BESTeam Feature

Well it is nice to be back and active on the BESTeam again, even if it is amongst changes.

In addition, since I have not written much on my Blogger lately, I will have to get back into the swing of things, as well as dealing with the problems I encounter on Blogger every time I post, but never mind all of that, I am happy just to be back!

This week, my BESTeam Feature is an easy one though, and I am very thankful for that. Offthewallexpressions is an easy shop to write about because their products are not only unique and very cool, but also are this shop owner’s, Mick and Tina. 

Offthewallexpressions offers Vinyl Wall Art, which is fitting for any wall you would like to express yourself, as well as Chalkboard Decals. Now how unique is that?  
Mike and Tina add that their "Vinyl Wall Art" can Amuse, Inspire, Decorate, Organize, Make a Statement and Express your Personality!"

With that being written, I thought how sweet would it be writing on these Chalkboard Speech Balloons? I have a bizillion ideas for these, but since I don't have enough room in this little square, I will settle for "perfect" for a Wedding Reception, a Birthday Party, an Office Get -Together. You get the point!
Where could you find putting these?

You certainly could use these for many places in your home or your office.  
And Offthewallexpressions has several different styles available in these Chalkboard Decals, I am sure you will find one, maybe two to suit your taste. Just click here, and it will bring you to that specific section of their shop!

My second choice of "Fabulous Finds" in this featured shop, is this item. 

 

PersonalizedFamily Tree Vinyl Decal

I think that this Decal would not only look good in your home, but would be an excellent "Gift" choice as well. And as you know Christmas may be a few months away but somehow it just creeps up on us! 
Think of newlyweds, grandparents, your own parents, and actually this would be a great choice as a gift for anyone! Think of the look on their faces as they open your gift. Now that look will be "priceless"!

My last product feature is for those who are Christian, and want to express that. I think this Vinyl Wall Decal is beautiful, and filled with love. And honestly, I just love the quote!

Gods Masterpiece Vinyl Wall Lettering Decal

I could easily imagine this Decal in my home, and I already have the perfect spot for it. Although I want EVERYTHING in this shop. This is at the top of my "Wish List" now!

I could feature so many more items, because there are so many to choose from. But, now its your turn! If your looking for gift ideas, home decor, and something as personable as you,  I cannot express to you enough to start your shopping with offthewallexpressions. 

Not only can I assure you that you will find a huge selection, something for everyone, home, and office, but their prices are very fair, thus keeping you within budget!

BESTeam Feature ~ ElizabethMD

My BESTeam Feature for this week is on a sweet lady named Elizabeth, Shop owner of ElizabethMD. Her shop is her creative outlet reflecting her eclectic personality and other interests.
This listing below is a splendid design in “Art Deco”, one style which reflects her various interests.

Blue Art Deco Teardrop Ring

Because I feel that I was able to get to know the owner of the Etsy Shop I was featuring, I decided late last week that I would do my feature with interview questions again!
As I post these questions and answers,  I will also be posting pictures, of my favorite pieces of jewelry Elizabeth has available for purchase in her Etsy Shop, ElizabethMD.
I started just with some common questions!

What's your favorite flower?
My absolute favorite flower is the Tiger Lilly. The symbolism of the tiger lily is like other lilies in that they symbolize the feminine principle reflecting the qualities of mercy, compassion, kindness and unconditional love. Lilies are associated with the planet Venus, the water element and the goddesses Venus, Juno, Mpethys and Kwan Y'in. However the Tiger Lily represents the more powerful aspects of femininity. :)
Can you share your philosophy on life?
My philosophy on life is quite simple. Fight for what you want work hard for what you think you deserve, and live life to it's fullest.

And then I moved on to her jewelry:

What do you think is the most outstanding quality of the items you sell?
I have such a wide range of jewelry in my shop that it makes it easy for anyone to come in and find something they like!
How did you feel the first time someone actually paid money for something you had made
I feel the same way now as I did that first time. It's excitement, shock, more excitement (a little happy dance), and then a scurry to package, personalize and ship the necklace/bracelet/earrings/ring to it's new home.

Cream and Blue Rose Ring

And then a few more I thought were good questions!

Photography is such an important part of selling online… I have to ask - how many photos, on the average, do you take of each listing before deciding on the 5 that you end up using.
Photography is the most crucial element of selling online. It goes right back to a picture is worth 1000 words. Shoppers can't touch what we are selling, therefore I literally take hundreds of pictures. I choose different backgrounds to test. I take pictures at every angle. Sometimes I download the pictures onto my computer, and go through them and they still aren't quite what I want, then I will go back and re-shoot. As you can see though through the evolution of my shop, you can definitely tell the difference in my photo's.
They say that clothes make the man - what accessory do you think makes the woman?
An amazing pair of earrings to elongate the neck. You can wear a rockin' pair of earrings and barely wear any other jewelry (well put some rings on of course :D).
