CandiWare


CandiWare’s tagline is “jewelry that smells good enough to eat.” Remember scratch & sniff stickers from your childhood? I don’t know about you, but I was nearly addicted to those things as a kid. CandiWare’s jewelry brings back that nostalgic feeling (and scent) with the most adorable food-themed jewelry. These hand-crafted treats not only smell good enough to eat, they look good enough to eat, too!

I was lucky enough to receive a donut ring and a pair of Berry CheeseCake Earrings and I swear it’s all I can do to keep from nibbling on these adorable adornments!!! Spend a few minutes browsing all of CandiWare’s offerings & you will no doubt have a hard time narrowing down your wish list. But I must draw your attention to the super unique tea set double finger ring. Talk about a lovely and unique gift for the tea lover in your life.

If you’re looking for a unique (and yummy smelling) treat for yourself or a pal, this is an excellent source!!!! There’s even sweet treats available for the fellas. (pictured: CandiWare creator, Candice Ware, and her too-cute-for-words pooch!)

GIVEAWAY: Heart Wide Open

I am very excited to announce that Heart Wide Open: Trading Mundane Faith for an Exuberant Life with Jesus by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson has been released today! Shellie is the Jesus loving author, speaker, and radio host known as The Belle of All Things Southern. Based in Lake Providence, Louisiana, Shellie hosts a daily radio show that is broadcast on twenty-eight radio stations & a weekly video segment that streams live. She has also written several books, including Sue Ellen’s Girl Ain’t Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy, which has been endorsed by Jeff Foxworthy who called it "laugh out loud funny!"

Heart Wide Open chronicles Shellie's quest for something more than routine faith in God. With a yearning to love God with a genuine, all-consuming passion, Shellie details how she got honest with God & asked Him to help her love Him as deeply as she wanted to. On the book jacket, it says that in Heart Wide Open, Shellie invites you to answer the call of your restless heart & refuse to settle for anything less than the intimate friendship of God.

Through her heartfelt & honest words, you'll find practical inspiration to help you:
• exchange your "just enough Jesus" mindset for an all-out pursuit of Him
• put sizzle in your Bible study by asking God to show you the wonder of His Word
• trade formulaic devotions for a devoted life

This book spoke to me on many levels. I have worked hard, and often times struggled, to have a deeper connection to God. I want to be a "good" Christian, but we all know that can be difficult with so many distractions. I find it easy to spend an hour every morning catching up on Facebook, but have to force myself to make time for a five or ten minute devotional reading. In turn, that makes me feel guilty. But we have to take the first step that Shellie took & that's to ask God to help us love Him as we should & as we want to. He is always there to answer our call & guide us in our quest to open ourselves up to Him.

Shellie points out that scripture assures us that God loves us not because of who WE are, but because of who HE is. We don't have to wait for the afterlife to begin living with God. By pursuing & enjoying a fulfilling relationship now, we greatly enhance our life her on Earth. I love that Shellie is completely honest in how she struggled for years to love God fully. I also liked that she compliments her commentary with scripture throughout the book.

If you are looking for a book that will help you grow in your faith, but speak to you on an easy to understand basis & one that's easy to relate to, this is the book for you. It would also make a great gift for just about anyone! If you happen to be near Winnsboro, Louisiana, Shellie will be at Every Occasion for a book launch & signing today (March 18th) from 3-5:30pm. Be sure to like All Things Southern on Facebook for more information!

*** GIVEAWAY - Closed - Congrats Chantel B. ***


To celebrate the launch of Heart Wide Open, Shellie is giving away a Heart Wide Open Gift Basket that includes:

• A beautiful wallboard inscribed with these words from the Song of Solomon, "Come and awaken love and when I find him I won't let him go."

• A beautiful coffee mug bearing this sentiment, "Heart you to the moon and back."

• A Bird of Paradise heart shaped candle

• A Heart Shaped Keepsake Box

• A Red and White Chevron Design Scarf

• A Heart Wide Open T-Shirt (winner to designate size)

• A $50 Amazon Gift Certificate

• And, of course, a copy of Heart Wide Open

Winner will be chosen April 1st. Contest open to US residents only.

GIVEAWAY: The Silver Craftsman

The Silver Craftsman features unique hand-crafted items that are made using repurposed silverware. What sets The Silver Craftsman apart from other artisans employing this technique is that he recently celebrated his 16th birthday! We have had the pleasure of getting to know this young entrepreneur, Sheldon Roy, and his wonderful support system made up of his mother, father (pictured) & other family members.

