As part of my blog, Thursdays are for a SURPRISE "Shout Out" to another ETSY store for product information and a review, by me. These stores are ones that I have personally done business with and have been impressed with both their product and service. Today, lets chat about:
Chocolate Dog Studio, a unique ETSY shop featuring handmade cup cozies, paper goods, cards, jewelry, pin cushions and more! The owner writes "The cozies are handmade, useful and eco-friendly. I hand make all of the gift tags, cards, and journals. Almost all of the flowers are made from upcycled or recycled paper, junk mail, magazines, packaging from gifts, old gift bags etc. All jewelry items are made or found by my daughter! They are all listed under K's Jewelry." This is a shop you can feel good about as the owner creatively tries to help to keep our Earth a little greener while providing you with items of beauty! I placed a custom order recently for some cute scalloped scrapbook embellishments. The order was quickly filled, shipped, and the tags adorable!
The shop owner, Karen, not only has a great store but an awesome blog that gives you more insight into her work and who she is. And in my opinion, you can't go wrong doing business with someone who names her business after a beloved companion, and a chocolate one to top it off! Take a peek at my own chocolate dog and faithful companion who's picture can be found at the bottom of this blog.

Angelas Paper Art, an ETSY shop specializing in paper beads, cards, paper quilling and keepsake boxes. The owner and creator of this wonderful and creative shop is none other then....Angela, a native of Chicago with an interior design background and a talent for creating beautiful handmade paper based items. I recently purchased the gorgeous beads pictured here at the right and they are beautiful! I'm excited to utilize them in my jewelry designs and am sure you will find something in my store with these soon. The beads came in a hand constructed envelope made from magazine pages which I thought was awesome. I appreciate the repurposing and upcycling of items that goes into Angela's work and packaging as it is so important to try to be environmentally friendly today. I was so impressed with my first purchase that I decided to go back for more....I am waiting for these pretty purple quilled flowers and sand colored beads to show up in my mailbox as I write this.
