Every lady needs some BitzofBling..


Hi Everyone!!!!! Happy Monday darlings!!! Today, it's my honor to introduce you to my friend Jen Lindsay, owner of BitzofBling Designz and TheCactusBlossom.  She began bead working when she was only 12 years old, using her allowance to buy all of the beads she could and passionately working them into beautiful pieces.  (I love a girl with motivation!)

Jen Lindsay, owner of BitzofBling Designz & TheCactusBlossom
 In 2007, Jen began making items for the local craft fair in school pride colors and decided right away that mediocre workings and baubles just weren't good enough. She used top notch materials like sterling silver, turquoise, etc from the beginning to create one of a kind pieces, which is her favorite part of her talent.


My Heart's Desire (Bitz of Bling Designz)
 She knew it was time to expand and open up an Etsy so she opened up not one, but two Etsy shops to market her lovely necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in 2008, taking a small hiatus for her daughter's senior year in the end of 2009 into 2010. She came back into business in 2010 full blast, pouring her heart and creativity into these wearable pieces of art.

Sedona (TheCactusBlossom)
 Jen LOVES custom pieces and openly encourages her customers to contact her if they want something special designed just with them in mind.

Custom Order
 I can promise you, you will find something unique, gorgeous, and quality in her shops.  Looking for something with a Southwestern flair?? You HAVE to see her second shop, TheCactusBlossum.  Elegant use of natural elements like turquoise, baltic amber, and silver.

Ancient Healing Set (TheCactusBlossom)
Roll that eye candy!
