Weekly BESTeam Feature

When I first looked into this shop, I wondered what was all the fuss about these vinyl decals, then I couldn't stop imagining all the creative uses for them-DUH!

The artful staging of products is something we can all learn to improve upon. OffTheWallExpressions does it in a fabulous way! I urge you to take a look at how they present their items for sale-each one gives you an example of how you could use it in your home or business.

Take this image for example, if you sold coffees or coffee related products you could use this to create a display for your products.

Now take a look at this example, how fun would this be at a wedding:
Chalkboard decals  Can you imagine having your guests write up their thoughts, having them photographed and compiled into an album-what a great way to preserve memories of any special day. If you are the photographer, this would be a great addition to your repetoire of items! I could imagine this set up being used at birthdays, anniverseries,  just about any get togethers. If you're planning a family reunion or graduation this may be a great thing to do!

Their Vintage Style Chalkboard Square has been featured on "Good Morning America"! http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/JobClub/tory-johnsons-cheap-chic-gifts-coworkers/story?id=9264584

How exciting! I can see why they have been "discovered."

I really hope that you are enjoying being introduced to my new BESTeam members. I am enjoying exploring their shops and bring them you!

Don't you love peeking into other peoples shops? It's like opening up a door and finding all sorts of new treasures and ideas. You have to drop by loveelycia's shop on Etsy! It's so fresh and exciting. How she  photographs her items are absolutely fun!

In describing her work she says, "I keep thinking of so many cute things to make, i can't keep them all for myself. I am an only child so I'm not very good at sharing, but I will try my best."

I love this Pick Me Guitar Purse that I found in her shop:



So, go take a look...and be prepared to have some fun!

SugarPineBoutique


This week I'm featuring the shop SugarPineBoutique. Haven't you just opened the door to a shop and just stopped in the doorway and taken a deep breathe. Hmmmmm.....I can just smell the wonderful scents that I find here!

Take a look at this lovely Soap Gift Set.

Two soaps have been combined to create a neat gift pack for your favorite friend or relative. Not only are you getting 2 hand-crafted soaps, but also a bath accessory made of aloo. Aloo comes from a nettle-like plant in the Himalayan Mountains that is harvested and spun into yarn. It is eco-friendly, sustainable and makes an excellent exfoliatant. The gift 'box' is constructed from soft flannel and recycled vinyl or remnants.

Soaps in this pack:

Calm Citrus
Ingredients: coconut, palm, canola and almond oils, lye, water and orange, lemon, tangerine and grapefruit essential oil.

Banana Bread
Ingredients: olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, cottonseed oil,soybean oil, sunflower oil, lye, water, oatmeal, honey and fragrance oil.

Don't they sound good enough to eat! And, these come tucked inside a washcloth.  Wouldn't this make a lovely gift for mom-or yourself!


Who wouldn't want this Lavender Eye Pillow? Filled with lavender and lentils, you just pop this into the fridge to get it nice and cool. This will help calm and soothe those tired eyes, great for this time of year with all the pollen in the air! What a pretty pouch this comes in!

You can also follow her blog here.

I hope you'll visit these shops, and let me know what you find!

Until later,

Tight Lines!

ConduitPress

This weeks featured BESTeam member is ConduitPress. When I first looked into this shop, I found some wonderful items.
Take a look at this Rustic Brown Leather Journal that I found.

Here is her description-This is a soft cover light brown leather journal bound with a brown linen thread using the long stitch method. This type of stitching allows the book to lie flat when in use. Leather is upcycled great quality upholstery leather with a beautiful suede on the inside. There is a sweet little swirly tree burned into the cover of this one of a kind journal. Inside pages are hand torn acid free 100lb true white paper.

I've always wanted to keep a journal-something I could pass on. This would make a wonderful gift for someone special.

The more I looked around, the more I found!

Take a look at this Hollowed Book Safe . It's one of many in her shop.

Great for storing your family jewels...what no family jewels? This would still be great looking on your bookshelf. Imagine leaving a little note to your loved one and having him find it!

I hope you enjoy the shops that I am bringing to you. Please share your thoughts and comments. I'd love to know what you think about them and if  I sparked your imagination!
