I apologize for launching this a little late this week! I’ve been sick in bed the past 2 days with a severe cold! I went to the doc today and got some antibiotics so hopefully they will start kicking in soon and I can resume my creativity! (don’t want to be making things with germy fingers after all!)

Next week we are going on vacation to Iowa to visit some extended family in good ol’ farm country. I’m fairly certain I won’t have much internet access, so I probably won’t be updating my blog next week. I’ll be back soon though! (any purchases from my etsy shop will be mailed on Monday, June 1 when I return)

And now, without further ado let me introduce you to this week’s Etsy Spotlight: Cherie Blossom Designs!

Cherie Blossom Designs

Cherie Duggan is the wonderful crafter and artist who founded Cherie Blossom Designs, based out of our friendly neighbors to the north, beautiful British Columbia, Canada where she creates with her supportive husband and two children, er, cats. Her cards are BEAUTIFUL and her tub tea is DELICIOUS! (I should know, I bought some!) Cherie is constantly working on new projects for her shop so keep checking back! Her shop’s address is: http://www.CherieBlossomDesigns.etsy.com

Cherie Blossom Designs’ Cards

I love Cherie Blossom Designs’ cards. They are beautiful; simplistic, but so timeless and sweet with just the right amount of texture and detail. Her notecards come in sets of 4 and are perfect for just about anyone! Pictured above are her Cute Mini Owl Flat Note Cards and I LOVE her adorable owl with yellow pearl eyes! Each of her note cards are two sided – with a solid color on one side and a pattern on the reverse. She also takes the time to put a little coordinating embellishment on the envelope flap!

Tub Tea

How does a nice steamy, relaxing soak in the tub sound? Ok, how does an aromatic delicious cup of tea sound? Well, you’re in luck! Cherie has combined the two and brewed her own tub tea bags! She has three flavors: Rejuvenating, Romantic & Relaxing! She also sells the Three R’s together in a Mixed 3-pack. I purchased her Relaxing Tub Tea and it’s bliss, let me tell you! Perfect for the end of one of THOSE days when your brain is ready to explode from overexertion! Try one or try them all!

Aside from Cherie Blossom Designs’ Etsy Shop, you can find this wonderfully talented artisan on Twitter (http://Twitter.com/CherieBlossom/) and Facebook under Cherie Blossom Designs. I especially want to encourage you to become a fan of her Facebook page because not only does she create great works of art and aromatics, she also bakes custom sweets. As she is located in beautiful British Columbia (seriously, just read their license plate! It’s true!), some of us here in the States might be out of luck with her delicious cupcakes, but just looking at the pictures of her creations makes my mouth water. I’m partial to the color yellow, so I love the cupcakes she made for her Grand Opening Spring Party event. Yum!

Like a lot of etsy artists, Cherie loves custom work – send her a convo through etsy to find out more! Otherwise check out her shop at CherieBlossomDesigns.etsy.com!

Thanks for creating with us!
