Silv, if this is inappropriate to post here, just let me know and I'll delete it!

I know that there are a TON of talented people here, who do a wide variety of artistic things. With the winter holiday coming, I'm trying to plan out gift ideas for my friends and family, and I want to  make a lot of gifts, as well as to support other small businesses and individuals who craft awesome stuff by buying from them instead of big corporations & chain stores.

So! I had the idea that anyone who does anything that would qualify as a purchasable gift (be it a product, like home decor, body products, etc, or physical artwork, like portraits, stickers, etc) could make a post in this thread. Then, we could keep track of what each of us does, our individual styles, what's available, etc. And we can help each other out by purchasing from each other, or bartering/trading products.

I know others have individual threads for this sort of thing, but even so, throw a post up in here so that we can have it all in one handy-dandy place!

And, if you see something you're interested in, I'd say stick to PMing, so that we can keep this main thread uncluttered. Also, we can just edit our posts to show what's new and stuff. :) Sound good?

So, here's a handy-dandy form that each person can fill out to keep things organized and show off your stuff :)

Country: USA
Do you ship internationally?: Yes
What you sell: Treasure candles & candle accessories, lotion candles, dreamcatchers, wineglass charms

Any other info: The treasure candles contain trinkets (charms, semiprecious stones, etc) that you find as you burn them. Lotion candles are made with soy wax, vitamin E, olive oil, and other such ingredients and melt at a very low temperature, so the melted wax can be rubbed into your skin like lotion or massage oil!
Custom work (your choice of colors, scents, etc) is available!
