Info about stones:

Considered a sacred stone by the Native American Indians, CHACLEDONY nurtures and promotes brotherhood and good will.
- Used to assist telepathy
- Absorbs negative energy and dissipates it
- Harmonizes mind, body, and spirit
- Instills generosity;
Healers use it to decrease ill effects of senility and dementia as well as to heal the eyes, gallbladder, bones, spleen, blood and circulatory system.

Fluotrite:

Though primarily recognized as a mental healer, crystal healers also consider Fluorite a good physical healer, protecting one from infection by purification of the body, cleansing the spirit and eliminating almost any virus or bacteria. They also prescribe it for women in need of balancing their hormones. Because of its chemical makeup, they believe it can help with bones and teeth.

Pearls are thought by others to have very strong “magnetic” powers and have been used in “gem therapy” to strengthen nerves, the adrenal glands, the spleen and muscle tissue.

During one of our travels, while shopping at an antique store, I came across these wonderful rice papers with printed watercolor designs in Oriental brush technique on them. Although the artist's siganture is written in Kanji, I don't know for sure whether they are of Japanese or Chinese origin.

I laminated them into a sturdy 7mm laminating pouches to preserve their looks for a long time, and now offer here as a set of 4 (four) placemats. Total size of each placemat 12"x15", rice paper area with design 10.5"x14.75".

This set of four (4) placemats has a painting of an iris flower, the size of which is about 6"x6.25". It also has a stamp of an artist and signature. Silk fibers are very clearly visible and add sophisticated touch. The back side is plain white.
They would make a great housewarming gift - for they are pretty neutral and would fit into almost any decor.

Your kids may draw on these placemats with washable markers. I recommend to do draving on the back side of the mat.

Care instructions:
* wipe with clean wet sponge or paper towel after use or when necessary, air dry.

ONLY TWO SETS TOTAL AVAILABLE IN THIS DESIGN!

OOAK capelet, hand-knit, original design, size S, pure new wool

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:00:27 -0500

$56.95
I was inspired by a vintage pattern of a shawl, which I incorporated into the design of this beautiful hand-knit ponchette. I designed it with a busy modern woman in mind, who never the less loves style and comfrot. I used light lavender color, which is so vintage-inspired and feminine.

I knitted it from 100% pure new wool (yarn by Lana Gatto, made in Italy), two strands held together, and added a ribbing for easy fit and a crocheted edge. It is pretty stretchy sideways and opens up to a beautiful lacy pattern.

Fits sizes from XS to M, ribbing is 22" in circumference, stretches to 29", bottom is about 44", stretches to 56-58". See photos on a model for the fit.

Care instructions:

Hand wash in luke warm water with mild detergent, or in washing machine on Gentle Wool Setting, dry flat, iron warm if needed.

Thanks for stopping by! Please cehck back often for new designs.

wool dryer balls, hand felted, non-bleeding, safe, eco alternative

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:52:54 -0400

$22.50
Sold in hand-sewn cotton bag (not in the photo) for ventilated storage in sets of 4 (four). Ready for shipping within 24 hours!

Hand-felted from loosely spun 100% wool yarn these 7"-7.5" dryer balls are great "green" alternative to a plastic version widely sold in stores which also often contains harmful chemicals (such as PVC) and can lead to different types of cancer. Same hazard frequently applies to dryer sheets.

By using re-usable wool dryer balls you will have your clothes soft and also will reduce waste and save money. Wool dryer balls are great absorbents and will help you to save energy by cutting drying time. If drying a lot of syntetic fabrics - some static maybe created, in this case use white vinegar during rinse cycle (2-3 tbsp depending on the size of a load).

Premium acrylic or wool/acrylic blend yarn used as a core inside which will keep them from excessive shrinkage during drying cycle, and adds strength and durability.

Add two drops of your favorite fragrance oil or spritz of parfume for aroma therapy effect (wait till fully absorbed by the wool!).

Great as a toy too! For kids and pets as well.

They acorns are vary from 1" to 1.5" long.

Due to natural properties of pearls, as well as its elegance and beauty, the pearl has been associated through the ages with the “matrix of life” itself. Proponents allege that the pearl helps to balance the human body’s natural rhythms and hormone levels with lunar cycles.

There are also those that claim that the pearl can bring inner wisdom and help to strengthen and nurture the growth of love.

For many centures Onyx has been thought to bring powers of protection and defensive magic. It has also been thought to reinforce the knowledge that there is no death, aiding in the understanding of the wheel of birth, death and rebirth. It brings about the knowledge that separation is an illusion and reunion will come. It helps future life progressions, and prevents and removes spirit possessions.

Contemporary authors say the onyx brings increased vigor, strength, stamina, and self control. It alleviates worry, tension, and nervousness and eliminates confusion and nightmares. It is also believed to aid in ailments such as epilepsy or glaucoma and is known to have powers to rectify damage done to cells.

***Info about the pearls***

Due to natural properties of pearls, as well as its elegance and beauty, the pearl has been associated through the ages with the “matrix of life” itself. Proponents allege that the pearl helps to balance the human body’s natural rhythms and hormone levels with lunar cycles.

There are also those that claim that the pearl can bring inner wisdom and help to strengthen and nurture the growth of love. Pearls are thought by others to have very strong “magnetic” powers and have been used in “gem therapy” to strengthen nerves, the adrenal glands, the spleen and muscle tissue.
