*Pick Five*

 
*Here's what "Pick Five" is all about*
A while back, I thought I would start something fun on here. I got to thinking that I would really like to share with all of you, the really lovely Etsy shops that I run across. I am always falling in love with shops on Etsy (I mean, how could you not with all of the wonderful artisans out there?) and as artists, we need all of the support we can get! So I'm thinking that once a week (well, that is the goal at least), I will share with you the five Etsy shops that have caught my eye recently. Here are this weeks five picks!


* LoveLingZ - Offers the most amazing & creative little woodland creatures


* Sylvia Starlight - Offers adorable hand painted peg people

 
Two Sad Donkeys - Offers mind blowing felt creations


* Le Animale - Offers the cutest hand sculpted animals


* Splendid Sweet Shoppe - Offers the most delicious looking macarons



If you have the chance, please check out all of these lovely shops!

Show and Tell

 
Have you ever wondered what my work space looks like? Well, here it is. My tiny-messy-craft area.
After moving recently this is currently how my area looks. Does it need to be cleaned? Yes. Should I organize it? Of course. Do I wish my area was an entire room just for me? Do I even have to answer that? In all seriousness, I am quite happy with my little space. Great things come from this space! (yes,  I'm bragging....just a little bit) Things that make me very happy and happy to share with all of you! Thank you for your continued support of my *very* small business. For those interested, I'm now on Twitter - Come follow me! Also, I'm going to try to get some more wonderful Etsy businesses to join my blog soon so keep an eye out!  
 
God Bless

Peace, Love & Breastfeeding!

 New in the shop is this adorable little gnome displaying the International Breastfeeding Symbol.



Cute for kids? Sure. But I think we all know this one is for the Mamas!

~GIVEAWAY~

 I think it's about time for another giveaway don't you?? I've been experimenting here at The Indigo Forest and I'm really happy about the new things I've been creating lately. The Luna Sleep Balm included in the set is my newest creation. It's a lovely, delicately lavender scented balm perfect for children (recommended 6 months and older) and adults alike! I first heat infused healing calendula into olive oil and then blended in some beeswax, lavender essential oil and vitamin E creating an extra creamy balm that is easily absorbed into the skin. Great to use just out of the bath or shower right before bed. Now, like I said, this is something new I've been experimenting with and this is currently the only one I  have left (I hope to have more for the shop in the future). Also along in the set is one of my little gnomes! Crafted of wood and wool blend felt and then painted with AP certified non toxic pain and sealed with my homemade beeswax polish. Children love these little gnomes so much! I always enjoy my customers coming back and telling me how much their children enjoy playing with these little guys (or gals).

So, if you are interested in winning this set (and I hope you are!) Just head on over to my Facebook Page and click on the tab that says "Giveaway" in the upper right hand corner and enter that way using the Rafflecopter form  (After some problems with the comments section of my blog, I've decided to use Rafflecopter. This is my first time using this widget for a giveaway, so hang in there with me folks! So sorry for the switch up.)

Winners will be selected randomly and I will announce the winner of the giveaway next Monday, February 18th (My Birthday!!) 


Good luck to you all!
