Twintastic Creations Etsy Shop

Hello all,

I wanted to let you know about a new thing I'm going to be doing fairly often.

I've been hearting quite a few Etsy shops here lately, and i thought I'd share them with you!
(See all my faves HERE...)



This week I'm blogging about Twintastic Creations.

Not only did they make a fun new word, but they made some pretty sweet little totes too!

Twintastic Creations is a business that two identical twins started a few months back on Facebook. And now they've decided to bring their cute totes to Etsy!

Here are some of my favorites, and a little bit more about their shop.



Each tote is 13X13" and is made out of all kinds of cute fabrics. Each tote is lined with thin batting and fabric to keep it sturdy, so it won't collapse when you set it down. Each tote comes with a matching drawstring bag to store small items. These totes are very versatile, they work great as a purse, book bag, craft bag, or even a diaper bag!

Hope you enjoy!

Facebook!

Hello all,

Rivers & Co. Is on Facebook! Look us up, and become a fan. :-)

Some of my favorite things.

As a designer I sometimes get asked "What's your favorite thing?" or stone, or piece of jewelry.
I try to answer them as well as I can on the spot but, there's so many beautiful things out there! It's hard to narrow it down.

For this post I'll show you some of my favorite things.

#1. Pearl's!

I have yet to find a pearl I don't like.





#2. Sterling Silver!

Sterling Silver has a Chic quality about it that Gold or even Platinum doesn't have.



#3. Swarovski Crystals!

No, that's not a piece of jewelry. But it's still so beautiful!


Swarovski Crystals are the highest quality Crystal available.



#4. Labradorite!

With most stones you have to polish them before they will shine. But with the Labradorite, you can just pull it out of the ground and use it.


When it catches the light, it's truly beautiful.



#5. Aquamarine!

Aquamarine, with the right cut, it will shine like a Diamond.





#6. Sea Coral!

Coral, It proves that we will go to the ends of the earth, or in this case the depths of the ocean, to bring you the very best.




Well, that's just the few I could remember.

What do you think? :-)
