Friday Feature: birthday wish list

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up with me this past week for my Friday Feature link up!  Here are just a few of the great finds that were featured.  Click on the photos to check out the item listings, blog posts, etc.

Last year when I wrote this post, I mentioned that I wasn't thinking much about my birthday because my mind was on other things.  I do still feel a little preoccupied this year, but for different reasons.  Regardless, to anyone who is about to or who has a spouse who is about to complete the match process for med school, I am very sympathetic because this time of year is so tough.

Moving on, I put together this list for my family.  I don't expect my readers to buy me presents, though you certainly can.  I share this list here because I think that it's interesting to see what my own favorite bloggers like to buy (or browse) on Etsy.  Enjoy!

Friday Feature: random

Welcome to the July random edition of my Friday Feature!  Enjoy!

Of course I had to include at least one set of beads.  I would probably use the sets of 4 beads for each color separately, but I love this color palette, too.

It wouldn't be a random feature without at least one triangle item.  I love the idea of creating a beadwoven triangle clasp like this!

I had to include one more triangle item, too.

This is actually a pattern listing.  I don't post a lot of them here.  This is for all of us who love right angle weave.

One more set of beads...

Turquoise Black... by blueseraphim

And another one...I apologize that this random feature is a little heavy on the beads.  It's one of the only items that I've been browsing lately on Etsy.

Friday feature: dotted lamp work

I had so much fun with my dotted leafy feature that I decided to do a dotted lamp work feature.  I got carried away with this one.  It's considerably longer than my features normally are. Many of you reading this enjoy beads just as much as I do so I didn't think that anyone would mind.  Enjoy!

Quick note: In honor of Etsy finally rolling out their free shipping codes, I'm having a free shipping Friday in my Etsy shop.  Use the code FREESHIPFRI for all purchases today.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming: I'm moving my monthly random feature to a Friday for February.  I'm planning to return with leaves next Friday.  For now, enjoy some of my random picks!

One of my other recurring themes on this blog: triangles.
