Wanna wear your Indie-ness on your sleeve, er, chest? Want to lend your support to the cause? Get a T-Shirt, hat, mug, or even a teddy bear or a flip camera that I doubt anyone will buy but I thought it was fun to put in the store anyway! Stop by our brand new store and see what's cooking. Which reminds me, we have an apron too! http://www.cafepress.com/indiespotlight
SHOPPING
If you are into quirky necklaces, speciality rings, and bibs, please check out http://www.laughterandlemondrops.com/autumn. If nothing else, the site itself is worth a visit. Such talent!
About the creator of Laughter and Lemondrops:
I enjoy the simple things in life like a sunrise, a spring rain shower, a gorgeous pink blossom tree, a good cup of coffee, hearing birds sing and seeing an elderly couple holding hands. I’m loving life and I'm in pursuit of living it to the fullest. Not everything in life comes easy, but when you work the hardest, that's when it's the most rewarding.
My passion is creating one of a kind pieces derived from bits and pieces of unique antique treasures I’ve picked up in my travels. I am in love with photography, creating art and antiquing. I create pins out of vintage yo yo pieces from grandmothers who never got to finish their quilts. My latest hot item is vintage cocktail rings designed from vintage jewelry. I love to embellish items like candles, reed diffusers, or boxes – simple things that need a little “vintage flare”. My thought is it is important to “think outside of the box” so every piece is a treasure unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. To me, that’s art – something that makes you feel something inside…that one little thing you just can’t live without. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of my creations as I do.
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".Erma Bombeck
