I am so blessed to be able to tell you about one of my little sister's. (punctuation?) (little sisters grow into the most incredible women). She has an etsy and I asked her if it was okay to list it here on the site because her pins are sooo beautiful. www.HearthsideCottage.etsy.com I believe they still fall under the category of "hand-made"...she finds the images on all sorts of vintage papers and it's a great deal of work to clean up the images & prep everything for her awesome pins. Please take a look...they're magnificent and all-around cute; if you get the chance to know my sister, you'll know they are painstakingly & lovingly made. She is sooooo busy with her 2 young children, her leadership responsibilities with M.O.P.S., her wonderful husband and their very hectic lives, she just hasn't had the chance to sit down and register on the site herself...it'll happen, just not today. So I'm listing the etsy, knowing the farmgirls here will love her art. Help me show my love and appreciation for my sister by taking a look please. Thanks so much! Chandra

Hi tribalcime, Thank you for your generous offer! While I'd love to give you her email address, I sortof didn't get it...oops! I know it's listed in the contact area of the etsy though. That'd probably be your best bet. Chandra

Aimee, as far as I know it's just the buttons for now, but Jennie has mentioned magnets... She is a new member here on the site; hasn't been to the Welcome Wagon yet and may not post much or respond to emails for quite some time as she's a very busy mom and so on... Her username here on MJF's site is Hearthside Cottage. Perhaps if you click on it and email her, she can communicate her plans better than I can. I'm sure she'll be thrilled by your interest. Thanks - Chandra

Hi Bonne it's me! Thank you soooo much for the order! It was so fun to send them to you and I appreciate it so much!
I'm so glad you liked the buttons and the cards! I had lots of fun choosing the images for both! There are so many beautiful vintage images out there that hardly anyone sees! I love to look at the old post cards and pick out small details that might be in a corner or off to the side, and then make that the focus of a button! Those artists were so amazingly talented, and some never saw recognition in their lifetimes! Isn't that sad? I love to celebrate those lovely images of the past...
Hey have you been up to Greeley lately? I just went to a craft show up here and was a bit dissapointed that lots of the things there weren't truly hand made. You know, racks and racks of magnetic notepads and pre-fab stuff. There were a few crafters there who clearly made their own products and I tried to tell them that I noticed that! I love how much hand made is celebrated here on MJF! It feels so good to buy things that someone out so much heart into!
Thanks again for your interest in my shop, and for a wonderful experience in general!
Hope to actually meet you sometime- we live so close to each other!
Happy crafting!
Jennie

Lisa,
Thank you for visiting my shop and for the lovely compliment! It is fun to work with vintage images! I'd love to see your vintage Christmas images! Are there any you'd like to have on a button or magnet? Maybe we could do a trade! I'd like to give you something for sharing the Christmas images! Just email me here if you are interested! I'd LOVE to see what you make! I'll go visit your blog!
Have a great day and thank you for the interest!
Blessings, Jennie

Aimee,
Thank you for the compliment, and for checking out my shop! ! I'm going to add magnets to the store soon. I know some folks might prefer them over buttons.
Actually, I also love to work with polymer clay and I am just about to try pendants! I found an awesome technique that I can't wait to try! I'll post and let you know how they come out and you can give me suggestions or feedback on what can be improved, if you'd like. I'll be doing that soon.
What kind of pendants are you looking for? There are lots of great artists on etsy who sell them! You could do an item search for them on etsy and I bet you'd find tons!
Thanks for the interest!
Jennie
