BlueBellaDonna is an eclectic mix of fine-art & nature photography; original arts & designs; upcycled and new jewelry; handcrafted herbal body, bath, & beauty products; natural home decor; and magical & mystical goodies.

If my shop were a brick & mortar building, walking through the door would bring you into a Victorian era art & apothecary shop.

>> The shop >> My shop would have a natural wood & exposed brick interior. There would be coverings of lace & velvet throughout; with an occasional crystal bead hanging in select spaces. Glitter would sparkle from every corner. Fresh flowers & herbs, and lots of green plants would abound the small, but spacious one room building. Customers would find me talking to botanicals, singing to my furry friends, drawing a new design, concocting a new herbal recipe, or delicately staging a floral still-life to photograph.

All customers would receive a delightful greeting from the shop's large & loving "pups", the mesmerizing kitties, and the friendly & curious "house" ghosts. A deliciously fragrant & tastefully pleasing cup of herbal tea would be offered to each & every customer. Music would be playing in the background, inviting your senses & soul to dance. If you listened very carefully, you may hear an elf humming a delightful tune.

The shop would be filled with whimsical & altered art works; soft, romantic floral photographs; colorful fine-art photo prints; heavenly scented & incredibly healing herbal body, bath, & beauty products; pretty feminine jewelry; lacey & flowery home decor; and magical treasures of potions, amulets, and nature infused "goodies".

My shop would be comforting, relaxing, and a delightful escape from this everyday modern world.

When you browse my shop here on Etsy, take a moment to imagine what a wonderful, creative, enchanting world you entered....

All my products are created & crafted with TLC (tender loving care). My magical, natural, and herbal items are also crafted with a bit of magic; and are infused with positive & natural energies to provide the benefits set forth. Also, my herbal body, bath, & beauty products are created using pure, organic, and natural ingredients.

My shop is dedicated to creating artworks that are colorful, whimsical, dreamy, romantic, a bit Victorian, Renaissance, and shabby chic; and to crafting products that are healing, helpful, and magical & mystical. All items in my shop are created & crafted by me; photo prints are signed, original artworks & designs are OOAK, jewelry designs are diverse, and herbal & natural/magical products are made upon ordering, with a focus on each individual order for freshness & effectiveness.

>> Me >> I was born a creative, nature & animal loving, free-spirit. From a very young age I was drawing, painting, writing poetry & stories, experimenting with botanicals, singing, dancing, playing in rain puddles, chatting with trees, "unclogging" streams from debris (my very early 'save the Earth' roots), obsessed with the paranormal, and learning culinary skills from my Grandmother.

My Grandmother encouraged me to further my skills, expand my knowledge, and experiment with my talents. She praised my artwork (even the most ridiculous), happily posed for me to photograph her, delighted me with ghost stories, introduced me to tons of various wildlife critters, joined me in meditations, shared my secrets, and handed me my first herbal book (Jethro Kloss' "Back To Eden") for my 17th birthday.

Today her Spirit still encourages me to continue doing what I love; working with herbs, photographing nature, painting what I "see", writing tales & poetry, and engrossing myself in jewelry creation.

When I'm not crafting, creating, designing, or dreaming, you will find me spending a lovely afternoon in my enchanting yard taking in the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the magic!! With my furry best friends [and sometimes my Grandchildren], at my side, of course.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or special requests. Thanks for visiting, and be sure to tell a friend (or two).

♥ Peace, Donna