Sheldon began The Silver Craftsman in September 2012 offering rings & bracelets made using old silverware. However, his product line quickly expanded, including unique items, such as stamped garden markers, Mr. & Mrs. wedding cake forks, and napkin rings. A visit to The Silver Craftsman's Facebook page introduces many new products that Sheldon has begun offering. I love the new leather cuffs embellished with stamped silverware (pictured). And the personalized necklace featuring spoons with a customer's children's names is amazing!

If you live in the Texas area, you can visit The Silver Craftsman at the 6th Annual Funky Finds Spring on March 8th & 9th in Fort Worth. Sheldon will also be selling his products at Vintage Market Days held March 21st through March 23rd at the Diamond W Arena in Alvarado. The Silver Craftsman occasionally offers giveaways via Instagram, so be sure to follow!

GIVEAWAY: Manhattan Hippy

Manhattan Hippy offers a wide variety of vintage clothing & accessories curated by Marcy Langworthy. In addition to vintage goods, Marcy also hand-crafts button earrings using beautiful vintage fabrics. Fab.com wrote that Marcy "has amassed an enviable collection full of wild prints & funky colors" that are "decidedly un-Manhattan in price."
I had a chance to ask Marcy how Manhattan Hippy has evolved since opening two years ago. "Initially I focused on women's vintage clothing, but as I started to accumulate damaged fabrics, I wanted to find a crafty way to salvage all these funky prints. Lo and behold, the button earrings were born and my apartment (and life!) was officially taken over my swirly whirly 70's prints."

Marcy went on to say that she enjoys designing unique items for others to enjoy. "I grin from ear to ear when I think of people wearing my earrings and vintage pieces all over the world. I'm most inspired by my surroundings. NYC is known for high fashion, but it's the amazing hole-in-the-wall thrift shops that I appreciate the most."

Whether you're looking for something reminiscent of the 70's, like this colorful vintage blouse (pictured), or another decade (80's fans see geometric skirt), Manhattan Hippy is definitely a source you want to check out!

*** GIVEAWAY - Closed - Congrats Glo, Sierra & Wanda Bergman! ***


PRIZE: Three winners will be chosen, each receiving a button earring gift set of their choosing from these three options:
Blue & White Floral / Stripe Combo

 Yellow & Orange Floral Combo
Green & Pink Floral Combo

Holiday Handmade Cavalcade in NYC


WHEN: Saturday, December 14th & Sunday, December 15th, 10am-5pm
WHERE: The Space, 50 N. 3rd St. (between Kent/Wythe), Williamsburg, Brooklyn • Directions


The Handmade Cavalcade is a bi-annual craft fair in New York City organized by a group of local crafters & Etsy sellers. Joe and I were lucky enough to attend the holiday event in December 2010 & I can tell you first-hand that it is a top-notch event that showcases tons of talent! At the event, you will find everything from hand-crafted pet clothing by 46 South Designs to hand-knit necklaces by Yana Rodin. Don't forget to stock up on hand-illustrated greeting cards by Porcupine Hugs, as well! (pictured: Green Floral Denim Dog Coat by 46 South Designs)

The group is giving away a bag of goodies donated by participating vendors via the Etsy New York Facebook page. The giveaway features beautiful jewelry from Sarustar, Prairiefunk, and J. Topolski, art from Tamara Garvey, an infinity scarf from Bshorr Handmade, tea towels from Jenn Eng Studio, and more! Giveaway runs through the event on December 14th & 15th with the winner being announced on Monday, December 16th.

If you attend the event, please stop by & say hi to Lauren of Lolafalk Designs. She used to live in Texas & actually participated in our first Funky Finds Spring Fling in Fort Worth, Texas! Plus, she makes crazy cool leather handbags, satchels, travel bags & more! Definitely worth a look!!! (pictured: The Francis Wallet by Lolafalk Designs)

Petticoats on the Prairie

Joe and I recently trekked out to West Texas, where I am originally from, and attended a wonderful event called Petticoats on the Prairie. I have wanted to attend one of these events for quite some time & we were lucky enough to squeeze in a quick family visit along with attending the event held in Colorado City, Texas. I don't think people around the world, as well as many Texans, realize how vastly different the landscape throughout Texas is or how quickly it changes. We drove from the Piney Woods of East Texas, which is lush with trees, through the Metroplex (lush with concrete & traffic), to West Texas featuring mesquite & wind turbines, finally to arrive in the cotton-dotted Western Plains (ie: so flat you feel you can see for 100+ miles)! As a born & bred Texan, it still blows me away to see the different landscapes. (photo from Petticoats on the Prairie Facebook page)

