That Katky Nomura´s bracelet with owl is so cute!
Today I can not decide what I like best. It's all so great.
YAY! IT'S MY DAY!

Cool stuff!
I'm happy to be a part of this!
this virtual craft fair was a wonderful idea, I have gotten to see lots of artists art work that I wouldn't normaly have seen.....a great way to do holiday shopping!
Lovely, lovely eye candy once again! That polymer clay cupcake sure had me fooled. I was all "gosh, Lori's surpassed herself; her featured artisans are giving away yummy pastries!". Then reality sank in....and it's still great. That bead would make for some delicious jewellery.
Like Kelly said a few days ago, I've ran out of words to describe this awesome array of beauty and talent.
As always I'm so totally impressed with Claire's beads, they're like miniature art sculptures :-)
Lots of beautiful things x
have face booked xxx
It's fun to see some "Spring-like" colors popping up again, right next to Fall and Winter Holiday ones! I love turquoise and aqua year round, and I'm seeing a lot of it here! It's such a happy color.
It's interesting how we always seem to have one foot in the present season and the other planning 6 months ahead! Fun, beautiful items, again today!
My earrings are featured! I loved the leather bracelet, gorgeous and I've blogged and facebooked...smile, Virginie

Oh, now I am drooling. Being a poly clay artist myself, I am a sucker for those StillPoint beads and always a fan of Dorcas' awesome raku beads. But, all are gorgeous, each in their own way. Thanks so much Lori. You are awesome too:) I am checking my google analytics and stats show a lot of referrals from your website - two of which have translated into sales. Thanks for promoting handmade small business owners and the art community.
the cupcake look so real, amazing.
Beautiful! This is such a fun giveaway!
Totally drooling over Claire Maunsell's beads! I have stalked...er...followed her work for a long time! And I love Miss Tracy's bracelet. Very sweet!
