Handmade Trove: Crochet Barefoot Sandals and Blue Toenail Polish

I still blame high school for stunting my growth. I haven't grown since 7th grade and my feet are the same size as my mom's, who's a good 4 inches taller than me. Hence I'm slightly self-conscious about the ungraceful length of my feet compared to my body, especially now that I belly dance without shoes so often.

Barefoot Sandals by Golden Hands DesignBut thanks to Cathy of Golden Hands Design, I now possess a pair of crochet barefoot sandals to accessorize my feet when dancing on the beach. I chose her "Niagara Falls" design to match a blue sequined hip scarf that reminds me of the ocean. The same day her fabulous foot thongs arrived, I also received the 32 non-toxic nailpolishes I won from Madison Street Beauty's nail lacquer giveaway. Continuing with the water theme, I painted my toenails with the "Island Cove" shade first. The handmade creations actually make my feet feel pretty!

Disclaimer: I received these free sandals as a thank you gift for hosting a free fashion giveaway. If you think your handmade creations would harmonize with my whimsical ramblings, learn how to sponsor a giveaway here.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting. She has customers who are still wearing creations that are over 10 years old! She's been selling jewelry offline for years, but only recently began...

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Eugenie Wu for submitting the randomly-chosen 799th entry. Rica Jewels will email you within 24 hours with instructions on how to claim your prize. The winds of March are making me wonder why I haven't learned to properly braid my hair yet. Not only would my tresses get less tangled, but there are so many pretty patterns available online now. The only braid style I ever mastered was how to make friendship bracelets back in the 1980s. Daniela of Rica Jewels offers a much more intricate braided bracelet called the Kusma Bracelet. The mixed metal bracelet is made with silver, bronze and copper. The beautiful bracelet is 7" long and 0.4" width and can be bent gently on the edges to better fit the winner's wrist. Yes, you read that right.
