    <title>Handmade Haven</title>
    <link>http://www.1000markets.com/groups/30</link>
    <description>In this day and age it is so easy to jump in the car and drive to our local shopping center or mall and find everything at our disposal. Shops filled with endless arrays of plastic or electronic goods, shops chock-a-block with fads, fun stuff, and fluff. For people who need instant gratification, mall shopping can fill that need as quick as a wink, but, here's the thing, your local Mall or Shopping Center doesn't have, great quality handmade goods. When you buy handmade not only are you buying an item, you are buying in to the "branding" of it, and a little piece of the creator. You instantly recognize that loving hands have carefully crafted something really extraordinary, something that carries with it a little piece of the creators personality. It is really joyous to look around Handmade Haven and see such talent and craftsmanship, it far outshines what you can buy in a local store. Items are innovative, quirky, beautiful, ingenious, and original. That's one of the things I love most about shopping handmade, the very fact that you have something original, and even if the seller recreates items to sell them again, each one is its own unique entity because its not mass produced. Shopping Handmade is a unique experience, and one I hope more and more people will start to do, because when you shop handmade you own a piece of handmade heaven.</description>

This lovely satin glaze is accented with a very glossy dark brown glaze as if it were finished off with icing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stamped symbols, thumb button and gentle carving around the base add special touches to this unique mug. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stands a smidge under 3.5" tall and holds 12 oz.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$20.00</description>

      <title>Note Cards, Flowers/ The Language of Flowers 23 (Set of 4)</title>

      <description>&lt;img src="http://www.1000markets.comhttp://s3.amazonaws.com/1000markets-images/pictures/1167/9611/_Weigela_copy_1_display.jpg?20100318234602" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offered by: &lt;a href="http://www.1000markets.com/users/13245"&gt;rabbitwhiskers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blushing Arm of Flowers, Crinkle Rose, Precious Pink Wish, Rose Trio&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have fallen into the lure of flowers! I LOVE gardening and flowers and I love to photograph them and study their intricate details , markings and colors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm sure you've heard the nurturing advice given by some well-seasoned gardeners that if you talk to your plants they will be happy and thrive- Over the past few years I have posted some of my photos online. Looking at each photo in order to title it for posting, I get a sense of flowers talking. This suggests to me that the idea of talking to your plants works both ways. With this in mind, I titled my first series of notecards. "The Language of Flowers." My desire is to produce photos that are both beautiful and interesting. I hope you like them!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have put blank white notecards and envelopes into sets of four cards. Each card measures 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" and is of top-quality card stock. Centered on the cover of each card is a beautiful 4x6 glossy photograph of a flower/s that has been developed by Kodak on quality photographic paper.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each card in a set has a different photo. The sets are numbered and each set has a different assortment of four notecards. To fully appreciate the beauty of each notecard, I am posting the original photo for you to see, however every notecard will arrive with a photo mounted on it . The fifth picture is displayed only as an example of how an actual notecard with a picture mounted on it will look. The notecard used in this fifth picture may be used in one of the actual sets,  but it is also used as the fifth picture in every set,  purely as an example of what a finished notecard looks like.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each set of cards comes wrapped in a sheet of heavy decorative paper,  fastened at the ends with a ribbon bow( see picture #5) and will be sent in a bubble mailer to insure protection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*These blank photo notecards offer room for a long note or letter and make excellent gifts. They also look stunning framed and hanging singly or in groupings, on a wall! I hope you have as much joy looking at them as I have had creating them!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$10.00</description>

      <title>Note Cards, Flowers/ The Language of Flowers 19 (Set of 4)</title>
      <link>http://www.1000markets.com/products/260521</link>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://www.1000markets.comhttp://s3.amazonaws.com/1000markets-images/pictures/1167/8611/Cyclamen_Pink_copy_display.jpg?20100318232815" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offered by: &lt;a href="http://www.1000markets.com/users/13245"&gt;rabbitwhiskers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cyclamen Pink, Every-Which-Way Pink, Pink Fantasy, Sheer Pink&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have fallen into the lure of flowers! I LOVE gardening and flowers and I love to photograph them and study their intricate details , markings and colors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm sure you've heard the nurturing advice given by some well-seasoned gardeners that if you talk to your plants they will be happy and thrive- Over the past few years I have posted some of my photos online. Looking at each photo in order to title it for posting, I get a sense of flowers talking. This suggests to me that the idea of talking to your plants works both ways. With this in mind, I titled my first series of notecards. "The Language of Flowers." My desire is to produce photos that are both beautiful and interesting. I hope you like them!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have put blank white notecards and envelopes into sets of four cards. Each card measures 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" and is of top-quality card stock. Centered on the cover of each card is a beautiful 4x6 glossy photograph of a flower/s that has been developed by Kodak on quality photographic paper.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each card in a set has a different photo. The sets are numbered and each set has a different assortment of four notecards. To fully appreciate the beauty of each notecard, I am posting the original photo for you to see, however every notecard will arrive with a photo mounted on it . The fifth picture is displayed only as an example of how an actual notecard with a picture mounted on it will look. The notecard used in this fifth picture may be used in one of the actual sets,  but it is also used as the fifth picture in every set,  purely as an example of what a finished notecard looks like.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each set of cards comes wrapped in a sheet of heavy decorative paper,  fastened at the ends with a ribbon bow( see picture #5) and will be sent in a bubble mailer to insure protection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*These blank photo notecards offer room for a long note or letter and make excellent gifts. They also look stunning framed and hanging singly or in groupings, on a wall! I hope you have as much joy looking at them as I have had creating them!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$10.00</description>

The surface has been textured and lightly oxidized to highlight the texture, giving an antiqued look to the pieces.  They are slightly domed. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I choose to use gold-filled ear wires as they were similar in color to the brass.  I can change them to brass or sterling silver if desired.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The discs are 1 inch and the earrings measure approximately 1-1/4 inches from the top of the ear wires.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$30.00</description>

Add a swirly paper back, a silver bail and a decorative coating to the back and you've got a real winner - the style is very trendy, but also bohemian because it's handmade and inspired by nature! 16 inch sterling snake chain finishes off this whimsical necklace.  Can easily be restrung on a longer chain if you prefer - just ask!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Free domestic USPS Priority Mail shipping. 3-5 Day delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$38.00</description>

      <title>Colorful Butterfly Zippered Pouch</title>
      <link>http://www.1000markets.com/products/259051</link>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://www.1000markets.comhttp://s3.amazonaws.com/1000markets-images/pictures/1158/2541/bfp4_display.jpg?20100317192625" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offered by: &lt;a href="http://www.1000markets.com/users/11665"&gt;pooloudesigns&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a very colorful pouch with butterflies!  The background is off white and the butterflies are purple, red, blue and yellow.  There are also some flowers in the same colors.  Everything is outlined in sparkly gold!  This pouch can easily fit all the essentials: small wallet, cell phone, keys, lipstick, etc.! Great when you don't want to take your purse! Also makes a great cosmetic bag!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This pouch measures approximately 7 in. wide, 5 in deep. I added a off white zipper. The pouch is fully interfaced to add body and sturdiness. I used upholstery thread for added durablilty. The fabrics have been pre-washed. Spot clean. Iron on cotton setting if needed. The lining fabric is the same as the outside. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for looking!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kristen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$8.00</description>
