oh mama!

I blogged a few weeks ago about my mama's new Etsy shop and lots of you commented that you liked her work.

Well, the enabler in me is not sorry at all [:-)] to let you know that mama has cut her prices on almost everything in her shop. Rather quite a lot, actually.

Each necklace is one of a kind and now they're so much more affordable, it's kind of nuts. This amethyst and yellow druzy necklace? It's now just $45. That's crazy talk.

Mama gets the pendants and other elements from a variety of craftspeople in Africa and Asia. Buying one of my mama's necklaces helps to support these artisans and their extended families. Which I think is seriously cool.

Here are a few of my other favorites from mom's shop:









And if you buy that last turquoise one, don't be surprised if you see me wearing its sister. I asked mama if she could find another pendant like this one and she's making me my own version of this baby. She says it looks chunky, but is really almost light as air. The pendant is actually dyed yak bone! I can't wait for it to come!

I'm coveting one of the pieces. If it's still there come my birthday in September, I'll splurge and get myself a treat :-)
 
Those pendants are great, I wish I had a few in my beading stash.

Your mom does beautiful work!
 
Wow! These make me wish I wore jewelry! (too many physical issues :( )
 
It's a good thing today's payday. I had to stop my knitting blog reading and go buy my daughter a birthday present. Beautiful stuff!
 
awesome looking products!
 
vry beautiful!
 
Those are so pretty! My Mother makes jewelry too. Your Mother is very talented!
 
Beautiful necklaces! And it looks like the turquoise one your mother is making for you will look stunning with the sweater you are wearing in the previous picture :)
