Branch out to Autena Trinkets and Treasures!

I am thrilled to introduce my very first and incredibly sweet blog sponsor, Megan of Autena! Her childhood home was akin to a museum, full of interesting items that amassed over the years. She describes it as, "a magical visual atmosphere, which allowed for the viewer’s imagination to bubble forth. Thus was nurtured my passion for collecting - holding on to heirlooms and scouring markets of all sorts for whatever held my fancy at the time."

After a career in the food business, followed by one in health care, she's returned to her roots for her third career as a treasure hunter and re-purposed jewelry artist. She proves that the third time's a charm! Her Etsy shop is filled with unique trinkets from vintage Christmas ornaments and perfume bottles to handmade bracelets of upcycled buttons and chains.

    Neat! I really should browse, since I haven't bought a new Christmas ornament this year.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
