Meet reclaimed NJ!

I met this most amazing artist a few years ago.  Ben Wurst proudly creates cherished objects from salvaged wood.  An avid outdoorsman, naturalist, artist and photographer, Ben puts it all together with his woodworking. From simple rustic ornaments to tables, they are all carefully crafted with masterful details.

Rather than trying to rewrite his story, I will just send to to read what he says very well in his Etsy shop.

If you love nature and discovering the wonder in simple treasures, you will love what Ben creates.

Spring Fever in New Jersey

Etsy NJ shops are having a Spring Fever sale! Lots of shops.. lots of great discounts! You can see all the shops and their sales here.
I'm highlighting just several of the really interesting shops that make handmade items in New Jersey. Who says we don't make things here anymore????
From beebdesigns, a very unique baby gift!
The Dragon's Den has really cool soaps, lotions and candles. I bought several for Christmas presents last year.
Who wouldn't love these cute turtle soaps?

Liesl's Made has really cool sewn and fabric creations. WE all get too many plastic shopping bags... and we try to reuse them. These bag holders are just great and very pretty too!

Shop local! Shop handmade. Keep your money close to home!

More great NJ artists

One of the rocks of our NJ team is Beachchik.  I just love this t-shirt she has made for little ones... where's mine??????  Take a minute to visit her shop and read her profile.  There are fun creations with the world in mind!

Beachchik will be at our Etsy NJ holiday show at Om Baby in PT. Pleasant on November 8.  Come and bring money.  There will be lots of great creations by New Jersey crafters.
