Giveaway from Kristi Harrison<\/p><\/div>\n

I got lucky again and won a giveaway on Kylie Parry’s blog. \u00a0 Have you ever seen anything like these? \u00a0The earth beads are really cool, and so is that sweet owl pendant (not to mention this great packaging!).<\/h4>\n

I’ve saved some of the best photos in this post for last… handmade buttons <\/em><\/span>made by participants in the Button Swap!<\/h4>\n

Mary Jane Dodd’s metal work \u00a0shows incredible craftsmanship with a beautiful, rustic style. \u00a0Here are \u00a0just a few of her brand new buttons. You can find Mary Jane’s blog here<\/a>, and her components shop here<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I’m happy to share the work of a lampwork artist that I’ve admired since I first started making \u00a0jewelry – Marianna Boylan. \u00a0She is known for her fun, sculptural beads such as those adorable Mickey Mouse pairs. \u00a0You can find Marianna’s blog here <\/a>and her shop here<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

* If you would like me to feature your handmade buttons in a future blog post, please send me an email!<\/h3>\n

– Enjoy your spring break!<\/h4>\n