We opted to attend the event on Friday & arrived right at noon when general shopping began. I am glad we did as I have a feeling it was slim pickings come Saturday! The event was held at the Mitchell Co. Fairgrounds which seemed to me to be the perfect setting for this event that had a strong Western flair. The vendors sold a wide variety of things that included hand-crafted items, vintage & new items. We saw so many gorgeous displays throughout. I wanted to highlight a few of the many terrific vendors we had the pleasure of meeting. (That's me on the right; Joe down below)

Outside near the entrance was an Airstream trailer that the Rhinestone Gypsie's Vagabond Boutique started out in. These ladies offer a wide variety of on-trend clothing in sizes small to 3X which is pretty rare. They offer a number of Texas-based artisans' jewelry, art & other treasures. It's so wonderful to see women entrepreneurs helping out other female business owners! They have two store-front locations in Texas (Merkel and Abilene), but also sell online through their website & Facebook.

Joe & I were both drawn to Old Sole Boot Company. They offer high-quality vintage boots for both men & women & there were some real beauties for sale! We also loved the hand-crafted custom furniture offered by Canon's Custom Furniture. Cody Canon is a real talent when it comes to hand-crafting gorgeous sturdy pieces. Basement Creations, featuring unique jewelry & accessories, had a great set up. I loved her bright creations & really appreciated that everything was displayed in such a way that it was easy to view each piece. I also loved the beautiful children's goods created by Espee Trading Co. out of Midland, Texas. The luxury nap mats looked so comfy & I LOVED the quilted bronc! Texas Trash and Treasures was also a definite funky find. This couple's whimsical art pieces looked to be a hit with many customers. And I couldn't resist purchasing the Monkey Farts soap by Made to Lather!

If we had to pick our favorites though, Joe's would definitely be In a Pickle Foods based out of Fort Worth. I don't know how we haven't come across these delectable treats before, but thankfully we discovered them at Petticoats! I was busy shopping at the booth next to In a Pickle so I didn't get to sample all the goodies, but Joe purchased the Sweet & Spicy Pickle Chips and the Bread & Butter Pickle Chips. Both are DELICIOUS!!! Joe has been rationing them out & is already talking about getting more!

(photo from the In A Pickle Foods website)

While Joe was taste testing 'til his heart was content, I was sniffing away at the Screen Door Vintage booth. Austin-based friends Charity & Jen (pictured) offer a wide variety of scented candles in various vintage containers. I loved their products because, hey, everyone loves a candle, right? And also because once the candle is used up, you are left with an adorable vintage container that can be repurposed. The duo had created a special scent aptly named Colorado City that smelled like Autumn which I loved! Screen Door Vintage also has a Facebook page with more info & photos.

Thank you to the wonderful event organizers & all the talented vendors who set up at Petticoats on the Prairie!
We had a delightful time in West Texas!!!

GIVEAWAY: Kast Concrete

Kast Concrete features concrete knobs created by Grey Hensey, a full-time furniture designer in Atlanta. The knobs are cast in rubber molds resulting in a smooth finish. Grey was quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying, "Everyone is using raw materials like metal, wood and concrete, but by creating a glassy look, I'm trying to expand people's perceptions of what concrete can be. It doesn't have to look like a sidewalk, it can be delicate and refined."

According to Kast Concrete's ScoutMob Shoppe, Grey's endeavors started with a simple project in school, designing and making concrete tiles. But Grey became fascinated with the utilitarian material and began experimenting with concrete, perhaps a little obsessively.

Kast Concrete makes a straight-forward commitment that I believe we can all get behind.

Kast Concrete is committed to modernizing timeless design, through exquisite concrete decor.

Kast Concrete is committed to its unique customers, through timely, friendly service.

Kast Concrete is committed to American handmade, through each 'hand-kast' product.

Kast Concrete is committed to the planet, through concrete recycling.

Sounds pretty great, doesn't it!? Check out the four styles of knobs Grey is currently offering, each available in your choice of light grey or charcoal color.

Weekend Kits has been a longtime funky find! Over the years, Weekend Kits has continued to offer quality craft kits that cover many categories & appeal to crafters of all ages & skill sets.

Weekend Kits also offers a large selection of Sublime Stitching embroidery patterns and plush animal sewing kits which I love! (Pictured: Klutz - Jewelry Making Kit for Kids - Dot Jewelry)

Thankfully, Weekend Kits makes it a bit easier with the numerous Christmas Craft Kits, such as the stocking kits and card making kits. (Pictured: Felt Pillow Kit - Christmas Craft - Colorful Tree)
