New Items in HAF Shop

I have had a very productive few days recently and I am proud to say that I actually got 10 new items put into my shop at Handmade Artists. So without dragging this out...let me just show you what went in the shop today.

Purple and Red Shamballa Bracelet

Shamballa Bracelets are a popular and stunning pieces of handcrafted jewelry. They are created using a sequence of knots and braids that incorporate gemstones, wood, metal, etc that have spiritual and healing meanings.

The colors of the cord and beads used are associated with the 7 main Chakras or energy wheels which draw energy from around us.

This particular bracelet incorporates the colors of Purple and Red.

The RED bead is linked to the emotion of passion and sexuality; The feeling of security, grounding, stability and support.

The PURPLE of the cord used is associated with bliss and spirituality. It is said to promote all knowingness, inspirations, wisdom, and an awareness of your higher self.

This beautiful bracelet will fit a 7 to 7 1/2 inch wrist.

Do not pass this bracelet by because it is the wrong size...I will do custom orders in the colors that you prefer as supplies are available. Just contact me and we will work something out.

Coral Glass HOPE Bracelet

This bracelet is made with a selection of  beautiful coral colored glass beads in different shapes and sizes.

Now that is all of the jewelry that I added today. I actually added a new category to my shop today as well. I have been making soap and bath soaks for quite some time but have never added any of the bath products to my shop....until today. Check these out.

Rosemary Mint Soap

Exotic Sandalwood Soap

Tropical Bliss Soap

Pure Castille Soap Unscented

Shea Butter Shampoo Soap

Now I know that I mentioned bath soaks but I didn't get any made...so it will be later that I add those. However....I did get some crocheting done, too. My sweet grandbabies wanted hats...so like any good grandmother...they got hats...but since I made up a pattern for their hats...I decided why not offer these hats in my shop. So here are two of them that I have crocheted up so far.


Child's Crochet Hat

Camo Summer Hat

OK...that is all that added to my shop at Handmade Artists....be sure to go check all these new additions out. If you see something you like...but it isn't the right size or color....let me know. I welcome custom orders.

Remember....It's Better Handmade!!! Because there is a whole lot of love that goes into every handmade item!
