Gifts From the Heart

The artist behind SparklyStrandz lives in Friendswood, Texas and has a day job as an occupational therapist , but her real passion lies in creating jewelry, crocheted children’s clothing, tiny picture frames, and a mix of other handmade things, mostly ranging in price between $5.00 and $40.00. Most can be easily customized and made to order.

These Baby Cowboy Booties are just adorable in dark brown and fuchsia, but they can be made in any color, and at a very affordable $12.00 a pair!

Her Swirly wire-wrapped rings incorporate buttons as the focal, and retail for $8.00 each.

Circles and circular chain links have been in style for at least the past 8 months and still holding strong. This necklace ($30.00) and pair of earrings ($15.00) combine hammered silver-plated links that are flattened and textured, with Serpentine, pearls and pressed glass beads. With these two matching pieces you can have an ensemble that will go with just about any earthtone color.
