Things here at BJ HQ (Blue Jacaranda Headquarters) are a bit quiet, as I have just started working in a new job (editor at a quilting magazine; a dream job!). I do have some more Etsy purchases to show off though – since I decided to only buy handmade presents for my loved ones from now on, I often get to shop on Etsy! I bought this gorgeous necklace from TrincarUvas as a birthday present for my BFF in the Netherlands and was happy to hear that she loved it :-).

This ACEO-sized* Giclee print mounted on wood from Flor Larios Art was a present for my sister-in-law, who celebrated her first birthday as a mother. I thought she might appreciate it and luckily she did :-).

And this was a little present for myself ;-). I’ve had my eye on it for a while and after finding a new job I decided to buy it. It is an ACEO made from copper, created by Chris Zielski from Copper Leaf Studios. I love it!

*ACEOs are art cards; 2.5 x 3.5 inch or 64 x 89 mm. Read more about them here.

Have you bought any handmade treasures lately?

Take care,
Linda
