Mystian Fantasy Crafts Art Trade

Even though this is my second blog post, Mystian Fantasy Crafts is actually my first ever art trade and I honestly, truly could NOT be happier with it!

Amanda is such a lovely, LOVELY person. She's the absolute sweetest and always willing to answer any questions I have. It clear the passion that goes into her crafts and I'm just so excited to have these babies and call them my own. <3

When I got the box, I opened it up and the stuffing literally started to billow out from the top! Trust me when I say your dragons are going to get to you safe and sound!

Inside I found my Moon Dragon who is a mix of beautiful pastel shades, my Slytherin Book Guardian trying to keep that pesky Monster book of Monsters shut, and a business card that had a lovely little message written on the back!

 I honestly can not extol the beauty of this dragon enough. These colors are so complimentary and the blue/green pastel is just the absolute perfect shade! And look at all that shimmer! I love it!

Plus, I got a little tree charm! I love, love, loooove the whole thing!

 When I asked for a book guardian, I knew I wanted Slytherin colors and I knew he was going to be incredibly cute! But, when I asked for the Monster book of Monsters, I had not expected for it to come out absolutely PERFECTLY!

Seriously, this little dragon is the cutest thing!

 Remember all that fluff? Perfect for a photo op! ;)

 And to top it all off she signs the bottoms! HOW CUTE AND SWEET IS THAT! I absolutely ADORE this personal touch!

If you're not a fan or you're not familiar with Mystian Fantasy Designs, I urge you to please go and check her out. Otherwise, you're seriously missing out.

Dragon and Dreams Designs Art Trade

I had the absolute joy and pleasure of participating in an art trade with the lovely Carrie from Dragon and Dreams Designs! 

If you haven't liked her or you aren't familiar with her work, I urge you to go and do so! Her claywork is varied and amazing! I'm absolutely thrilled and amazed by not only the items I received from her, but also the time and energy that she put into packing up the items!

The devotion, energy, and thought she puts into even just packing her items for shipping is clear to see. Trust me when I say that your items will arrive safe and sound. I cut the tape, pulled off the bubble wrap, removed the air cushions, found a taped bag with boxes inside and my items nestled between two pieces of cotton inside that!

 When I got the bag out of the bubble wrap, I noticed that it not only had a tree in representation of my little EntOrphans, but also my name! Not only that, but she sent a card!

 Inside this HANDMADE card, was a lovely, lovely little note and her business card! How freaking cute is this?! Buuut, it gets cuter...

 I opened the bag to find three boxes, a bag, a ladybug rock, and a flower.

Please note that the ladybug and flower were not part of my order and were things she just threw in!

The boxes are amazing and I'm going to have to keep them because they're just beautiful! But guys... it gets EVEN CUTER....

 The images on the boxes match what's inside the boxes!!!! Give me a moment, because I still find this to be the CUTEST thing even an hour after the fact!

Here are all the items and I just couldn't be happier. If you're wondering about the tiny scroll and blue patch that came with the fairy door, that's a small scroll that tells you some lore about fairy doors and the blue is tack so that you can fix it to a wall.

And... to top it all off, as I pulled the backings off the earrings, I find this little sticker. It was the cherry on top of the cake.

Trust me when I say that this has made my month and you absolutely will NOT regret buying from Dragon and Dreams Designs!
