Winter Headbands & Scarflette
I purchased two custom orders from this amazing seller. She is completely accommodating, has great communication, has a fast turnaround (even with customer orders!) and delivers beautiful and excellent quality hand-knit items. Both the winter headbands and the scarflettes were warm, soft and knitted in beautiful colors with nice-quality buttons. Her gift wrap is beautiful.

Boo-Boo Cream
I searched high and low for a skin cream that would calm my skin. I have very sensitive, allergic-prone skin, which has chronically given me problems. I found Boo-Boo Cream on Etsy.com, which is described as being an almost completely organic skin cure-all, especially good for scrapes, insect bites, rashes and even infections and diaper rashes!
The 4 oz. jar was immediately shipped by The Colestead, and I recieved it in just a few days, which I appreciated since my skin’s needs were pretty immediate. The heavy glass jar is pretty and I’ll reuse it when I’m done! The Boo-Boo cream is more of a heavy salve-type substance, and has a light, wonderful scent: it smells of rosemary and olive oil, which is very comforting. It has been about 3 weeks, and it’s working wonderfully! A great natural remedy that I suggest keeping on hand for all of it’s uses.

Aunt Helen’s Pumpkin Bread
I can’t say enough about this tasty treat. The “Pumpkin Queen of Las Vegas” offers loaves, muffins mini-loaves and pumpkin-shaped loaves. I intended to order a loaf of this bread to give as a gift, and to my delight I learned that Jewel of the Lion includes two loves (and multiple of the other styles) per order!
Aunt Helen’s Pumpkin Bread isn’t just a tasty treat: baking is part of a time-honored family tradition for this seller, and as she makes each batch she uses the same love and technique of this special tradition.
I recieved the bread two days after I ordered it, and it was fresh and amply wrapped. Storage instructions were included, along with a sweet little thank-you note! I was able to give one loaf as a gift and keep one for my husband and myself. The bread is so tasty, sweet and dense with a lite zing of spice! Not only was the bread delicious (and eaten in one night!) but it’s very pretty: the loaves are thin, providing “mini” slices, and a deep golden color that make for a pretty snack to serve to guests.
