My BESTeam Feature

I have to apologize for being so late this week. I don't know where the time went. I do know that when I work, because it isn't very often, it really throws me off schedule. And it isn't just work this week either, for the past four weeks, I have been in terrible pain due to my knees. Besides walking, my knee pain has definitely affected other areas of my life, including difficulty in keeping focused.
Enough about me, that's certainly not the reason for this post.
My BESTeam Feature for this week is ardentreverie
Ardentreverie consists of two sisters who design unique handmade accessories in apparel, jewelry, and hair.
I have to say this shop is certainly CHIC!
Just as I was looking at this shop, my son, Marty, was looking over my shoulders, (I really dislike anyone doing that) and saying, "scroll up, see that? Thats POPULAR at my school, mom". This is the handmade product that he showed me.

Savannah Feather Earring

Then Marty said, "they wear these in their hair too, mom". I thought cool, thanks Marty for sharing. My son he is my worst critic, when HE likes something, its definitely something. Need a cool Christmas gift? Its right above! Perfect for your tween, teen, young adult.
If your looking for Hair Accessories, this shop has them too! This one below is my favorite, although ardentreverie has many more!

Cedar Roses Headband

I think this headband is just gorgeous! Perfect color combination, woodsy, earthy, and organic! Not much more you could ask for.
Most of you know that my employment is outdoors. Meaning that I am subjected to all outdoor elements, which I don't care for, but it pays well. I have learned to layer my clothing well. One of my favorite accessories are handmade beanies and scarfs. This shop has many scarfs to choose from. It was really hard for me to decide which one I liked best, but I went with this one!
Denim Blue Knit Cowl
Not only do I think the color is FAB, but I don't have to worry about it staying wrapped around. And if you walk all day, bend all day like I do, then you will appreciate this aspect as well!

So, if you are looking for cool, chic, and unique gift this year, or even something for yourself. I really think this would be an excellent place to make this shop your first stop!

My BESTeam feature for this week is.......................

My BESTeam Feature for this week is, drum roll please, Knitful Dezigns by Veronica Grace! (everyone stands up and claps their hands). This feature didn’t take me to look at her profile, or search for information. I think I know her, pretty well, from our nearly everyday conversations on FaceBook. And when I miss a day, I feel a bit lost. Veronica’s freshness and spunky personality always adds some sunshine to my day, even on the darkest days. Her personality reflects in her writing, as well as in the products she makes, like this one here below.



Polka dottie be my hottie bow
I met Veronica, during her Give-a-Way, many months ago. I actually won a Give-a-Way! Yep, winning one of these are very special because they are few and far between winning.
Her Give-a-Way Prize was none other, pick ANYTHING from my shop!
I was so happy because, being an outdoor employee I wanted a Beanie to keep my head warm while at work. And I really wanted something flattering, yet functional. So I chose this:
Bashful Beanie in Muddy delights brown
And honestly, not knowing her quality, and her very well, I was a bit unsure until it arrived!
Then after I opened the most sweet full, yes, new word, parcel, I was needless to say more then ecstatic. Now, even though my hair is not long, I was still able to tuck it in, and I had a glamorous, sophisticated look. My dear husband thought so as well! (as of right now, I have two of these Beanies,  and one on the way!)
That’s something I think some women strive for, even if its just to the grocery store, the sophisticated, glamorous look.
So, I wore it that weekend to go shopping, of course for beads, and out to my favorite Mexican Restaurant, Acapulco in Alameda, Ca.
If you want that look, this Bashful Beanie will sure help you create it!

Today, Miss Grace, Veronica showed me pictures of this:
Robins nest
I just thought, while smiling, how sweet, adorable, and cute, yes in that order.
I talked her into listing it, She said she was almost done with the listing anyways.
I told her I would use it in her feature, advertising, always a good thing! But, I would have chose it anyways, well because this sweet little birdie, Miss Grace, is expanding her wings, and doing something out of her extra - ordinary.
It’s a refreshing product, totally something for Spring and Summer. I also thought that it may be a very nice gift for Mothers Day, although its past. An egg for each child she bore, or an egg for each child in the house, and well maybe different colors too, the child’s favorite color, or yours. OR you could stick to the traditional pick and blue. I actually thinking I would purchase a "Robins Nest" soon!

There’s a million and one reasons out there to have this Robins Nest, what’s yours?
Share your thoughts, I am very interested to know what they are!

I ALWAYS end up smiling, or thinking, and even just knowing is good too.
