Feelin' Blue?

Are you feelin' blue? How about going shopping on Artfire to pick up some things that will cheer you up. It just so happens that these items are blue also. Perhaps pairing them up with you will make them (and you) feel better.

PLEATED WOODLAND BIRDS ON BLUE PURSE HANDBAG

This pleated purse is made from a beautiful bird fabric with a sky blue background. Just the right size for a fun day shopping or for everyday at work.
The inside is made from Ivory quilted fabric. There is 3 inside pockets and a swivel hook key fob to attach your keys to.

The entire bag is lined with a heavy interfacing to help it stand alone.

This is part of my "Spring Earring Sale". Buy 4, and I will refund your shipping.







FANCY BLUE LAMPWORK BRACELET WITH HEART CHARM

This beautiful lampwork glass bracelet measures 7 1/2" long. It is made with 8mm to 10mm to 10mm x 12mm fancy blue lampwork glass beads. It has a 15mm x 18mm lampwork glass heart charm dangling from the middle. It has 6mm faceted glass accent beads and has a silver plated lobster clasp.

IPOD, MP3, CELL PHONE CASE/SOCK US $4.99

Crocheted sock for your cell phone, mp3 player, or makeup. Drawstring closure.

PURPLE AND BLUE DISHCLOTH SET WITH POT SCRUBBER US $6.00

Set of two crochet dishcloths. Made with 100% cotton yarn, double crocheted. Plus, one matching pot scrubber made with netting. Works great on teflon pans without scratching them.









SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL & STERLING SILVER RING US $30.00

MARTY, SMALL BEADED SPIDER
US $10.00

I could not resist that color blue. Sapphire with a distinctive silver sheen.

Marty is about 2 inches long and 2 inches wide--and all sparkle. He is easily poseable, but please remember that he is only wire, and bending her legs too much will break them. Don't pull legs off of spiders, even beaded ones--it's quite revolting and the artist might not like you anymore.



NAVY HOUNDSTOOTH DOG JAMMIES US $22.00

Our super stretchy, super soft fleece will keep your pup toasty warm through the winter months without hindering movement.
Body is made with premium houndstooth anti-pill fleece in two-tone blue with contrasting baby blue front legs and turtleneck.
Open underneath for quick potty breaks and great for layering under our coordinating topcoat for really cold weather. We can add a bit of elastic on the legs if you'd like...just ask.
Will fit up to a 20 pound dog.






AVERY'S DRAGON, ACEO PRINT US $6.00

Art Card Edition Original 2.5" x 3.5" •2 of 25, printed on Canson Watercolor paper with high quality color HP Vivera Inks.

This tote can be used to carry papers, a laptop, wallet, and any of your other necessities. This tote will also work well for travel.

OUCHY EATERS - MONSTER BOO BOO PACK US $12.00

Ollie (our little boy) Ouchy Eater...is a super friendly and super soft little guy whose sole purpose is to make our little ones feel better. Smiling away with his little snaggletoothed grimace, big wide eyes, funny little hairs and the softest velvet minky fabric...Ollie has mastered his own little way of eating away those Ouchies!

These little boo boo packs are filled with 100% Organic Flax Seeds. Ollie lives in the freezer but likes to also go in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm him up. Flax seeds are the perfect replacement for those super cold gel packs or ice cubes. They get to the perfect temperature that is more tolerable for our little ones. Flax seeds are great for retaining heat or cold. Flax-filled heated pillows provide a gentle, moist heat, which promotes healing, while their therapeutic weight is gentle and conforms to the body.

GUINEA PIG PLUSHIE - RED & WHITE US $25.00

This is an adult-sized guinea pig plushie. I created the original pattern myself from scratch, so it's completely unique from anything else you'll ever find. Each plush is made with soft acrylic faux fur, and I only use furs that accurately portrays a guinea pig in both color and softness. They feature details just like a real guinea pig, with 4 toes on the front feet and 3 toes on the hind feet. The little ears can either stand up or fold down. This piggy measures about 8 inches from nose to fuzzy butt.
