CLOSED Giveaway! Featured Favorites Friday: Aromatherapy from the Mountains

This week I had the pleasure of checking in with the amazing Gretchen and Thomas of Adirondack Aromatherapy, one of the fantastic members of the Witches of Etsy team. Aside from their products being beautiful, natural ingredients are very important to this pair of artisans. Gretchen is a published author in the subject of alternative medicine and a Certified Aromatherapist in an National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy approved program. Her 15+ years of education and experience is complimented by the 10+ years of experience her partner, Thomas, brings to the table.

All the oils at ADKAromatherapy are natural, completely derived from Mother Earth herself. I was not aware but there are many ’magical oils’ on the market are made in the laboratory. Gretchen believes and I agree that these oils might smell good but there is nothing that connects you to the earth. For Gretchen, aromatherapy is really about bringing the sacred into everyday routines and connecting to the natural world with all the senses. What a great philosophy!

This amazing pair is celebrating 1000 fans on facebook and two years of selling on etsy with a giveaway hosted here! Read down to the bottom for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to spend on soap, essential oils, amber and perfume oils, aromatherapy mists or whatever else strikes your fancy. They even offer custom fragrances! Best of luck!

Featured Favorites Friday: Awesome Trade Edition

One of my absolute favorite parts about the amazing sellers on etsy.com is trading with them and I have been very blessed.

One of my most recent trades was with a very talented tatter Karen from TattingForSpirit. I was first drawn to her amazing mini-medallions followed by the beautiful Goddess Within Knots and traded for a medallion for inner balance and a set of beautiful knots.
Her packaging was fantastic.

And the pieces are truly beautiful. I very much appreciate the time and effort that went into all of them, especially her research and choice of gemstones to include in the medallion.

I very much suggest you wander over to her shop or facebook and browse all of her creations including jewelry and chakra meditation pieces.

The next beautiful creation I'd like to show you was not originally a trade but simply a generous moment by a Witches Cottage team mate, Rachel from SpiralHawkStudio. Not only does this amazing seller have jewelry, wands, and worked glass they also have amazingly detailed and beautiful spiritual artwork. I expressed an admiration of this Goddess print and she just offered to send it to me (so I sent her a little biit extra in her order). It's amazing and I am so thankful!

You can find this great shop on facebook and pinterest.

Featured Favorites Friday: New Year's Balanced Chakras

Ok, so I tried to come up with some reason that chakras and balance related in any way to the new year... and I've got nuthin! Truth be told, I was wandering around etsy and the rainbows and deeper spiritual meanings really touched me and I wanted to share them with you.
