Friday Finds: Woodland Wallets and Coin Purses

Delaware has had a bumpy week, thanks to an unlikely earthquake and now Hurricane Irene twirling toward us! In the midst of nature's madness, a goblin darted in and snatched my custom dragon wallet. I didn't lose much cash, but I did have to get two new credit card numbers and a duplicate driver's license (complete with horrendously retaken photo that looks like Bizarro World version of me with a tan.) What's worse, I went to see about designing another duct tape wallet featuring my art - and the shop has disappeared from Etsy!!

Luckily, fellow FAE Kimberly of Night Lily Design heard my cry of dismay and came to my rescue. She has offered to sew me a protective card holder with a fabric transfer of my Steampunk Unicorn, like she did my Winter Fairy bag. That'll be sure to ward off any thieves.

Now all I need is a separate pouch to carry emergency cash. I got a bit dizzy searching through the unending forests of Etsy and just couldn't make a decision. There are just so many enticing choices, including the wonderful woodland wallets below. I may try my hand at making my own paper wallet instead - I used to be a master at handling clear packaging tape back in my penpalling days of swapping slams and friendship booklets.

    Sorry to hear all your bad luck of late. If you believe in the law of 3's, then at least you are done!! (Quake, Hurricane, Purse, heheh)

    I'm sure Kimberly's design will come out fabulous!

    Know what you mean about those photos, sorry you had to endure. Hope Irene doesn't make things really bad for the entire east coast, stay dry as best as you can. There's that really old song, "Goodnight Irene" that probably wouldn't help, though. Keep safe.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
