had to share here. First http://www.thesoapbuffet.etsy.com/ has some brownies that you can wash up with. Thats right, these delectibles are not really edible, as they are not real chocolate, but soap! Ever see anything like it? Prob not. So, I'd say you need some. Browse around her shop. She has all sorts of wonderful soap products.







Look no further than etsy if you're looking for some one of a kind OOAK chocolate items. http://www.sandyssundries.etsy.com/ has THE MOST adorable jellies. They are fun and cute but of course not edible. These little sea creatures would look darling sitting on a little girls frilly bed. Sandys shop has several different types of jellies, but we are interested today in the chocolate variety. he sure is a cutie!





http://www.earcrma.etsy.com/ tells me that she makes chocolate carmels upon request. They certainly do sound delectible! Pictured here is one of her listings of a variety pack. But if you LOVE LOVE chocolate like me, don't hesitate to message her and ask about a custom order.



If you want to do a little browsing in MY shop, you will find some chocolate goodies there as well. I just listed some of my mini chocolate washcloths. Great for removing make up and exfoliating your face. They are 100% cotton and super soft. These were a big hit for stocking stuffers last year, so I am hoping for the same again this year. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/

FREE this week!

Etsy special! From now till next Sat - purchase any washcloth/dishcloth or set from my shop and get a free mini heart soap! As an added bonus, if you buy one of my special REACH cloths (available in lots of colors and great for scrubbing your back), you will get a FREE mini heart soap and a FREE mini washcloth/facecloth!
