Inspiration - roseyeskova.etsy.com

I have yet to purchase a piece of clothing off of Etsy, but this will (someday) be my first purchase of Etsy clothing. I am continually amazed by the clothing on Etsy, the priceless pieces of handmade clothing with their creativity that just inspires so much of our day, the jewelry we wear, how we present ourself, where we go, and who we are with. Our fashion says so much about us and this tunic even says so much about the creator. Rose is a young, start-up fashion designer currently living in Brisbane, Australia. Her current collection (including this tunic) was inspired by Early Anglo-Saxon costume 4th-7th Centuries, but has been updated with innovative techniques and contemporary designs. Rose continues to inspire my heart with this tunic and someday I will hopefully own it and then review it here, but until then, this is it.

You can find more creations by rose in her etsy shop here: http://roseyeskova.etsy.com

Review - roseofsharonacres.etsy.com

Curious, I purchased a sample size of 'peppermint tooth chips' from roseofsharonacres.etsy.com on 11.06.07. They arrived by the time I got back on 11.11.07 and I grabbed the package from my mailbox and quickly rushed in to open it. The package arrived very nicely done, a stamped return address, and a handwritten address for me. Opening it there were some staples I had to get through but this was nice and safe and what I paid for shipping was spot on. Opening it, there was a business card with a handwritten note on the back, a soap sample, and the tooth chips I ordered! I was off to the bathroom to try out my new 'tooth chips'! At first I was more than excited! The directions were to place one chip onto a back molar, bite down, and start to brush with a wet brush. I found this seemed like the best way to do it too. The chips have neem in them so they are not recommended if you are pregnant or trying; it is also a flavor to get used to. I wish the peppermint was stronger but overall the product is well done and does what it says; my teeth felt nice and clean after brushing! I am still deciding if I will be getting more but they are definitely worth a try! The price is only $3.70 total and you can find them here: http://roseofsharonacres.etsy.com/
