Wild and Free Embroidery Hoop
by Kristen Van Drie at Kayma Boutique
Value $28
Kristen is a stay at home mom of two lovely kids, Kaylee and Mark living and working in Lansing, MI. Her children inspire her daily in all aspects of life, which is why she says it was a no brainer to name her business after the two, "brangelina" style, thus Kayma Boutique was born! Kristen has a passion to create that spills into all aspects of life. As a child, she was that sister who constantly made her younger sister make friendship bracelets, color and participate in all sorts of crafting with her. Kristen got her start selling on Etsy when her crocheting hobby started to get out of control (literally). Being able to share her work was wonderful and having people interested in buying her work put her on cloud nine so her entrepreneurial brain decided to go for it! Visit her Etsy shop for more handcrafted items including embroidery hoops, hand crocheted rugs, scarves and more! There is so much love and passion in every unique handmade item which guarantees top notch customer satisfaction.
This Wild and Free Embroidery Hoop features a hand embroidered floral arrangement with the quote “Wild and Free” on a linen background. The piece measures about 8” and is hand drawn and embroidered for a unique look. No two hoops will be exactly alike. This design would look great in a bedroom, living room, office space or anywhere the free at heart roam.

Horse Locket
by Ginny Saltzer at Ginny’s Boutique
Value $19.75
Ginny tells us she grew up sewing, drawing, remaking her aunt's old prom gowns into some wonderful new creation to play "dress-up" with her sisters. Her creativity was born out of necessity, being the oldest of 7 children in a household on a VERY tight budget. She turned this creativity to jewelry making about 7 years ago and fell in love with making whimsical, theme jewelry. Three years ago she closed her salon that she had run for 25 years and started creating more of the things she loves. For Ginny, there is nothing like the thrill of getting an inspiration for a piece of jewelry and opening box after box of beads and supplies to find just the right combination that ends up making a spectacular piece. She now is able to bring you that thrill via her Etsy shop, Ginny’s Boutique.
This vintage style horse locket necklace is made with an antique bronze pocket watch case and an image of a woman with her horse. This equestrian jewelry is perfect for any horse lover. The front of the locket has an open face design framed by a ring of floral design. Just depress the top stem to fully expose the vintage look image. The locket measures 2” and is hung on a 32” chain and placed in a gift box so you can give it to someone you love or treasure it for yourself! Visit Ginny’s Boutique for more equestrian inspired jewelry and other pieces like her music jewelry made from recycled sheets of music!

Fruit Apron
by Sam at The Sapphire Key
Value $37.50
The Sapphire Key is owned by two best friends, Sammy and Cathy. The "business" started out of Sammy's house when she started making aprons that Cathy felt were showroom quality. Cathy convinced Sammy that they were better than mass-produced aprons in stores and that she needed to sell them to the world... therefore The Sapphire Key was born. The pair went from just aprons, to including eye pillows, dream pillows, jewelry satchels, owls, wine bags, and diaper pouches. Sam does most of the creating and sewing from her Savannah home. Cathy sews the owls with the assistance of her daughter, Hannah, and handles most of the business aspect of the shop. Please message them to let them know if you would like something created especially for you.
This adult sized apron is fashioned in a mustard colored linen and trimmed with retro pears and apple print and turquoise rick rack. The apron is adjustable by ties at the waist and the strap around the neck has a button closure that allows for three different lengths. There is also a strap on the right side next to the pocket to hold your towel so you do not have to tuck it into your waist-band! Your apron will be slightly different than the one pictured as the red apple trim at the bottom in the picture is also around the pocket (as opposed to the top of the bib area), and the apple print on the bib area is not red, but the same as the trim at the waist. You can look great while in the kitchen or just look like you use your kitchen! Visit The Sapphire Key for more wonderful handmade aprons and be sure to check out the shop’s About Page for more on this shop.

Western Hat
by Susan and Ron Rodgers at Golden Dream Finds
Value $38
Susan started out just making hats for fun because she herself loved to wear them. One day her daughter saw how many she had made and said, “Mom what are you going to do with all those hats?” Susan replied, “Give them away.” Her daughter suggested she sell them on Etsy! Susan had no idea 19 months later she would be creating hats to keep her busy, while her husband Ron runs the business end from their home in Fresno, CA. Ron said he loves watching his wife being creative and it's such a good outlet, that he started two more shops on Etsy, "The Apicella Edge" and “Lucky Steampunk” to sell all the different items she kept making. He has now learned to make many items in those shops and enjoys it as much as his wife now. They enjoy all the time they get to spend with each other too!

Horseshoe Boot Charm
by Melody Bain at HowlingWolvesJewelry
Value $36.95
Melody’s love for crafting started at a young age. She says her father could draw anything, paint anything, craft anything...and taught her how to draw cartoons, oil painting and wood work when she was in her teens. Her crafting took her to cross stitch needlepoint and then to jewelry designing about 12 years ago. She started making the boot anklet bling for her niece's wedding last year, which was a cowgirl themed wedding. It was so much fun and the demand for them started! Melody and her husband live in a very rural area about 45 minutes from Mammoth Lakes, CA, in the Eastern Sierras which they love. They have 2 horses, 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds...just like a little zoo! The beautiful outdoors and her animals serve as an inspiration for many of the pieces of jewelry you see in Melody’s shop.
This rhinestone boot anklet/charm can also be worn as a choker and features Swarovski Crystal Drops and Magnesite Turquoise beads. It also has horseshoe with horsehead, wagon wheel and rowel charms, on an antiqued silver plated chain. Total length is 16 ½ inches but it is totally adjustable. Looks great on any style of boot and if you’d like Melody can make a matching pair. Convo Melody about a custom design and she will design anything you need!
