It's here! The Urban Journey Collection on Etsy and an awesome giveaway!

Whew!  While I am still going to be uploading more things all week long, the majority of my Etsy collection is finally ready to go on-line.
I guess this collection means  a lot to me because it's the first time I am really putting myself out there to live  a dream  of selling 90% hand-made. By me.  This whole wonderful process was full of firsts for me.  Using a model, shooting on location, and making what I wanted, working in a magazine format. It somehow all fell into place.
I picked the name Urban Journey because this collection for me is about  the road I am traveling on to create uncensored, and with complete abandon. We all have a journey inside of us, and sometimes instead of taking a train or car; the traveling is completely inward, and the destination is so much more personal.


The collection includes,

 jewelry 

upcycled clothing.


handmade

vintage 

art work and prints.

 Art dolls and Santos dolls, little gifties and so much more.

To give away some opening day love.....
I am giving away  a $75 gift certificate to my store to one winner  
and a 50% coupon code to another.

Leave a comment on this post to enter. For extra entries tweet, facebook, become a follower or do  a blog post about my collection. You could get up to 5 entries! Drawing closes next Monday the  18th.
The drawing is closed. Thank you.

To help inspire you, and take you along with me; I've created a small inspired book of some of my favorite pictures in a flip book format, inspired by my good friend, Jeanne.









Ladies, you rock! Thank you all for your wonderful support! 

Jen
