BESTeam weekly feature: SandT Creations on Etsy

This week I'm delighted to feature SandT Creations, run by Teri Baskett from Jefferson, IN.  Teri is in senior IT management during the day and designs jewelry and runs wine tasting in her spare time.  Her Etsy shop features gemstone and crystal jewelry, wire wrapping and vintaj supplies, so there's something here for crafters and jewelry magpies too!

I've chosen to feature this sterling chain maille bracelet as I love the skill involved in maille work and it's always stunning in its simplicity when done in plain white metal.


These sterling silver earrings would be great with the bracelet, I think, and they have a lovely handmade, wasi-sabi feel to them.

SandTCreations is also a member of Etsy eSmarts team, a group of store keepers who regularly donate items to support other Etsians in financial need.  You can check out the shop here and check back regularly to support this worthy cause.

Here's some color for a contrast - in fact every color under the sun is reflected in this Summer Capiz Rainbow necklace, with each dangle individually hand-knotted.  Wouldn't this be great with one of this seasons patterned maxi-dresses?

This compass ring is a really unusual item.  It is a functional compass, so you'll always know what direction you're going in when you're wearing it!

Fellow crafters should definitely check out the supplies section, where there are a great range of vintaj brass findings and charms.  Be careful when you're there, because there is a serious temptation to purchase all of the supplies ;-)

Lots of Goodies to Show Off!

I told my friends on plurk last night that I'd gotten goodies in the mail, and I promised to show them off! Don't worry, I would have shown them off anyway :P

First up are these goodies I got in a trade with Creative Supplies. I have several ideas for these, but I'm WAY behind on my product photography so it might be awhile before you see it even if I make it today :P

I got two packages in the mail yesterday. The one with the beady goodies was expected, the other one was a surprise! Since I'm staying with my parents while the paint airs out at my apartment, my hubby brought it over in his backpack. First he dolled out the regular mail, one piece at a time. Then he asked me what was in the packages. Since I didn't know what was in the second package he had to taunt me! First he gave me the supplies... then he threatened to open my surprise...and finally I got to unwrap my lovely present!

I had signed up for a "Craft It Forward" awhile ago, and this was my beautiful present! It's from my friend Sharla. She said it's for keeping track of all my jewelry ideas. So I took her at her word and titled the notebook appropriately.

Then I made a sketch of the idea that was running through my head the night before! I'm hoping to make a broach. Don't worry - when I actually outline it I'll be much more precise and pretty looking than my quick free hand sketch :P I'm not much at drawing...

Last of all...I wanted to show off my custom order I've been working on! I really enjoyed working on it - and she said she really likes it! It went out in the mail today :) It's two matching bracelets, a matching necklce, and two arm ties that she is going to use to tie her shawl to her upper arms.
