Personalized Stylish KeyRings

We, especially as girls, seem to feel a need to jazz up our keychains with cute little dodads . Lets face it, those keys are just begging for help! But as time passes we keep adding and adding and before we know it, we have a huge grotesque collection of things that were suppose to make it cute, but really just made it a heavy burden...literally. I guess on one bright side, it could knock out an assailant with one fell throw..... if you can even lift it by then that is.
So I have come up with a solution. Make your keys cute to begin with, and there no need to keep adding! So I have made adorable Key Chains that are unique, fashion savy and fun! They are personalize with what ever single word you want. Your name? Something sassy? Favorite word? etc. The silver mini dog tag gives back drop to the word, and the beautiful beads give it that special touch.

Hand Painted Pendants

These are the latest of my Jewelry designs. These are my hand painted glass tile pendants. They turned out super cute!


They will be selling on www.buggage.etsy.com soon!

Custom Kitchenware

In general, we tend to look at our kitchen essentials as merely useful. Often times they are not more then basic in their design, and if you do buy something a little more snazzy, the price can be of heart attack proportions. But why must our bake ware and kitchen essentials be boring and mundane? Can they not be artistic, elegant and eye catching, at an affordable price? With my new glassware line, I aim to achieve that. My designs are permanent heat set/time set,oven safe, and non-toxic(though I keep all my painted surfaces away from areas of food contact, for extra measure and peace of mind). Perhaps most importantly, if you are like me and hate washing dishes by hand, the best feature is that they are dishwasher safe!
The pictures shown above are examples of some of the work that I have done on my OWN kitchen materials. If you are interested in my work, we have a few different options to follow. First, you will let me know what kind of design you want. I will sketch up a design pattern to your approval, and once we are on agreement, we move on to the next step. Second, we set up a reserved/custom listing for you on my Etsy website (www.buggage.etsy.com), where I will list the total cost of the project you have in mind, and the sketches of the design you want. Third, you buy the listing, and we enter into agreement on it.( I require upfront purchasing on custom items, before I begin work on said item) From here you have a few options. You can either send me the items from your kitchen that you wish me to customize, OR send me a link to the item online. If you send me your personal kitchen items, I will customize them and send them back to you. If you send me a link to the item, I will buy them with the money from the payment agreement, design it, then send it out to you. ( Or if you don't have anything in mind, I can go to the local store, and find an item meeting your payment options.)

I typically charge 30 dollars on top of the price of the item (if you want me to purchase a 40 dollar blender from the store, I charge 30 dollars on top of the price, so your final price would be 70.) I figure shipping into my final prices, not on top of it. So what you see is what you get. Depending on the item you wish me to customize, the size and weight, and the amount of materials I have to use, the price may vary. However my main goal throughout my business is to ensure affordability, as well as quality. Therefore I try to keep my pricing as low as possible. :0)

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Buggage, Creating Everyday Elegance, at Affordable Pricing!

As a stay at home mother of four young homeschooling children, and living on a single income, I have learned the important value of quality, and affordability. I believe that just because you do not have a lot of money, does not mean you can not own, or create, things of value and beauty. I enjoy being able to make unique, specialized and custom creations, and sharing them with others. 80% of the joy that comes from creating something, is being able to revel in the joy that your work brings to others.And honestly, with four young children at home, creating my crafts in the snatches of free time I find, has become my guilty pleasure of sanity. :0)

I just opened my own Etsy shop, at www.buggage.etsy.com. I make jewelry of all kinds. I am in the process of starting my hand painted glassware line. I make unique and elegant key chains, stained glass items, wood worked items, and so much more.  I hope as my business grows, that you grow to love my items, as much as I do.
