Vendor Spotlight: Sweet Sincerity

Evening Sun Ring by Sweet Sincerity

Ok, duders!  Time for some jewelry!  Surprisingly, we had very few jewelry applications this year.  One of them came from the wonderful Bethany of Sweet Sincerity jewelry, located way up there in Bangor, ME.  In advance:  thanks for driving down to see us, Bethany!!

The beadwork of earrings, bracelets and necklaces at Sweet Sincerity have always been fancy, ornate, and colorful – and just this year Bethany has been learning jewelry smithing, adding an entirely new dimension to the products she offers.  Sweet Sincerity is on Facebook – click here to go to the page and “like” it!

Bethany is intense, like the jewelry at Sweet Sincerity!

Bethany answered some of our “Big Chill” questions, here are her answers!:

The Big Chill:  What is the first sign of winter, in your opinion?

Sweet Sincerity:  When I stop shaving my legs, comforted by the knowledge that they will not see the light of day for the next 7 months…

TBC:  What items from Sweet Sincerity will keep people happy throughout the dark days of winter?

SS:  I hope that the thought of the Sweet Sincerity Jewelry they know they are wearing somewhere under the layers of long johns, mittens, sweaters and scarves will warm their little hearts!

TBC:  What’s your favorite winter comfort food?

SS:  Tea and cream-filled cupcakes.  Or tequila.

Us, too!  Join Bethany from Sweet Sincerity for some salt, lime and tequila (ok, not really) at The Big Chill arts, crafts and vintage sale on Saturday, December 3rd at the Mayo Street Arts Center in Portland.  Yes!

Vendor Spotlight: Sweet Sincerity

If ever there was a THAW day, it’s today!  Love the birdies singing and tolerating the ice cream trucks turkey-in-the-straw-ing all over the neighborhood.

Today we bring you the lovely Sweet Sincerity jewelry!

Sweet Sincerity jewelry designs has been humorously and enthusiastically recording her (Bethany’s!) process as a new seller to Etsy via her Blogspot blog.  She also tracks gaining new skills in jewelry classes and anecdotes, in general, that make you feel like you know her even though she’s stationed alllll the way up in Bangor.  Her budding silver smithing skills, advanced beading techniques and enthusiasm are what make us so sure she’s a perfect fit for The THAW!

Celebrate Spring with this charming trio!

Recently, Sweet Sincerity has made the addition of one beautiful sister who first started modeling for Bethany and soon started making jewelry, too!  We love when families craft together, so these girls will fit right in among Threads of Hope, Flat Out Tees, Glorijane, My Little Anchor, Merchants Row and MORE at The THAW.

In addition to beaded assemblages, Sweet Sincerity also has gorgeous little jewelry boxes perfect for putting a special gift for someone in.  Here’s a floral number that would be perfect with the necklace we posted above:

So if you have a little Sunday afternoon time, we highly recommend you take a look at Bethany’s Etsy shop to get the gears turning about what you must must must have at The THAW.  And!  When you’re done with that and up for a laugh, read the Sweet Sincerity blog, a chronicle of Bethany’s jewelry, life, successes and mishaps all with her incredible sense of humor.

Please make 50,000 of these, Sweet Sincerity, because I will buy them all!
