Rose Bush Designs ~ ETT Shop of the Week



Beth Wietrzykowski is the guiding light ( and hand! ) behind the beautiful cards at Rose Bush Designs. Beth's designs ship internationally as well as in the US, and offer the beauty and individuality of a hand-crafted card for any occasion, something many of us wish for when confronted by racks of mass-produced cards.

"All of what I make is something I would give to someone myself. I cut, stamp, color and put all these together by hand. I do not have any kind of printing machine or mass produce cards (wouldn't it be nice though!). All of my products are available in multiples and I'm happy to do custom orders or change colors if desired. My inspirations come from anywhere! I get ideas from nature, magazines, friends, anywhere really. I'm still learning every day about new techniques, ways to make my product better, ways to photograph and edit my pictures as well as new crafting products. It's a never ending lesson for me and I think that is what keeps me going and excited about my craft. "

NDN Chick ~ ETT Shop of the Week



Leanna Pierre, of NDN Chick on etsy, has been beading her whole life! She’s a member of the Colville Tribe in Cusick, Washington.

“I bead pretty much what ever I can get my hands on. I have made everything from hair barrettes to a beaded whistle. When I need to give my wrist and fingers a break from all the bead weaving and tacking I also make greeting cards. When I make an item it's not just an item to me. A piece of myself goes into it while I am creating it. If I am feeling sad or mad I don't create anything, I don't want those feelings transferred to the new owner. Each item I create is special to me and sometimes it's hard for me to let it go.”

Special Offer (June 8 - 14): Leanna is offering free shipping on all orders (including international). The shipping prices have already been changed so customers will not need to wait for a refund or corrected invoice!
