It's me Mary is unique handmade jewelry, clothing and accessories for the young, the old, the hip, and the geeky - hand crocheted bracelets and other items that come from deep within the inner workings of my brain and out through my hands in the form of something special.

Well, Christmas is over. It was quite a rush!! Thankfully my nieces and nephew loved the crocheted animals I made them!! Unfortunately I will NOT be making custom animals in my shop. They take way too long!! I will be sticking to beanies, scarves, headbands and bracelets for the time being. But before getting back into the swing of things I will be putting my shop on “vacation” for some much needed time off. Happy New Year everyone!
Whoa!!! This has been one crazy holiday season, and the holidays haven’t even started yet! I had no idea what I was getting into selling on Etsy for the holidays. Non-stop crocheting, posting, wrapping, shipping. It was definitely a learning experience that I will never forget. I will be taking a “vacation” from Etsy in early January and have plans to do some re-organizing of my shop to make things easier for everyone. I want to thank everyone who purchased items from me for the holidays!! I hope everyone loves their handmade gifts. As you can see from the picture, I am also handmaking some of my own gifts. I bought this pattern off Etsy and decided to start making them about a month ago and I am just now getting them put together. These were way more work than I thought they’d be but they are going to be really cute when they are finished. I can’t wait to give them to the little ones!
I just updated my shop with the last bracelets available to ship before xmas!!! Check them out. The last orders to ship before xmas should be placed by Monday, December 20th. Custom Orders should be placed no later than Monday, December 13th.
Give the gift of good-luck to your girlfriend, and your favorite basketball team this year with this Laker-color bracelet. Ready to ship TODAY, in the shop.
I came across some thicker embroidery floss while I was in France this past year. It took me awhile to figure out what to make with it, but while looking at many fashion blogs the idea was pretty much thrown in my face. Headbands!.. duh.
So here they are! The thread I have is in limited quantities until I figure out where else I can get it. So because of that there will be no custom orders of headbands.. Sorry, but I love you!
Here’s a sneak peek of some new items COMING SOON to the SHOP! Stay tuned.
Etsy has a new feature called Activity Feed. Think “Facebook News Feed” for Etsy. You can add etsy users (or sellers) to “your circle” and when they update their etsy page, whether that means posting a new item to their shop, or adding an item to their “favorites”, it will show up in your activity feed. To see all this new stuff just login to Etsy and navigate to http://www.etsy.com/your/activity. There you will see your current Activity Feed plus links to see more of your circle, or other circles you are in. I have just added my etsy friends and users who have made purchases to my circle. Is It’s me Mary in your circle?
