Friday Finds, Dance Style: Ballerina Bears

The last Saturday of every July is National Dance Day, which makes it tomorrow! The closest Six Flags is quite a ride from here to participate in the group numbers choreographed by the So You Think You Can Dance crew, so I'll be celebrating at home. Find out how by reading yesterday's It's the Sparkles and the Shimmies, a guest post by belly dancer AJ Reardon.

Like many little girls, I dreamed ephemerally of being a ballerina when I grew up. I took tap, jazz and ballet as a child, but my interests twirled onto other artistic things in middle school. Feeling nostalgic, today I slipped on my ballet slippers and pirouetted around Etsy's stage. These adorable ballerina bears joined me in the limelight.

    Indeed I do, Marlene! They're all amazing dancers, but Melanie is my favorite, too! She's adorably unique. Marko is a close second, wow.

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...

Giveaway: Blue Mushroom Sculpture by Woodland Whimsy

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to the randomly chosen 16th commenter, Wendy Hatton! Winter has barely begun, and I'm already dreaming of warm weather and greener grass. If you're feeling the same, don't despair - you could be the one to win this rare blue mushroom that won't decay or freeze, no matter the season. Meet Crystal, an adorable ooak needle felted mushroom by Shana of Woodland Whimsy . The white portions of Crystal's exterior are sheep's wool and the blue portions are hand dyed alpaca fiber. Her skeleton is needle felted fiber fill. I have no skills in creating three dimensional art, so the sculptures and art dolls by my fellow Fantasy Artists of Etsy amaze me. Although Shana has been crafting practically her whole life, needle felting is a new technique to her. Last year her mom bought alpacas and their fleece encouraged her to learn how to felt. Needle felting is a process that uses a special barbed needle to mesh the fibers to...
