Craft Pudding not only has a darling shop name, but offers the cutest array of products. One of my favorites being her Custom stamp. A hand carved image of whom or what you please and you pick the font for the name. These are really so unique and a super deal. She also offers other handmade stamps and even sock monkey valentines!

of beautiful jewelry in her shop. I am so in love with this Peruvian Pink Opal Gemstone bracelet. What a beautiful piece to own! She uses a wide variety of gemstones, sterling silver and Swarovski crystals in her work. All of her jewelry comes packed in a pretty boxes ready for gift giving, even if only to yourself.

Sol is a 3" magnet that my fridge would be proud to display. There are eight different seeds used to create this piece and all natural colors, courtesy of mother nature herself!
