Five Great GIfts to Give – 11-6-12

Good Morning,

Today is a very important day!  It is time to exercise those civil rights and vote.  Whether your candidate or proposition wins, loses  or draws, it is a privilege that should be used.  Now let’s get to what you really came in here for, presents.

The Holidays are coming and wouldn’t it be nice to offer a gift that isn’t massed-produced or made in China?  Think Handmade this year, there are lots of fabulous artisans and crafters out there that offer quality and unique goods, made right here in America.

Painted Black Wine Glasses

Description: This is a set of two (2) hand painted black wine glasses. Each glass has been individually painted with black and white flowers and leaves. These unique goblets are great for any occasion or no occasion at all. They are so lovely they make any occasion a special occasion. These glasses would be a great wedding shower or wedding anniversary gift. Or perhaps a bridesmaid gift. I can paint them in any color you’d like.

These goblets were painted with non-toxic acrylic enamel so they are perfectly safe to use. I heat set the paint so it is quite durable. The manufacturer of paint states ‘top rack dishwasher safe’, I would highly suggest gentle hand wash, just as you would any other special piece you may have.

Stitch Markers – Just Like Mommy’s

DescriptionOne of the greatest pleasures we get as a knitter, is teaching the skill to the next generation. We love sharing what we know with the younger set. Many of us have young knitters in our own homes. The dilemma we face is, what do we do when they raid our favorite notions? Here is the perfect answer, our Just Like Mommy line of stitch markers. These fun little notions are inexpensive and created with the youngest knitters in mind! The perfect way to give her, or him, the tools they need to keep up with their new favorite hobby! No more worrying about your own favorite markers and hoping they will make it back to you.

These green and yellow markers are made of plastic beads, silver plated findings and will fit up to a size US9 needle.
They are pictured here with a size US6 needle.

 Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alcemists Vessel would like to wish  you a pleasant day!

These are also available in Precious Metal on a Custom Order Basis only.

New Items in the Shop

Two new items are up for sales this morning.

Unisex Necklace:  Antiqued Bronze jump rings are spun into a version of a Half Persian Chain Maille weave pattern, are connected by a larger ring at the center and a stylized Stag pendant drops from the larger ring.  About 20″ in total length including pendant.  This would be great for theme or cos-playing.  Aspiring “King Arthur’s” or “Guinevere‘s”,  this is for you!
These are cute, fun, really simple, and will add a splash of bright color to your outfits, and absolutely a must have fashion accessory this Spring and Summer season.  Department stores carry these for $12.99 to $15.99 a pair, we carry our hand made beauties for $5.00!  Natural Shell (surface-dyed) buttons are re-purposed into these adorable, native-chic, and colorful earrings, available in Blue (shown), Pink, Green and Gold (Sunshine Yellow), these are a limited selection item and once they are gone, they are gone.  The wire is wrapped around a mandrel, the button is then positioned and the wire allowed to “relax”, the wire is then manipulated by hand to form an organic spiral shape as decoration and to secure the button.  A Fish Hook ear wire is added to complete the pair.  Simple, uncluttered, and a fabulous accent for any Spring or Summer outfit.
Sterling Silver Plated Copper Jewelry Wire and Natural Shell (Blue) Earrings.

Natural Shell Buttons surface dyed in Pink, Light Green, Gold (Sunshine Yellow), the back of the shell is shown in comparison to the dyed surface face.

Thank you for stopping by we would like to wish you a pleasant week.
