I just finished making mad quantities of caramel apples with my hubby, friend and parents for our apple shop and I sat down to do some etsy work when I realized I had to come up with a theme for Thursday! It seemed only fitting to match it up with the snack I’m enjoying (and frequently enjoy) – POPCORN! Here are some of my finds:

Hot Buttered Popcorn - Lip Balm/Gloss - Moisturizing - Smooths and Protects Your Lips from ABreathofFrenchair sounds soooo yummy to me! I just love buttered popcorn!

***NOTE**** I’ll have to update this list in a day or two…the photostream is not all up on flickr yet. I’ll do what I can! ***UPDATED on 10/11/09

I attended a wholesale show this past summer and I met Kristin the owner of Blue Hill By Hand.  I have blogged about my work with them in the past but now I have some even more exciting news. 

BlueHillByHand is mainly a wholesale dealer in handmade jewelry.  Kristin and her other employees really liked my Candy Drop Ring Design and have ‘purchased’ it from me.  They are now selling these rings wholesale across the country and I will be receiving a royalty fee for everyone they sell!  I am so excited about this news!  AND I will still be selling my rings from my shop…just not at a wholesale price.

They have modified the design a tad to make it more practical for wholesaling…the base has been simplified (but still is perfect!) and they’ve created color schemes for the rings.  Here’s what they have to offer:

If you are a retailer interested in purchasing these rings at a wholesale price go to www.wholesalecrafts.com.  They should also be available soon from the Blue Hill By Hand website.
