Well fariedtreasures is a 26 year old eclectic collector, abstract artist, sculptor, photographer, writer and jewelry maker. She is also a keeper of an adorable little girl hamster named Barbara Streisand! Cute! lol!
Faeries are her muse. "Soft, Delicate, graceful... Tiny invisible collectors of the morning dew. As inspiring as they are beautiful. I hope to fill this shop with all those things, so I named it accordingly. These things are all "Faeried Treasures"."

Her shop is amazing! Her creations are photographed to show them off to there best and they are truly beautiful wether it be oldy worldy books or crisp green leaves each setting is perfect just like each creation! Lots of listings are accompanied by lovely quotes or pomes adding to the magic! Like this one on her profile:
"Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the disheveled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame."
~William Butler Yeats
I always feel totally enchanted by fairies and there world and looking at Faeriedtreasures shop you feel like you are looking into a faires treausry chest and seeing all the wonderfull things they have collected! I found myself just clicking and clicking through her shop wanting more and being a lil sad when i got to the end! lol!
This is my current fav in Faeriedtreasures --->
Its called Depths Of The Ocean
Its just gorgeous! At $18.00 with free shipping to US and Canada until 1st December 2008 its would make a perfect Christmas Present for someone special or a lil treat for yourself!
So I have to confess it wasn't only Faeriedtreasures beautiful creations that inspired me!
I started to read her profile, here is part of it:
"In March of 2008, I was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with Congestive heart failure (CHF). The doctors didn't think I would make it. One of my IV's failed, and my right arm was pumped full of potassium, and I lost most of the use of my right arm and hand as a result. I was released from the hospital on oxygen, and a week later my kidneys failed. After another lengthy stay in the hospital, I was finally released for good."
Faeriedtreasures then goes on to explain the months that followed and the struggle she had coming to terms with the fact that without the use of her right arm not only where day to day tasks where impossible but as an artist she couldn't do the work that she loved.
This really struck a cord with me. I don't know how I would cope!
What inspired me was that Faeriedtreasures picked herself up and got on with it! She adapted OK so she couldn't do the sculpting or drawing she wanted to do but like a true artist she used her skills elsewhere and started to make jewellery!
To me this shows that she has art in her heart! She channeled her artistic vibes into something else and it works so well! Her creations are amazing!
<------Faery Gold- Whimsy Collection Necklace $40.00

I'm sure there is so much more I could say about Faeriedtreasures and I'm sure there is lots more to come! Far from feeling pity (which she would never want!) I felt utterly enchanted and inspired!
Im also sure she would want you all to know SHE NO LONGER HAS CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE!
"My cardiologist gave me a high five and expressed his pride in my progress. I beat the odds and I'm still fighting', but the diagnosis has been lifted, and I really am getting better! There is hope for everything!" 31st October 2008
So with Faeriedtreasures getting stronger every day she gives hope to everyone and I know that I cant wait to see what she makes next to draw us further into the world that is Faeriedtreasures!
So Head on over to Etsy and visit Faeriedtreasures!
