the artisans and creatives are thriving
The retail industry will continue to stay resilient with the current economic crisis in various sectors in the US and many affecting countries. This may be the time where people stay conscious over new franchise opportunity or business ventures. But as far as the creative and artisan world is concerned, there is a rise in budding artists and designers added everyday.
It’s inspiring and refreshing to behold bold designs and unique creations by indie designers. The breath of newness always excites the trendy shopaholics and stylish fashionistas of all ages, just like this Cattails pendant created by Alisha Louise. Bold colors and allusion to vintage art and style plus her current romantic Art Deco and Nouveau patterns are signature to her works. Simple, elegant, artistic with a hint of individuality for every one who likes a little artistic flair in her jewelry wardrobe.
life changing story of an artisan
Whenever I read stories of young people getting into trouble with the law at a young age, I feel sad for them and their parents. I believe there are more patients found in drug rehab as social problems continue to be on the rise. Recently, I was encouraged to hear about a life changing story of a young man who soared in his creative career after going through a successful treatment journey. He’s now designing handmade messenger bags to be sold in flea markets and artisan stores. Shoppers love and admire his originality and creative use of paints, colours, fabric and odd materials especially those he picked up from the recycled stations. I do hope that he can launch his handmade bags online soon so that more shoppers can admire his artistic work and be inspired by his creative sense of style. It’s a shame that I can’t find any photo of his works but hopefully he explores the online technology soon.
One of his works resembles this handpainted Alexandra Cassaniti canvas bag except that you won’t be splurging $330 for his.
it’s all about being eco!
Oh well, everyone is talking about eco fashion, eco style, eco trends and even eco eyewear! I’ve only gone as far as buying an eco tote bag and a few eco friendly household items but haven’t got round to eco fashion. Most of these gorgeous eco clothing can be found online and living up that eco lifestyle is as easy as it can be.
wedings rings for men
Everyone of us has been told that rings are an important symbol of your love and union between two people. It symbolizes a bond that does not just last for days but for a lifetime. This is the reason why choosing the right wedding rings is then an important decision that you will have to make, and this applies to both men and women. Sometimes, we women like to make the decision on everything including choosing the ring for our groom to be. But why not let him take charge for once? After all, the ring he will be picking is the thing that he will be wearing for the rest of his life. Get him involved too!
If you are uncertain about where to begin, here’s a dedicated site on Men’s Wedding Rings and bands, featuring hard metals such as tungsten-carbide, titanium and stainless steel wedding bands. Like us women, men like styles and designs that suit their lifestyles and image. Sometimes, we may think that titanium is the best for our men but they may prefer tungsten-carbide ones as they are the hardest jewelry made by hand and they don’t scratch easily. Due to its tough and strong characteristics, they come with a lifetime guarantee which explains why it’s the preferred choice for the active guys out there.
handmade pouch from japan
Girls can get fussy when it comes to storing her beauty toiletries and makeup. We prefer to store these personal stuff in a nice toiletries pouch and not just any ordinary bag. Even so, we would also find a nice pouch or case to keep our digital wires and cables, not just any black padded ones you see in computer shops.
