Applicious!
With the holidays upon us, how can one not think of sweets n treats? Here for your viewing (and buying) pleasure is a shop I just had to share. Here is a "taste" of some of the delicious treats and creations they have to offer. I introduce to you...
Candy, Chocolate, Apples, Wedding Favors, and Gift Baskets
********************
Where you'll find treats like these Tiffany Blue and White Chocolate Covered Apples
or these Fall Theme Chocolate Covered Oreos.
These Lime and Lime and Teal Drizzled Chocolate Covered Twinkies are sure to bring a smile.
These Large Chocolate and Chopped Peanut Dipped Pretzels are sure to please!
Last, but not least are these wonderful Chocolate Covered Cherries double dipped in semi-sweet Belgian chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate.
Now I can't show you all of The Atomic Apple's fine treats, so you'll have to stop by to learn more and to see all they have to offer. I bet you'll be glad you did!

A Nuckin' Futs Knitter
My first featured Artisanista of July is one whom I've known for a while. In fact, Aida was one of the first Etsy people I'd met shortly after opening my shop. I first met her as owner of Etsy shop "Oddity86" and through blogs and chats in the chat rooms became cyber pals of sorts. Hailing from Allentown, PA, Aida is better known to us in Etsyworld as...
Aida specializes in OOAK handmade knitted works like this...
This lovely Chunky Blue Denim Slouchy that 80% acrylic, 20% wool. It measures 30 inches around and 8 inches long.
She carries a variety of wonderful knitted accessories like this Spring Pink Pouch...
and this awesome Wooden Bead Purse Set.
Not only do her creations consist of knitted goods, but have a look at this OOAK Shopping Bag Wristlet...
and Shopping Bag Coin Pouch. Cute Cute Cute!
One of my faves is this Pink Purple Chunky Knit Hooded Scarf...
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
From Coffee Cozy's...
to an awesome variety of Fingerless Gloves and Warmers...
you find that Aida's assortment of One of a Kind creations truly represents "HandMade".
So stop by her shop...
her Blog...
and Twitter...
To inquire about her works or to just say hi!

OOAK
While browsing shops in the Crazy Advertisers team discussions I came across a couple very cool shops I just had to share with you. Fun and out of the ordinary, but mostly, hand/homemade. Firstly, I'd like to introduce you to...
Dani
of
Dani's creative works include the transformation of old forgotten and age worn vintigicities like...
This beautifully repainted
Red Rose Double Dresser
One of my faves is this one of a kind "Garden Chic" dresser.
Perhaps and lovely matching Cottage Dresser...
and Cottage Nightstand are more your liking?
Not only will you find Dani's awesome creative works, but you'll find somethings I truly adore...
Vintagicities like...
this antique glass and brass door knob...
and some of my all time faved...
vintage Militaria!
Now you know I can't spoil the fun by showing you all Dani has to offer, so you just have to stop by to see her one of a kind creative works and wonderful vintage goods. I hope you'll stop by!!
******************************
Here I introduce you to...
Mary Anne
of
Mary Anne's personalizes her books by incorporating your child's name and image into any one of a number of her wonderful tales.
Imagine the look on your child's face when you open...
and began to read about your child and the "Land of the Dinosaurs" where he or she is featured as the main character.
How delightful and special your little princess will feel when she sees...
and reads that she is that little princess in the storyline.
I'd have to agree with Mary in that...
"Any child would be delighted and feel so special when receiving one of these fun fantasy storybooks in which he/she is the main character! Not only will your child be surprised to see his/her name and other personalized info inserted throughout the storyline, but also to see his/her photo superimposed into all the colorful story illustrations."
I do hope you'll stop by Fun Storybooks to see her other wonderfully creative works.
