What a Girl Wants

By D'Arsie Manzella of Mamacita Beadworks

It's a new month and once again I've rounded up

some new goodies for you to discover

from my personal list of favorites on Etsy.

I am constantly amazed

at the beautiful handmade beads

and components that you can find on this site.

For me it's existence has changed the way I look at buying supplies.

I almost never step into a craft store unless I'm in a hurry for some headpins.

Shopping for handmade was never easier!!

Let me introduce my new loves...

display proudly in my sacred space.
