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.
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
