Handcrafted and donated by Crystal & Karen of Two Belles and a Bead.

This Little Poppy Pendant is composed of a hand cut and hammered solid copper disc cultivating a single sweet, white flower bloom. The copper is lightly oxidized for depth.



Handmade Bangle - Handcrafted and donated by Tasha of For You Designs.

Make new friends, but keep the old:
Those are silver, these are gold.

This bangle can be recreated in your size. Due to the random nature of the wrapping, each bangle will be unique and as individual as you. If you would like your very own bangle, please read the sizing tip below, and convo me with your measurements.



Handmade Fibula - Handcrafted and donated by Jewlie Beads.

This beautiful Fibula is a perfect addition to those thick cozy sweaters or to simply hold a scarf or shawl in place. This fibula is made of a tick 16-gauge copper wire and should only be used on thick knit, crocheted, and loosely woven sweaters and scarves. I made this piece using copper wire and chain, sterling silver beads, and a lampwork bead made by me.



Handmade Earrings - Handcrafted and donated by Diane of Luna Cat Jewels.

Packed full of Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Silver beads! Hand-Shaped on sterling silver wire to form a spiral Christmas Tree and topped with a Swarovski Crystal Star.



Handmade Cross Necklace - Handcrafted and donated by Danagonia.

Danagonia has been teaching fairies about human religions. Denmark is a Christian country, so they were very interested in what sort of magic was used. The fairies really don't understand that humans can't do magic, so she told them that some people believe that the symbol of the cross protects them. They asked Danagonia to make a cross so that they could see this strong protection symbol, hence how this necklace was made.
