Feature Friday: Moose Country Crafts

Since last weekend was a holiday, there was no Feature Friday post. Here's the first Feature of the month and today it's Moose Country Crafts ("For the love of rustic, Americana, and home.") and the talented work at home mom (WAHM) behind it, Jamie. Her shop is full of great items and she's an amazing person, too.

Here's a bit about Jamie and her shop in her own words:

Welcome! I'm a stay at home mom (for now) with two kids (4 and 20 months, two dogs, just one husband :). I love all things country and homey!

A little bit about me...I was an environmental planner who was laid off about three years ago, worked some contract work in between and then became pregnant again in January of 2012. I found out in July of 2012 that I had breast cancer. So after coming out of that with a beautiful baby girl, as she and my son have become a bit older and more independent, I decided to get back into doing something a bit creative. Re-started my Etsy and facebook page in May and have just been plugging away at marketing ever since :) I'm slowly adding items all the time!

I try to use mostly upcycled or recycled items just because I feel like reused items can tell a story. Many of the items I'm using right now, frames and such, came from my grandparents house that I have been cleaning out for the past two years. And many that my grandfather made himself. I love burlap because it just exudes country, old and rustic.

How cool is it that she gets to repurpose frames that her grandfather made? I really like that aspect of her creations. Giving new life to items is always a great creative adventure!
