Treasures from my hometown...

I stumbled across a great little Etsy shop this week, called Artistic Creations, and it's owned by a designer right in my own back yard! Andrea lives in Richmond, Virginia and she makes the most adorable designs out of PMC Silver Clay. The thing that caught my eye, other than the fact that her pieces are simply adorable, are her descriptions and the stories behind the designs. Two of my favorites are The Swan and the Beauty Within Necklace as well as her Queen Anne's Lace Trio.
In Andrea's shop you'll find other jewelry designs and more of her PMC work. Now, take a stroll across the street to another little shop on Etsy called Artwork by Andrea , and what you'll discover is that her second talent is painting!
Pair that with taking care of a spouse and two boys, you can easily see that Andrea is one busy lady! Please take the time to visit Andrea's shop, and bookmark some favorites for later when you start your holiday shopping. You can also keep up with her latest happenings on her blog, here.
