Etsy Finds & Faves: 02. 18. 11

Happy Friday (and upcoming weekend) everyone! Do you have any special plans that you are looking forward to? It is finally warm and sunny here and I'm sure I'll be spending as much time outdoors as my light-sensitive eyes can handle...maybe finally getting my hands on book 2 in The Hunger Games series (have you read those books yet? Book 1 was SO good)...and working on some homework for the local photography class I just started yesterday (I finally know what an F-stop is—hooray)! Sounds like the perfect weekend to me! Whatever your plans are, have fun and I'll see you next week! xox Ez

Sponsor Spotlight: Bario-Neal

Hello bloggy friends! It's Friday (woohoo) and I am back to post in my new section here on Creature Comforts that spotlights my amazing long-term blog sponsors (many of the ones who you see at the right). This blog would truly not be possible without their support, so this is my little way of saying thanks for making my dream of blogging an ongoing reality. They are awesome!

Today I am excited to introduce you to the Bario-Neal jewelry line. Anna Bario and Page Neal (the talented ladies behind the business) have worked diligently to create a product line that uses low-impact eco-conscious practices...such as reclaimed precious metals and ethically-sourced stones. Their passion for creating beautiful and ethical work truly shines through in each of their handcrafted pieces. Along with the stunning jewelry currently available for purchase through their site, you will also find that they specialize in creating custom work for weddings and special occasions that is truly exquisite. Pop on over to the Bario-Neal site to see much more, and if you'd like you can read more about their business here.

*Please note, that while ad placement (in the right-hand column) was purchased by my featured sponsors, the Sponsor Spotlight segment is not a paid portion.
