Quite some time ago, my mother-in-law sent me a link to a site with all sorts of ear cuffs. When searching for the site again, I came across this gorgeous Etsy site with so many fun faerie and elven inspired pieces that I didn’t know where to stop. Check out Thyme2dream’s shop for pages of gift ideas for your more whimsical friends. Heck, I’ll admit it—I am trying to figure out an excuse to dress up and sport a sprightly tiara. Any ideas?

I tried my hand at weaving seed beads over Labor Day weekend and now I can’t help but be extra-amazed by these beautiful pieces by Amber and Nancy. It’s a lot of hard work, but isn’t the end result so worth it? They’re gorgeous.
I also love the mixture of metal and vivid colors in “Black Ice” created by our September’s Designer Highlight artist, Stephanie Gore. She has a lot of stunning pieces to show off.
To see these pieces and more right now, check out our September issue online!
