Mangolicious Gifts - Nancy's Designs Jewlery

I thought I'd branch out a bit for this installment of our eco and budget friendly holiday gift ideas and feature a fellow Etsy Street Team member from the East Valley Artisans (EVA). I was introduced to Nancy and her beautiful jewelry creations in July when I joined the EVA team. Being a bit of a nature girl at heart, I love that Nancy uses real leafs and twigs in many of her designs. What's better than a pair of blinged out Japanese maple leaf earrings?! I love them! Of course she uses only the finest silver and Swarovski crystals for her beaded designs that will satisfy all the glam girls as well. If you're having a tough time finding something for that friend that has everything or your sister that loves all things hand made, check out Nancy's store here and you'll find plenty of one-of-a-kind gifts. Make sure to mention Paper Mango in your order and let her know you heard about her store on our blog!

Happy shopping!

ITB Local Artists Market Recap

Well, the first-of-the-season Inside the Bungalow Local Artists Market has come and gone. I had such a great time hanging out with all of the EVA girls and meeting all the great people that came out to support their local artists. I should have known that my predictions about the weather cooling off were a bit premature since September is still the dog days here in Mesa-Phoenix. But aside from the heat and a few gale force gusts of wind, everything was fantastic!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to support Paper Mango and all of the local artists. I really look forward to getting more involved in these Downtown Mesa events and being a part of breathing some life into that area!

Since Fall is (sorta kinda) approaching, there are a lot of craft fairs and artists markets re-opening for the season. Stay tuned for more event dates to come check out Paper Mango live!

I managed to snap a few photos of the Paper Mango table before people started arriving. Check them out below.

East Valley Artisans

Consider this an extension of my I Heart Etsy post. Last Wednesday evening I had the privilege to meet up with the East Valley Artisans {EVA} Etsy team. This is a group of multi-talented artists who all sell their creations on Etsy and live in the Metro Phoenix East Valley. Being the only paper goods person there it was inspiring to see all the other art forms being shown off. You can check out more info and see some amazing creations at the EVA blog.
