Christmas in July on Etsy! Featured Shop: Exaltation

Today's featured shop from Etsy is Exaltation!

Exaltation is a store full of handmade, wire word & symbol jewelry. The artist behind it is Jen who actually wrote me to ask if I'd consider featuring her shop. After checking out her very cool necklaces, how could I say no? Besides, we Jens have to stick together! She's offering 15% off her shop starting on 7/12 and lasting until 7/22. Many shops on Etsy are going with those dates (myself included) as those are the 'official' Christmas in July dates this year. Hey, who are we to say no to customers being driven to our doors?

I took a browse through Jen's shop and found some pieces that really fit me. Seeing as that's the aim of her creations, I do believe she succeeded. :)

Heart Necklace in Silver Wire

I love the sweet simplicity & grace of this necklace. I can easily see just putting it on when I need to quickly grab a necklace out of the box. It's just...pretty. I like that.

Caffeine Molecule Necklace

I can't imagine why I was drawn to this necklace... ;) The caffeinated geek part of me absolutely adores it. She has several different molecules & geeky fun necklaces and they're all perfect.

Merde Necklace

I took French for 7 years in school, and I laughed when I came across this one, possibly startling a few people in the cafe...oops... I love necklaces with a sense of humor or private joke, and this is a good one. For those unfamiliar with the French language, it's the elegant, French way of saying 'sh*t'. Hehehehehe...as Jen says, "Because cursing in French is like wiping your ass with silk."

All of her necklaces come with chain length options and you can even get them in colored wire for a nominal extra fee. She has over 100 to choose from so grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and check them all out.

So, to summarize today's shop of the day:

Exaltation
unique, affordable, expressive, custom gifts
Entire store marked 15% off starting July 12th, no coupon code needed!

Go, shop, find pretty things, and tell Jen that Caffeinated Papercuts sent you! <3

Christmas in July on Etsy! Featured Shop: CharmsbyDiana

Welcome to Day 2 of our Christmas in July on Etsy shop specials! With a random mouse-click, today's featured shop is Charms by Diana.

I had never visited Diana's shop before, but right away I was taken in by her lovely banner and gorgeous bridal jewelry! Wow!

White twisted pearl 18 inch Swarovski pearl necklace

That necklace is absolutely stunning. If I were marrying my husband again, I'd probably put it on the short-list of what to wear. Her shop doesn't stop there, though. She also has adorable wine glass charms...I might have already added 2 to my favorites. Good thing, too, as they're Buy One Get One Free for her Christmas in July sale!

Nautical Wine Glass Charms, Set of 8

How cute are these?? Admittedly I'm quite partial to the beach, especially since I'm packing for our vacation there right now! (Gotta love the power of scheduling your blog posts.)

For a second pair, I'm totally thinking of these pretty, classic Christmas ones. I do so love Christmas!

Christmas Wine Glass Charms, Set of 8

But her store doesn't end there. She also has little cupcake toppers! Eeek!

Cake Topper Cupcake Parasol Set of 12 in Baby Blue

Seriously, how cute would these look at a baby shower? She has colors for various occasions and even does custom orders.

So, to summarize today's shop:
