Last Minute Valentines Gifts Part 2

 Okay and here we go, part two! Please enjoy these lovely treasuries. I had so much fun looking for ones to feature. I found a bunch of new shops to watch as well!

Warning: This page is GRAPHICALLY HEAVY. There are 5 treasuries to load. Please be patient. It may take a minute or two to finish loading.







In order to feature all these great treasuries I used a Craft Cult widget maker. It was SUPER helpful in making really short codes that didn't clog up my text box when writing this blog entry and making relatively small but still easily seen Treasury images. Want to make your own treasury previews? Check out the Craft Cult Treasury Tab. It's super easy!

Last Minute Valentines Gifts Part 1

I know this post is so late. ): I apologize, the week was SO busy! I didn't get much response from people when I was asking others to share their treasuries to be featured so I had to find my own. I had fun looking through all these. You can bet I tweeted each and every one! :)

Unfortunately as well blogger won't let me post all of the treasuries I chose in one post. So listed below is just the first half of this feature! I will post the next half tomorrow so as to not spam you all. Haha. :D

Anyway I tried to find a nice mix of things. Not everyone is shopping for a woman and not everyone is shopping for a guy. Some people shop for their pets and some shop for themselves. Some people love red and some people really want non-traditional gifts for holidays. Hopefully these Etsy treasuries help you to find the perfect gift for Valentines Day. You only have 6 days left!

Warning: This page is GRAPHICALLY HEAVY please give it time to load! There are 6 treasuries listed here! It may take a minute or two to load fully.













Hopefully these help you figure out some gift ideas for that crafty person or even a child in your life who deserves something sweet this V-Day. From pets to people to crafters and more.

Valentine's Day - Show Some Love

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since my last blog post. So much has happened since then. I last updated about my craft show prep...well, when Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast it changed those plans. The craft show was moved to March 2nd so I have been thankfully given a few extra months (since the hurricane anyway) for me to prep. With just over a month left to prepare I'm feeling the heat but I'm confident I can do it! :)

Also around the corner is Valentines Day. I was never too into it as a kid and I've never really had a Valentine, but now that I'm older I find myself falling in love with this holiday. It allows me to step out of my comfort zone when making jewelry. I'll be the first to admit that pink is not a color I wear and I think sometimes that bit of predjudice for the color leaks over into my creativity. But for Valentine's Day I can go nuts.

It's not just me though. I've found a bunch of nice items on Etsy that I just love. :)

I used to stay away from pink colored things like this when I was younger, but these sweet pretzel treats are just too good to pass up now. Check out TheSugarForest for these and more goodies.

I'm such a sucker for bath and body products. I covet the stuff in any color, shape, or form. These blue soap hearts are so pretty and there is plenty more where these come from at Bmbyx. And if blue isn't your thing why not check out the bubble bath, body lotion, and heart soap gift set? CarriesBerries carries that and a variety of items just like it.

 

Of course being a handmade fanatic I love handmade cards. There is nothing better than seeing such beautiful creations I once thought could only be found at a store offering mass produced things. These are some really adorable and creative designs. The kitty one is my favorite.

If you'd like to see more check out KidCardDesigns for more like the butterfly card. Love that robot? Sentimentsbydesign has many more gorgeous creations like it. And for my personal favorite, check out AnnKayGreetingCards for more.

I would love to see any V-Day creations you guys have made or have found across Etsy or Artfire. :) My shop also has some V-Day items, here are just a few:

 

And last just a bit of news. I fell down our basement stairs yesterday. It was so not fun. ): I am thankfully alright and nothing seems broken. I am able to walk on the leg I injured and am now just tending to some minor scrapes and a very swollen foot/leg. Hopefully there won't be any hospital trips in my near future. I also found out yesterday (just before I fell down the stairs) that the United States Postal Service (USPS) has hiked up their shipping prices again, effective starting today. I sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience this will cause to my International shoppers/fans. International rates have just about doubled. So again, I do apologize for the inconvenience this will cause. I am going to be looking into seeing whether or not UPS or Fedex offers anything cheaper but I'm not sure that they do.

Anyway, have a great Sunday night! :)

First Post & Hellos

Hello! And welcome to the Threaded Chains blog. My name is Remmie and I am one of the members of Threaded Chains. I do all of the updating and such.

I'd like to say thank you for coming to read our blog entries. We're happy you stopped by. :)

We dabble in making key chains, hemp jewelry, wire jewelry, stretch string jewelry, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, chokers, anklets, book marks, eyeglass and sunglasses holder strings, children's jewelry and there is always potential for more!

At times we may feature items made from our close friends or family so be on the look out for those. I will be sure to post to the blog whenever such items become available. They could range from anything from Vintage items to custom made items like bookmarks, prints, and more!

To get right down to business I'd like to clarify how Threaded Chains operates. At the moment we sell our wares through both Etsy.com and Deviantart.com. For those not in the know Etsy operates like a store front and you can complete full transactions there automatically. On the other hand our Deviantart.com "store front" is really just a journal post with picture thumbnails, pricing, information, shipping, etc listed out all in one post.

To order anything from our shop through Deviantart.com you must either have a Deviantart.com account (which is completely free) so you can contact us via note OR you may simply e-mail me, Remmie, directly at Deathinthereaper@hotmail.com and simply label your subject "Purchase from Threaded Chains" and let us know which of the products listed in our journal you're interested in. The same applies to the private message (notes) system on DA. Label your subject appropriately and let us know which items you're ordering.

In regards to shipping, totals are approximate for Etsy but if you order from us through Deviantart we can drastically reduce the cost because each transaction is more personal and customizable when completed freely away from Etsy.

All our policies are listed at both Deviantart and Etsy. If there are any concerns, questions, or comments please feel free to contact us through Etsy, Deviantart, e-mail, or through our blog here.

I also want to mention that we may, at times, post certain items exclusively on either Deviantart.com or Etsy.com. We will not accept any orders for those items from other locations other than where we have them listed.

Also, don't forget that we take custom orders!

On a more personal note I, Remmie, take art commissions. My price list can be viewed on my Deviantart.com account here and there are links from there leading to both Threaded Chains information and my personal Commissions journal.

Be on the look out for Halloween Themed items soon! I'm working on some items now and have plans for others.

Thanks for reading and happy shopping!


Sincerely,

Threaded Chains
