Etsy Supply Street Team - ESST - Appreciates Their Customers

By Michelle of Evie's Tool Emporium

As supply sellers on Etsy each of our shops have stories of wonderful customers. We would like to take the time to recognize one of them today!

This creative artist is a wonderful customer of ESST member SuppliesForU. First a little bit about SuppliesForU. She had the opportunity to open a craft/consignment store which she ran for 5 years before selling. She is currently crafting at home and her work is featured in a local craft store. When time permits, she also sells her creations at craft fairs during the holidays

The customer of SuppliesForU that we would like to recognize is vintagefushionjewelry. The mission of Vintage Fusion is to recycle vintage pieces into unique cocktail, statement and button rings that are fashionable for today. She did exactly that when she found this earring that belonged to her grandma.

Vintage Fusion purchased an adjustable ring blank from SuppliesForU and created this fabulous adjustable ring! The ring is made with a vintage earring that is dome shaped and consists of six gems that are surrounded by gold piping.
It has been fun sharing with you an item that has been created with supplies from SuppliesForU. Please be sure to check out her shop and the other lovely creations that this wonderful customer of SuppliesForU has crafted.
