Get this miniature hamburger ring for only $9.00 $3.00! Deal ends on Saturday, June 15th or as long as supplies last!
Allow me to apologize for this uber-late warning. You have until tomorrow to purchase your favorite hair accessory from my web site or Etsy shop, as I will be deactivating them all for a craft fair on Saturday.
There’s a good chance many of them won’t be coming back.
I’ll also be taking most of my rings and post earrings with me.
There. Now you can’t say you weren’t warned.
Local Peeps: Wanna stop buy and take a peak at the new hair clips, headbands, and rings I haven’t even listed in my online shop yet? The show is on Saturday, June 15th, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 2720 E. Bruce, Spokane Wa 99217. There will even be some free food.
I was starting to feel like it had been too many months since I had participated in an Etsy-Beadweavers Team challenge. (Not since the January competition, to be exact.) So I was delighted when the most recent theme was announced: “June Bride.”
There was no question for my sense of inspiration that I needed to create a ribbon headband.
Inspired by all things vintage, I opted for a creamy ivory shade rather than stark white. This accessory glides along romantically with an air of garden party style.
The bead embroidery features ivory rose cabochons, and is stemmed with lines of matte toho beads that swirl with shades of light brown and deep gold.
The beaded design is attached to a silky ribbon for tying comfortable around your head in your favorite headband-wearing style.
While I obviously designed this hair accessory for brides-to-be, I also wanted it to be classic enough that a bride could wear it again casually after her big day, or someone might even fancy it who isn’t planning a wedding at all. Therefore, the piece is slightly less flashy than my usual rhinestone-adorned numbers.
As part of the Etsy-Beadweaver’s Team June Challenge, you can see this piece along with all of the other magnificent entries on the team blog. You are also able to vote for your favorite of the lot until June 15th at midnight.
Today’s featured handmade seller is Jennifer Tam from the squee-worthy Etsy shop, StarfishStrategies. You can lean more about Jennifer and her wild designs by reading the interview below. PLUS: Check out all of the easy ways you can win a free surprise ring at the bottom of the post!
Can you sum yourself up in 3 sentences? Give it a go!
I am a full time mommy now with a long history of working in social services/child welfare. I am eclectic, love to read and find guilty pleasure in french fries. I hope to teach my daughter how to dream and then reach out work hard and make her dreams real.

Tell us about what you sell:
I sell strange and unusual jewelery pieces…mostly necklaces for the weird in all of us. I am inspired by goth, kawaii, horror and kitsch. The pieces I create are statement pieces not for the weak at heart.
What is your favorite thing about creating?
It is my catharsis! I love it for its distraction, wonderment and fulfillment!

Where do you find your inspiration?
I draw inspiration from my youth, as a like totally tubular valley girl that was goth before it was cool, who ran the streets of Hollywood chasing one glam long hair band after another in my electric blue doc martins! Whew…is that the worst run on sentence ever…lol!
Do you have any advice for other sellers?
I wish…I am still trying to figure out how to be a good salesman! I would appreciate any advice myself.
