etsy thread reply

 Reply to a thread on etc about babysitting and friend verses employe status.
Original post made reference to the fact she'd become friend with her 'baby sitter" and was disappointed that she had changed the venue of where she watched the posters child while work was being done in her home.

Reluctant from the beginning to enter here........

now that I read the entire rant I want to squeeze your nose off with my index and pointer finger and reverse that image to show you your own nose.

UGH!

She replied next comment....Um, hummm,
She didn't have a clue that she'd been dis respectful or that her demands for a in-home sitter/cleaning person were obtuse. 

crudeco etsy

My first year here on etsy I received numerous compliant laid-en convo's regarding my use of recycled leather from fellow vegan-minded folk. At first I didn't take much concern about the convo's. Until I was told that my shop would be boycotted by the 'team vegan folk'.

The handmade gift boxes I made and tried to sell on my first born etsy, were not selling. Thus, I developed a sock-puppet account of 'ecovintagevegan', account is still open. I was surprised at how fast the etsy vegan public accepted eco. Even with a declaimer clearly described in my policy's, that I was the shop owner of both entities - as required by etsy law.. I began to be greeted fondly by vegan and veggie minded folk, people who openly stated that they were vegan and how much they appreciated that I was too.

This month I moved all my inventory from eco to crudeco. I don't see the need to pretend to be something I'm not in order to shlepp my handmade products.......but I wasn't very pleased about being boycotted, receiving the threat of being boycotted or the idea that that action could possibly happen.

Sure I contacted all the admin powers that be. And was given the same 'statement' of fact to avoid 'said' boy-cotters convo's and not to exchange convo with them.

Mexican Agate Ear Rings - The Only One - T.O.O.

The Only One

In this listing one handsome "T.O.O. the only one" set of Mexican Agate ear rings. Slabbed and tumble polished in the traditional Crude Company style. These special little agates feature a brilliant orbicular egg in the center of each agate. There's just something very special about owning a pair of ear rings that no one will ever have a pair of.

These little beauties come from a vintage collection from the forties. Consecutively cut and slabbed, then tumbled to a mirror polish.

Sweet, elderly lady I met last fall collected rock with her father during the thirties and forties in Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona. Its not often I am able to discover vintage and antique collections that haven't been depleted or dismantled.

Every nodule that I've cut into has been spectacular, many completely take my breathe away. Sure, I'm a rock geek.....I own that.

These beauties have been wire-wrapped in 12 carat 22 gauge gold filled wire. Completed simply with golden French ear wires. The pair measure 1 1/4" long, and hang down from the ear lobe at 1 1/2". Made asymmetrically, not intended to be
matchy-matchy but they can be switched off to wear in alternating ears.

The last image is the reverse side of the agates.

These ear rings will arrive in a handmade gift box from my ecovintagevegan shop.
Sent Priority mail.

Natural Landscape - Tiger Iron - Pendant

In this listing, from my own lapidary shop, one fabulous thick Tiger Iron pendant, finished simply and crudely, but wrapped securely in 12 carat 20 gauge round gold wire.

Laid out nicely to show the natural landscape of the stone family of Tiger Eye and hematite. The pendant is completed with 2mm brown rubber strap and a vintage wooden button clasp, with a neck length of 16.5 inches.

The Tiger Iron weighs 100 grams, measures 3 1/8 inches wide, 2 1/4 inches tall and 5/8 inch thick. This isn't a wimpy stone. But hey! Your neck haul around tens pounds of head every day, what's another ounce or two?

"Tiger Iron can help one to become practical and of discrete mind, as well as more grounded. It can eliminate the “blues” and can bring brightness and optimism to the user. It also assists in providing insight to those issues which induce internal mental battles, delivering one from the “horns of dilemma” and the conflicts associated with willful pride. It further prompts the admiration for the pure and beautiful, allowing ones life, and ones passion for life, to open and to blossom.” Reference guide: Melody – Love Is In The Earth

The pendant will arrive in a handmade gift box, sent Parcel Post or First Class or if funds allow Priority Mail.

Vintage Rain Catcher

In this listing one original handmade metal rain catcher.

An item given to my father when he was a foreman for the Union Pacific Rail Road. Our family traveled on the rails from town to town and all over the Western states when I was a child. We lived on the aqua green "bunk car" which was my father office and the family home.

I don't recall a real elementary school until about the fourth grade, because we traveled on the cars during the spring and summer I would attend one room school houses shared with children of all ages and of Mexican and American Indian decent.

My father was gifted this "rain catcher" during those years. Honesty I have no idea how old it is. It hangs outside and when it rains the rain collects in the little cups for the birds to drink and play in.

It measures 18" tall to the top of the hanger, which loops easily over a gate or wooden fence. The widest portion at the bottom measures 17", the middle 13.5" and at the top arch 11".

Each animal has some remaining original paint, six assorted animals measure 5.5" wide and 3.5" tall. 9 remaining rain cups, 16 chime key holes/2 missing their keys. The garden ornament has rust and pitting in areas, but still many years of enjoyment for the new owner.

This "rain catcher" weighs just under 3 pounds and will be shipped Parcel Post in the United States, with insurance in a strong and sturdy card board box.
