Made With Love Event! A Novel Idea Crafts Review and Giveaway! ***CLOSED***

~This post is part of the handmade "Made With Love" event. All giveaways run from July 18th-24th. View all 13 sponsors on my blog and visit additional co-hosts for this event HERE~

This sponsor has a really cool story to go along with their Etsy shop! They are actually in the middle of the adoption process to adopt a child from Ethiopia!  All the profit from their Etsy shop, A Novel Idea Crafts, goes straight fund their journey to adopt a child!  They make beautiful jewelry and handcrafted picture frames!

About The Designer:

My name is Abbey and I am a wife to a great man and mom of a 2 yr old. We live in Houston, TX with our 2 dogs and a turtle. I love doing crafts with my sister (who is also my best friend) and started making jewelry last September as a new hobby. I now have made over 50 items and have many ideas for the future! We are adopting from Ethiopia and all sales from our etsy shop help fund our adoption!

The Review:

I received a beautiful pair of beaded earrings to review. They are silver and black which are two colors I wear a lot so I can wear these a lot as well! I love how even though these are handmade you would never know. They are so delicately crafted and beautifully made! The necklaces are beautiful too and would accent any outfit! If you’re not a jewelry wearer then you can still find something beautiful from A Novel Idea Crafts because they also make beautiful picture frames or boxes to accent your home or workplace with beautiful pictures! 

Here's the earrings I received!
