I am continually amazed at the talent that exists in Etsy – Your place to buy and sell all things handmade!

One of my favorite shops – who I have ‘hearted’ is Suzies Armoire. Why is Susan Basista one of my favorites? I won a prize from her shop in July for the HAF Team Treasure Hunt. Someone had tweeted about the treasure hunt and I just had to see what it was about. I played and I won the prize!

Says Susan:

Recently I’ve gotten into beading and creating beaded bookmarks and phone charms. For now, that’s my focus. As the kids get a little older, and I have more time (yeah, right!), I may branch out into something else or get back to the quilting I love. That’s why I’ve decided to call my Etsy shop “Suzie’s Armoire,” so that I don’t pigeonhole myself with a name. Plus, I’ve got a ton of stuff in my craft closet!

Susan’s shop also has quilted items – they are so cute! This is a mini quilt with an ocean theme.

The next picture is one of Susan’s beaded bookmarks – I won one of those! – of course she has all types of themes, and they make terrific stocking stuffers. I’m saving the one I won for one of my grandchildren.

Susan also has one of the Shepherd’s Hook book marks as well – decorated with what she calls her Cha Cha Charms!
