			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Bonjour, mi amor! I&#8217;m not going to fib: one of my <span style="color:#63c4c0;"><em><strong>guilty pleasures</strong></em></span> is looking at fabulous lingerie. Whether it&#8217;s a bodacious corset, shimmery satin camisole or a pair of <span style="color:#63c4c0;"><em><strong>frilly undies</strong></em></span>, I&#8217;m bound to turn my eyes and drool a little bit. Too bad I don&#8217;t have all the money in the world to spend on such pretty undergarments. Mayhaps you can find a few in this bunch to <span style="color:#63c4c0;"><em><strong>spend your pennies</strong></em></span> on, though.</p>

It would be best suited for someone with a very petite frame, just for the longest life possible.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Why, hi there! Today on Wendy&#8217;s Gem&#8217;s we have a pretty feature. This is the story of Amber, owner of Ety&#8217;s Vintage Vanity. Enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3621959028_2e603a71fc_m.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<ul>
<li><em><strong><span style="color:#d6ab80;">Tell Wendy&#8217;s Gems about yourself.</span> </strong></em>Family and friends are a huge part of my life. I<em> lov</em>e to laugh&#8230;a lot. I <em>love</em> fashion, art museums, theater, architecture, vintage clothing and accessories and antiques. I <em>love</em> to paint, draw and obviously make jewelry. I&#8217;m eager to learn how to sew, sculpt pottery and design clothing. I <em>love </em>music&#8230;almost any genre. I <em>love</em> the outdoors&#8230;camping, hiking, swimming, and most every sport (volleyball being my favorite). I <em>love</em> reality TV&#8230;&#8221; [my name is Amber and I am a reality TV junkie" - LOL]. I&#8217;m a magazine junkie too&#8230;seriously, I could spend a full day flipping through all sorts of magazines. My favorite place to visit is downtown Charleston, SC&#8230;it&#8217;s a city filled with great architecture and history. I am totally open minded and would try <em>almost</em> anything.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#d6ab80;"><em><strong>What&#8217;s the inspiration behind your jewelry?</strong></em></span> I&#8217;ve always been amazed with old style architecture and antiques, thanks to my mother. Combine that with my love of fashion and the environmentally conscious city that I live in and&#8230;(drum roll, please)&#8230;The Vintage Vanity is born. I use vintage and reused jewelry pieces to create wearable art.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#d6ab80;"><em><strong>When did you begin crafting jewelry?</strong></em></span> I started creating jewelry pieces1-1/2  years ago . However, I started seriously focusing on creating my jewelry about 8 months ago.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#d6ab80;"><em><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite flavor of bubblegum and why?</strong></em></span> Bubblegum flavor as in Bazooka Joe bubblegum. Original and classic. I guess I&#8217;m a purist when it comes to bubblegum flavors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#d6ab80;"><em><strong>What color describes your personality best?</strong></em></span> Although I wear a lot of black, the color that best describes my personality is periwinkle. Unique, soft hued (shy) but with an edge, gentle, careful, imaginative, peaceful, amiable, easy going, calm, creative&#8230;</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">For <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>hundreds of years</strong></em></span>, the human race has been obsessed with <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>color</strong></em></span>. Some say that certain colors have a weight; some say they evoke memories of long time past. Others prefer not to study the color, but to instead <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>enjoy it</strong></em></span>. Whether you&#8217;re an artist, an art-appreciator, a poet, a jeweler, a pessimist or simply <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>a fan of life</strong></em></span>, one thing remains the same: color has <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>power</strong></em></span>. Now, after a lead like that you&#8217;d expect me to choose a hue like red, black or <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>violent gray</strong></em></span>, wouldn&#8217;t you? <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>Well, I&#8217;m not going to</strong></em></span>. I&#8217;m choosing pink. Because I like pink. And pink, in my eyes, is <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>irrefutably divine</strong></em></span>.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;This bow is for the <span style="color:#ad8fcb;"><em><strong>extreme fashionista</strong></em></span> with a love for PVC, pink and Lady Gaga.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mmk, so I&#8217;m totally aware that it&#8217;s the <span style="color:#e18d50;"><em><strong>dead-middle</strong></em></span> of winter. But that gives me all the more reason to look forward to Spring, right? Blossoming meadows, <span style="color:#e18d50;"><em><strong>crunchy vegetables</strong></em></span>, candied air and super-cute <span style="color:#f1995f;"><em><strong>garden party</strong></em></span> dresses. Right? Right? Well, this WendysGems update is a result of my yearning for those very things. I swear, my fingers did all the <span style="color:#e18d50;"><em><strong>gem-searching</strong></em></span> without my brain knowing what was going on. Enjoy!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;This set would be the <span style="color:#f1995f;"><em><strong>perfect gift</strong></em></span> for a gardener! The planter is shaped like a <span style="color:#f1995f;"><em><strong>red watering can</strong></em></span> and is made of ceramic. You could actually use it as a watering can for house plants,as there are holes in the spout! The tools have <span style="color:#f1995f;"><em><strong>sturdy green handles</strong></em></span> with metal lips. There is a <span style="color:#f1995f;"><em><strong>spade</strong></em></span>,a shovel and a rake. The watering can is marked Japan and has some wear to the paint finish and it could use a cleaning.&#8221;</p>

Oh, <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>Alice in Wonderland</strong></em></span> &#8211; you&#8217;ve inspired many, many artists.

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><em>&#8220;</em></em>The <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>Alice fascinator</strong></em></span> takes its name from the heroine of the much beloved children’s story Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland. A remarkable <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>coming of age tale</strong></em></span>, Alice makes unlikely friends with <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>unforgettable characters</strong></em></span> such as the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, and the Cheshire Cat, and learns through the course of her journey that she is more grown-up and <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>brave</strong></em></span> than she had ever before imagined. Although it was originally published in 1865, this amazing story is as <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>relevant and inspirational</strong></em></span> now as it ever was.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><em>&#8220;</em></em>This listing is for a signed 4 1/2&#8243; x 6 1/2&#8243; PRINT on 5 1/2&#8243; x 8 1/2&#8243; <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>heavy matte photo paper </strong></em></span>of Alice and the Caterpillar. They will arrive in a protected envelope via First Class Mail. More on Alice: Although it is not common knowledge, <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>Alice continued to return to Wonderland</strong></em></span> well into adulthood. Apparently, once one has been immersed in that <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>caliber of strangeness</strong></em></span>, it&#8217;s hard not to go back. Here Alice is pictured having a chat and <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>a spot of tea</strong></em></span> with her old friend, the Caterpillar, who, it turns out, is female and named <span style="color:#cb7bae;"><em><strong>Zanzibara</strong></em></span>. A small snail slithers over to offer a Hello.&#8221;</p>
