Indies of the Week: This is It! Creations/Spare Soles - February 21, 2008

What if you could buy handcrafted items that are not only amazingly unique but benefit our earth and others? Well…that’s exactly what you’ll get when shopping at This is It! Creations. Northern Californians, Dan and Jodi, searched for a long time for a way to have a great business and they’ve come up with an array of items that are spectacular for gift giving. The talented duo makes photo albums, jewelry, scrapbooks and greeting cards that you are gonna love!

Every paper product that you see on their website is made using recycled and/or eco-friendly paper. This couple creates such lovely paper products and you can read on their website about the different kinds of paper that they use. It’s very informative reading & will help to educate readers about making good decisions when purchasing paper products.

The jewelry line is wonderful as well and has many unique designs…suitable for every day wear. The earrings pictured here are made of sterling silver with jade & faux pearl. I love my pair and have received many compliments on them.

This is It! Creations has a great wholesale business (an ideal line to carry in your shop if you are a shop owner) and they donate 5% of their profits to animal-welfare groups. Retail orders are welcomed as well through their website. Be sure to visit their Etsy shop, too.

Shop away…you’ll be happy.

Now for some reason, my daughters have these big feet. They certainly did not inherit them from me. They like to dress up and wear heels from time to time…but you know the story with heels…great looking…not so comfortable.

My youngest daughter was going to a school dance last night and wanted to wear these really tall heels that she had purchased for another dance. But could she really have a great time in them? Probably not. Enter Spare Soles. Yes, I had an answer & I was scheduled to write about them this week.

Created by shoe lover Andrea Weisner, Spare Soles are truly a shoe to cheer about. The shoes come in black and silver with a jeweled bow on each shoe. These fold up neatly into a little bag that comes with them…not only can you have the shoes in the little bag, but you can make it into a little purse & carry a few extra items.

When your feet start to hurt, it’s time to pop out your Spare Soles and gain some comfort. The shoes are perfect for travel (such as airplanes), office, weddings, nightclubs or any shoe emergency that you can imagine. Spare Soles are waterproof & washable.
