This is just a small sampling of the kinds of items that can be found in the wonderful shop of Crafty Moose. From French beaded flowers, to dolls and mini works of original art, this shop has something for everyone. I chose these items because each one has special meaning for me. I love beaded flowers and like to collect Santas. Venice,Italy is on my list of the top 10 places to visit, but unfortunately I missed Burano. The picture below has convinced me that next time I go, Burano will be on my list of places to see. Get your holiday shopping list ready and pay this shop a visit. Don't forget to visit Crafty Moose's blog too.

Plastic Pumpkin

It was very hard for me to choose from Plastic Pumpkin's gorgeous works of art because I liked so many of them. I have always been a big fan of Chinese brush painting and Ren has mastered this technique so well. Please visit her shop at http://plasticpumpkin.etsy.com/ and have a feast for the eyes. You can read more about her on http://plasticpumpkin.wordpress.com/.
