Indie Shop of the Week 8/26 - 9/02

We are starting a new feature here at Indie Gals which will be featuring one shop a week and highlighting items that we love from it.

This week’s SHOP OF THE WEEK is PCreative whose ingenuity, design and talent are not to be missed.  We were considering her for our daily finds until we looked at her collection which can be found on Etsy and 1000 Markets.  Her blend of color, gemstones, components and design command attention.  We know you’ll love her as much as we do.   If you stop by, please let her know you saw her here.  Kudos to this very talented artisan!

SO VERY VINTAGE: A LOOK AT INDIE VINTAGE PART 2

As promised here is the second part of A Look At Indie Vintage. We had thunder and lightening storms the last 4 days so we didn't get out Wednesdays or Fridays post. We've decided to combine them into todays post instead. Again, thank you to all our contributors (writers and stores alike). We appreciate your time, effort and talent in helping us put out our blog. If you haven't been featured as yet, please do not despair, we frequently go back through our responses and revisit stores we haven't used before.
