People You Should Know

It's time for this month's sponsor spotlight. Why you ask? Because these people are so generous and talented, I think it's important to introduce you.

Just so you know, there are mere hours left to enter this month's giveaway, which is again, quite ridiculous.  This months sponsors are all part of the $175 in handmade awesomeness that is going to go to one lucky person. One. If you haven't entered, you won't have a chance. If you do, so excited you act like Tom Cruise on Oprah's couch. Except your excitement might last longer than his. Just sayin'.

I can't tell you how thankful I am for the support of these wonderful people. I hope you take a moment to check out their shops. They rock. Of course, you can also check out their other links and connect with them in different ways. It's worth it. There are great people to know. Just look at what they're giving away for pete's sake!

Hybrid Handmade

Cari-Jane is always finding inspiration around her, especially from nature and incorporates that into her designs.  She is a trained architect, but works away in her Hybrid Handmade atelier as a metal-smith making jewelry.  Her architectural influences can often be seen in her works, as well as her love of nature which most often inspires her. She works in series, exploring different themes and is currently creating new works in her Into The Wild range. Hybrid Handmade jewelry is a lesson in details, often unseen except by those who wear it. Her aim is to create pieces which have a power to transform an ordinary outfit into something extraordinary.

The other two sponsors are me and the Gman. You'll find our stuff in Bates Mercantile Co. and more on Gar's studio here.

I'd love it if you got to know these shops a little better. I don't think you'l be disappointed.

(if you're receiving by email, I apologize if there are no pictures. Blogger is playing games. I'm off to try to outsmart it!).

Have a great day,

Pam

ps- don't even ask about the formating! It's doing it's own thing there too. Argh!
