This week we have a wonderful lineup of Indie Junction Featured Artisans!  We have Maite from Tamsey's Trends, Aimee from Aimee's Rock Works, and Katie from Corner Studio!
Let's begin with Tamsey's Trends, your one-stop shop for uniquely handcrafted jewelry, accessories and décor.   In the artist's own words: "My name is Maite and I am a mom to two adorable young girls, a former technology consultant and a self-taught jewelry artist. I began making beaded jewelry and accessories several years ago and I have been hooked ever since. I really enjoy the process of designing and creating fun pieces that can fit any occasion. I work with a lot of different types of materials to craft jewelry and accessories for both men and women. I also make colorful and safe accessories for children. Each item you find in my store was created with loving care and quality materials in my home studio in Glen Allen, Virginia."

Next up is Aimee's Rock Works, a delightful shop featuring hand-crafted rock products from the Pacific Northwest using stones that are personally selected for their beauty and character.  In the artist's own words: "Growing up I always swore off rocks as dirty dusty things to trip over. Only fitting that I ended up with a degree in Geological Sciences.
So now I have an 'official' purpose to my collecting. Time to share the rocks I love with the world!"

In the artist's own words: "I'm an admin by day, crafter by night. I have tried tons of crafts over the years! I settled on scrapbooking 10+ years ago and haven't looked back. I also dabble in rubber stamping. And I like to throw fabrics into the mix! Photography is also a hobby that I enjoy. Etsy has a wonderful atmosphere and I look forward to continually adding new things my store!"

Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!

So I thought I'd pick a graduation theme this week and see what picks I can find for my Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy.  So it all starts with the card!

This handcrafted card from Katie Fenwick is a wonderful way to show your congratulations to a grad of any age.


Graduation is a big milestone at any age. Congratulate the graduate with this card, which can be customized to their school colors ('congrats' border will remain blk&wht). Just convo me! I can also add a money/gift card holder to the inside for $.50. Click here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/46767632

-handmade card is 5.5 x 4.25
-message inside - happy graduation!
-envelope included

Take a look at some other possibilities for graduation cards, cards for all occasions, and some really nice gifts!  You'll be glad you stopped by her corner studio!

This "Making Waves Surfer Graduation Card" by Simply Inviting Cards is perfect for any graduate on your list who doesn't mind making a few waves!
A card for the graduate who doesn't mind making a few waves, this card deviates toward a more progressive design aesthetic while retaining some of the retro-inspired elements that permeate my collection. 'To the Grad Who's' was derived from the memory of the old-fashioned DYMO labeling tape and dispenser lying around my grandparents' home. The mix of typographical elements in the 'Making Waves' sentiment incorporates some of my favorite vintage typefaces. To finish this card, I simply hand stamped Congratulations on the interior in black ink.

This listing is for a single 6 in. by 6 in. (15.25 cm x 15.25 cm) handmade card- in the color of your choice - with a bright white envelope. Worldwide shipping is complementary with this card.

This inspirational card called "The Future Belongs to You" was handcrafted by My Grandpa's Pen.


This 6.5x5 inch (16.5x12.7 cm) card was created for any grad! It features an oval chipboard with very classy grey and white printed paper and a ‘The future belongs to you!’ rub on. The chipboard was mounted on black graduation themed paper with a square grey accent. This card is blank inside and comes with a white envelope. 

I’m happy to offer inside card verse personalization at no extra charge. If you would like text printed on the inside of the card please add it to the ‘Message to Seller’ area. The text you provide will be printed on coordinating cardstock and attached to the inside of the card. This can be done for sets of cards as well.

Please note I charge actual shipping on all purchases - if actual shipping is more than a dollar less than the amount charged I will refund the difference through paypal.
