Local Artist at Truely Unique
Hello Everybody,
I am excited to announce that my business, Natural Elements Artisan Soap, is now online at Etsy.com. Etsy provides a space where people who create handmade items can market them directly to potential buyers for a small fee. Etsy offers many of the popular features of Ebay including specialized searches and paypal payment options.
Please check out my storefront and items for sale at http://naturalelementssoap.etsy.com . Creating an account on Etsy is free.
Those of you who have tried my soaps could help my online business grow by making a mock purchase (or a real purchase) and leaving a positive comment about the product on my site. Hearting my site as a favorite (a process described at Etsy) is also helpful.
To make a mock purchase that keeps my seller’s fees as low as possible, choose to buy a single item (any item you like). Select “Other” as your payment at checkout. If you live out of state and select “Other” as your payment option, I will know that this is a mock purchase, but an email letting me know you have done this would be great as well. Email me at hbest@kent.edu or soaplady@naturalelementssoap.com
Natural Elements Soap is dedicated to providing you with high quality 100% natural artisan products that thrill your senses, ease your mind, benefit your body, and nurture your spirit. Our products are handcrafted in small batches with care and respect for people and planet. We use 100% natural ingredients.
It is a joy to offer you earth-friendly natural products made from our own vision, hands, and hearts.
Please tell you friends about Natural Elements Artisan Soap. Contact me if you would like me to send you some business cards to distribute.
Thanks to each of you for your friendship and support.
Regards,
Heather

Greetings,
Just a little about myself. I learned at an early age to work with metals and wood, my Dad taught me and was a great teacher and he firmly believed in the "Do it yourself attitude”.
About 20 years ago I began exploring different religions, beliefs and faiths. Pagan beliefs really caught my attention, more so than any other. In studying, I learned of the many tools used in the craft. So being a "do it yourself person" I set out on making the tools I needed to practice my craft. Soon I had a complete tool box. I was amazed by the feeling I got from them, and the awesome power that could be felt from the tools. Stones, wood and different metals have such unique energies.
The tools and various items made by myself are from the heart. I do it to help others have the tools needed for their craft. I make all my items out of the most natural materials I can find; many times they come straight from the field or woods. I love the craft and hope you find my tools and supplies full of the energy that you seek from them. Also I can make custom items, Altars, knives (Athames), Chalices and other things, don't be afraid to ask. I will give you an honest answer if I can make it.
Thank you, and Truely Unique, for this way of serving you.

My Passion for making beaded bracelets started about 5 years ago when I could not find bracelets in the stores over 7 inches in length. There was not much offered in the plus sizes. I began making beaded bracelets for myself and it became an addicted hobby. It has also become a wonderful stress reliever and offers me some alone time. The greatest joy and happiness I receive is when others are so happy with their new creations for themselves or for others. I also make bracelets for children, and pets.
Dream Catcher * or * Life Filter
By
Wind Song Design
Wind Song Design consists solely of two women. Crazy Wind is a life-long resident of Wilson County; and with her niece Rayne Song, they have created a traditional craft with a modern twist.
The Dream catcher is a traditional Native American tool used to protect the mind while you sleep. The web traps negative thoughts and energies, while positivity, truth, and wisdom are able to navigate through the narrow center and reach the mind of the dreamer. Then, they trapped negativities were burned away by the morning sun.
But, just because you are awake does not mean that the world is not throwing ideas and energies your way. And, a dream is more than the whimsical musing of your subconscious mind. Dreams are our hopes and aspirations, and this need filtering too. The Dream Catchers made by Wind Song Design would more accurately be called “Life Filters”. Made with all natural materials, each one is different – just as every life is unique.
Hang one in a place that you are sure to see it every day, and may you be inspired. And most of all… “May all your dreams come true”.
Mystic Design
Michelle of Mystic Design will be doing Henna at Truely Unique.
After 17 years of working in a tattoo studio, developing carpel tunnel syndrome made it impossible to tattoo any longer. The passion for body art lingered. So taking the knowledge of that art and applying it to henna came natural. The all natural Henna paste used is her own formula and it is sold in Truely Unique’s Henna Kit. (Safe for all ages.)
Temporary, and painless are just two of the reasons Henna maybe something you’d like to try. Designs are $5.00 and up. Henna can be placed on any part of the body, but it does better when applied to the palm of hands and the soles of the feet. Designs can last up to six weeks, depending on the conditions to which you expose your skin.
Mystic Design will make an appointment with you to do your Natal Birth Charts and Numerology. Come by and find out more information.
Calling for an appointment is better, but walk-ins are always welcome. Got any questions? Just call or email.

Grey Eye Oak
Grey Eye Oak began in the woods behind my great grandfather's house. Me and my husband maintain the woods I grew up playing in as a child trimming down the overgrowth that my family had neglected. After a days work I would have my little cousins ( 3-12 years old ) come over a play. One of the things we would do is take the piles of brush and such and make wands, staffs, crowns and such like my great grandfather did for me. Well that lead way for us making staffs as Christmas presents. As we would make the staffs I would tell stories of my great grandfather and all the strays ( animal and people ) he and my great grandmother took care of . Eventually we began Grey Eye Oak in honor of the huge Oak that has become such a member of our family and my great grandfather's steel grey eyes. All of our wares come from my family property that has been in our family for over a hunderd years and has seen 5 generations of family, friends, and animals ( my grandfather was a firm believer that animals were part of the history of a family ). We hope you enjoy our creations as much as we enjoyed making them and for giving me an opportunity to keep my great grandfather's memory and his land alive.
Thanks,
The Grey Eye Oak Family
Beth, Chuck, Baby Katt and the animals

I have been working with polymer clay for a few years now. It has become not only a hobby but my own private world of creativity. My daughter and I spend nearly every afternoon working with our clay and playdough to bring our imagination to life. Its great to be able to share my creativity with everyone and I hope you enjoy the finished products as much as I did making them. WWW.etsy.com/shop/leezaD
