Familiar Friday #1

Familiar Friday is going to be a new weekly entry where I feature shops I find through the Shop Local feature of Etsy. Since I live in a small town in northeast Georgia, I'm going to be searching small and big cities that are near me. Some will be as close as a few minutes and others might be as far as an hour away, but they will be local to where I live in Georgia. Hope you all enjoy this new addition to my blog :)

Daisy Doodles - pet portraits - Athens, GA




















Carlton Art Factory - pysanky and pysanky jewelry - Carlton, GA


















Laurel Hill - handcrafted silver jewelry - Athens, GA

Feature Friday #2

This week I have chosen Carlton Art Factory.

I personally know this husband and wife team because I went to school with their son. They are from my local state of Georgia and have lots of really unique items to offer. From original sculptures to pysanky art pins, earrings, and ornaments, there is always something really cool to purchase.

Just in time for the holidays, this red reindeer egg ornament is the perfect edition to your Christmas tree decorations! There are a variety of designs available for this unique ornament and it would make a lovely gift for anyone this holiday season. If you aren't the ornament type, don't forget to check out the Carlton Art Factory etsy shop for other cool gift ideas, there is a lot to choose from!
