let's talk talent...

I love this part of the week because it's time to talk talented folks! Can't think of a better way to shout "TGIF" than to learn about new and inspiring artisans.

This week I was thrilled to host three fantastically talented ladies and I sincerely hope that you visit their shops, websites, and blogs as they all have something beautifully unique to offer.

LeAnn, from Summers Studio, creates earthy, organic ceramic and bronze art beads, pendants, and jewelry. I'm in love with the little ceramic owl beads as well as the sweet seasonal mitten and ornament beads.

Sharon, from Livewire Jewelry, creates beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings using copper, handmade beads and earthy stones. I'm drooling over the Jezabel earrings at the moment.

Shel, from MiShel Designs, works wonders using ribbon, pearls, sterling silver to create her lovely, classic pieces. Be sure to visit Shel's shop and blog. Right now she's organizing a Holiday Shop Hop that you will not want to miss!

Interested in having your shop, website, or blog featured? I'm interested in promoting YOU and giving you a space. That space is to your immediate right. See the three, large, featured artist ads? That's it! And the best part is that it's free. Yep, free - otherwise known as spreading the love.

The details...

Visit this weeks artisans then come back and let everyone know what you loved. Comments are open through Saturday night, November 5th and on Sunday morning, we'll draw for four spaces to go in the "Featured Artists" spot in the right sidebar.

If you're chosen, your advertisement will be added ASAP and it will run through next Saturday night. Next Friday we'll do the same thing all over again. No catch, no charge, no nothing except advertising space for your shop, website, or blog.

For the full details (size requirements, etc), head over to this page. But be sure to come right back here and comment to toss your name in the hat.

Good luck!!!
