Discover me Wednesday

"You are my sunshine...My Only Sunshine...You make me happy...When skies are gray....You'll never know dear....How much I love you....Please don't take my sunshine away."

Singing has always been a great stress reliever for me and this song has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember.  My father plays guitar and this was probably one of the first songs he taught me to sing.

DDOTS

I have a card sitting here in my office from a dear friend of mine whose shop is on ETSY.  It is called DDOTS.  I keep meaning to send it to my sister, but just can't seem to part with it because it makes me happy just to look at it.  

I have decided to feature a bunch of artists this week in a Discover me Wednesday I am calling "You are my Sunshine"  Enjoy the art and please stop by and patronize their lovely shops some time.

Discover Me Wednesday

I am constantly on the lookout for new artists to feature on Discover Me Wednesday.  I love to wander around on ETSY and just put in key words and see what comes up.  Last week when I put in the keyword "Tree" I came across so many wonderful items, but one artist really caught my attention and I wandered around her shop for quite some time ooooo-ing and aaaaah-ing over every little thing.  

Underglass is the name of the shop I'd like to introduce you to.

These gorgeous creations are not made with glass, as the name of the shop would suggest.  All of the items you will find are handmade Resin and mixed media jewelry. 

In the artists profile she talks about the name "Underglass" and how it came about.  Her grandmother used to have a collection of glass domes in her home.  Under those domes she kept items that were special to her.

When this artist would give her grandmother a handmade gift she says that she would know that she got it right when her grandmother would say; "This is wonderful, this belongs under glass!"  You can visit Underglass's profile page to read the whole story in her own words. 

   

Please be sure to visit "Underglass" and wander around her shop like I did.  Enjoy the beauty there.  Purchase a lovely of your own to place under your own glass. 

Discover Me Wednesday

I love to wander around ETSY and could do so for hours just discovering new artists and new craft ideas. I have decided to make Wednesdays the day when I would like to share my discoveries with anyone who happens to be wandering the Meadow looking for these same things.

This weeks discovery is an ETSY shop called "Wooden Treasures" from Hickory, North Carolina.

The artists name is Jay and he is a retired gentleman who is originally from Upstate New York. He makes beautiful hair barrettes, cuff links, buttons, shawl pins/hair sticks and pendants made out of unique and exotic woods.


My favorite items in his shop though are the fairy items. These pretty little fairy doors, windows and houses are whimsical and playful. Be sure to check out Jays shop on ETSY.
