Spotlight On: JemsByJBandCompany

Judy and Bill of Jems by JB and Company have a fine eye for detail. I love the mix of gemstones and silver in their wonderful bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

The use of color in this Etsy shop is so refreshing! Isn't this bracelet just yummy for summer?

Looking through JemsbyJBandCompany is like walking through a candy shop and you just can't help but want to sample everything!

I encourage you to check out this shop full of wonders.

Fair Diddley 2010: Part 2

Fair Diddley 2010 was a success! The rain held off for the whole day and the weather turned out to be beautiful. There was another great crowd. My tent had a steady flow of traffic for most of the day. I got to meet one of my JET team members from Etsy, Tammy of ArtMadeByTammy. I even had people stop by that remembered LittleBrownBird from last year. Not a bad turn out at all. Here are a few pictures from the day.

The crowd at Fair Diddley 2010

The weather was sunny and hot, just a bit windy at times.

Thanks to all that came out to support me! I hope you all love your new jewelry and hair accessories! If you missed the fair, you can always stop by my shop, LittleBrownBird on Etsy and purchase from there.

Fair Diddley 2010

It's that time of year again, Fair Diddley is here! Located on the Square in Woodstock, IL , this is the 42nd year for this annual event. The fair will take place on Sunday, May 16, 2010 from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Little Brown Bird will be participating again this year. I will be located just off the square on Main Street. I'd love if you would stop by! I have lots of new items in addition to those seen in my Esty shop.

It's always a great crowd with hundreds of crafters selling thousands of handmade items. Hope to see you there!

Spotlight On: SendingLoveGallery

If you need to send something very special, SendingLoveGallery has it. Upon stepping into this shop on Etsy, I was captivated by all the gemstones. And, of course, I'm a sucker for glass beads. These Coral Peach Vintage Glass earrings and matching necklace would fit perfect into my personal collection.

There is a stunning variety of color and yummy gemstones to choose from. I love, love, LOVE SendingLoveGallery!

Spotlight On: AdroitJewelers

Beauty and brains. That's what I think of when I visit AdroitJewelers on Etsy. This shop is full of stunning silver and glass beaded jewelry. The wire-wrapped pieces in sterling silver with seaglass are fantastic! But the brains behind this beauty's shop are these non-pierced earrings!

What a fabulous idea for those who don't have pierced ears! They fit right over the curve of your ear and hang just like a sexy pair of hoops. Now that's thinking outside the box!

And these swirly dangles of silver goodness named the Black Dot earrings are my favs! I actually own a pair of these that I received in a lucky jewelry swap and I wear them all the time. They go with absolutely everything.

Please visit AdroitJewelers and find your favorites!
