Holiday Shopping Guide part 16

With the Holiday season fast approaching that means were getting to the last shops on our Holiday Shopping Guide, Once that is over I will be hosting a Large giveaway worth $40+ dollars & you will have many ways to enter. Since it is November already & I would like to put up the giveaway early enough for everyone to have a chance to enter I will be doing double & Tripple feature posts. Keep an eye out for discount codes & Codes for freebies. We are getting VERY close to the date of the Big Giveaway only a few more reviews to go!

Today in Honor of our last giveaway of $45 worth of beautiful jewelry (Last day to enter is November 13th Click here To Enter I will be reviewing Three shops that offer some very unique jewelry.

First I will be reviewing tesorojewelry.etsy.com Who makes beautiful rings,bracelets,necklaces & earrings.

Here is what I got to review:


Packaged arrived pretty fast & was well packaged,She does a great job with communication to make sure you get a ring that fits your finger, This ring is beautifully made & does not irritate the skin.It is just enough "POW" to give your out fit a bit of flare but not enough to draw those "what was she thinking" looks, After you put it on you can't even tell your wearing the ring it isn't bulky at all which is a major plus. Want a custom wire wrapped ring? This is the place to go.

Second I will be Reviewing jessejanes.etsy.com She makes tons of scrabble pendants,key chains,& bobby pins & can do custom work.

Here is what I got to review:

*Note I got an orange one just like this but this was too gorgeous not to post here

I got this extremely fast & it was packaged so nothing would smash the adorable little pendant waiting inside.Pendant looks great,Thin line of diamond glaze no extra on the sides,all edges are smooth & there are no bubbles or bumps.Pendant came on a nice sterling silver ball chain which is a plus for those who don't have anything to put their pendants on.Pendants are professionally put together & look nice would make the perfect gift for anyone on your list.use Promo Code "HOLIDAY09" for a 15% off discount on Your total order before shipping

Third I bring you a very unique shop with a very sweet shop owner, kmcgiveron.etsy.com

I got to review:

*The one above is my favorite from their store I got to review their cracked bark pendant & flower power

Package arrived fast,each pendant was packaged & wrapped all by itself for protection.Pendants are adorable thick enough that if dropped they won't break.Pendants are very well made & have a very nice color to them.Pendants easily fit onto any type of chain or cord you might have & has a small hole for if you want to put a larger ring on it to hang off of a larger chain.Looking for a cute unique pendant? Come have a look at this shop it is great all different colors & shapes for you to choose from.

A little History on Halloween
We all now call October 31st Halloween that is what we have known it as for years & years,but have you ever thought about if it was always called Halloween or how it all started? It wasn't always about costumes & candy, Halloween has origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain.The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half",& is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year" The celebration has some elements of a festival of the dead. The ancient Gaels believed that the border between this world & the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through.The family's ancestors were honored & invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes & masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit & thus avoid harm.Bonfires were a large part in celebration during this time,building two bonfires next to each other & then walking between the two was believed to "cleanse" you.

Now onto a bit of Halloween fun,I am in a lovely BNR (Click here to visit) Where we play games,have scavenger hunts & More. Recently we did a Halloween version of Secret Santa called "Secret Ghouls" where those who wanted to be part of it signed up & got assigned a partner to send a gift to. I received Mine yesterday from my BNR member PnsNNedls.etsy.com I received this very cute hand painted Skull

Pumpkin Carving:
he American tradition of carving pumpkins preceded the Great Famine period of Irish immigration & was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 1800s.It is also said the Jack o lantern was carved & placed on door steps to light the way home for parted loved ones,whos spirit could visit home on All Hallows Eve

My family & I went out this week & bought our pumpkins for carving This is how they turned out:

From Left to right: My Daughters (we carved it for her this is her first Halloween),My fiances, & Mine
